Description of the problem	Bought my vw new. Have had problems with jerky shifting from early on. Took it to the dealer several times, and they "could not duplicate the problem". They acted like they had never heard of the problem, which has to be a lie considering the number of complaints here. I'm now past the warranty, the car is paid for, and i worry every time i get in it that i'll get stuck in a gear. Volkswagen knew the transmissions were bad in these cars and they did nothing about it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
