Description of the problem	Bought the car brand new. It started first by going from park to drive or reverse it would rev high and lurch forward and i would have to keep a heavy foot on the brake until rpm came back down. On the interstate, repeatedly,the car would hesitate while foot was on gas. I figured out to take foot of gas pedal and reapply and it would fix the deceleration issue. Next, my car would bang into 3rd gear so hard i thought i was rear ended. It would occur 15 minutes into driving it. Got a letter ,valve body recall,and i called vw,told me it was transmission and would cost 5600. I told them i researched these symptoms and clearly states valve body. 2 weeks of calling and waiting,dealership repaired valve body. Less than a year,3rd doing something funny took to transmission shop and stated 3 rd gear is bad and so is valve body. Called dealership bc its still under warranty tried to say i couldn't get a new one bc i didn't go to their mechanic. The transmission guy called the parts manager and stated its not the job that's warrantied but the part and after waiting 4 days, got a new valve body. I've also replaced headlights and taillights 5 times,a window regulator,a battery every 2 years,and now a control door module that controls my topside mirrors,driver window and door locks is bad. I've had the ac and heat stop working when foot was off gas. Window coming apart from cartop; they clipped it bc it was under warranty. My door lock fell out under warrant. When does an investigation occur? I've written several news investigation shows and heard nothing. I have spent7000 dollars repairing this car and no one is listening to all these complaints out there. Help us get our money back and bf someone dies in this vehicle. I talked to the service manager he has no knowledge of any of these issues; its just my car! Told him to look on the internet.
