| Description of the problem | The vehicle i purchased was under used dealer warranty engine and transmission i went ahead and did almost $4000 in repairs to this car to make it drive somewhat normal from the original jerky start from after purchase (no it did not drive like this when i test drove) i attempted to get a new transmission because vw recommended this to remedy the issue but when i tried to contact the dealer he told me that i should stop beating on it i have come across a lot of research showing there is an open recall on this car for the sudden shifts and bucking i already had the intake manifold repaired by vw but i need help getting the transmission recall that went unnoticed by volkswagen its a real problem in this year and marque |
