NHTSA complaint: 2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA — POWER TRAIN
BEEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS CLAIMING IN FOX VALLEY IL ROCKFORD IL GLENVIEW IL THAT EITHER MY MECHUNIT IS BAD/FAULTY OR DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL IS BAD/FAULTY. WAS DRIVING WHERE EITHER MY CAR WOULD SHIFT VERY ROUGH AS IF SOMEONE WHO IS VERY INEXPERIENCED WOULD LET GO OF THE CLUTCH LATE AND SHIFT HARD/ROUGH INTO 1-2-3 WITH CLICKING NOISES. CAR JUST RECENTLY SHIFTED FROM 2 TO NEUTRAL AND SCARED THE CRAPOUT OF ME. THE CAR HAS EXTREME VIBRATION AND UNCONTROLLED SHIFT PATTERNS. WAS TURNING ONTO MY STREET AND CAR WENT FROM 3-2 TO NEUTRAL WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND WENT INTO A SNOW BANK ON SIDE OF ROAD. WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE VOLKSWAGEN CONTACT ME TO EITHER REPLACE OR FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS OWNERS OF A 2006 VW TDI OR ANY AUTOMATIC WITH DSG MECHUNIT BEWARE AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL. *TR
