Description of the problem | While vehicle was stationary, waiting to make a left turn on an inclined surface, i waited for oncoming traffic to clear so i could make the turn. Once traffic cleared, i tried to accelerate, but the vehicle would not move forward. In fact, the vehicle rolled back about three feet before i realized what was going on (the driver behind me laid on the horn too, thank goodness). The transmission indicator was in "d" (drive) but the vehicle had zero motive power. The engine tachometer was reading as high as 6,500 rpms but the vehicle remained still, and would not move under its own power. Despite multiple attempts to engage the transmission (park, then drive, then park, then drive), the vehicle remained stalled in traffic. Ultimately, drivers of the two vehicles behind me helped to push the car across two lanes of traffic into a parking lot. The problem remained. After finally giving up, and shutting the car off and waiting approximately 20 minutes, i was able to drive the vehicle to my home, approximately 15 miles away. I came home to do some research, only to find that there are many, many complaints on the 1. 6 liter turbo version of this vehicle, most arising from the dual-clutch transmission (dct). I have had the vehicle for four months, and i now wish that i had done more research prior to my purchase. I will not be driving this vehicle until a proper remedy, replacement or repair can be made. Summary: sudden and complete loss of motive power. |
