| 2002 | OTHER | I HAVE A 2002 VW GTI 337 THAT WAS PURCHASED ON 7/2/02. I HAD 7777 MILES WHEN A COILPACK WENT OUT RENDERING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA KNOWS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THEIR COILPACKS AND HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THEM. IF MY WIFE WERE IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND SHE WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NO TELLING WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. RIGHT NOW VW WILL ONLY REPLACE THE BAD COILBACK BUT NOT THE OTHER THREE (4 CYL). SO DRIVING THE CAR IS THIS STATE WILL ONLY POSE ANOTHER RISK FOR FUTURE PROBLEMS AND HAZZARDS. ALSO NOTE THAT THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THESE PARTS AND I HAVE YET TO GET A REPLACEMENT FOR THE ONE THAT WENT OUT AT 7777 MILES. LUCKLY I HAVE A LOANER FROM A FRIEND BUT WITHOUT THAT, MY CAR WOULD BE A GIANT PAPERWEIGHT. PLEASE FORCE VWOA TO RECALL THESE COILPACKS. EVERYTIME I'M ON A ROAD TRIP I WORRY ABOUT ONE OF THE OTHER THREE GOING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. AND IF I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BREAK DOWN NEAR A DEALER, THE CHANCES OF THEM HAVING A REPLACEMENT IS LIKE ME WINNING THE LOTTERY. |
| 2010 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | VW GTI 2010 DSG AUTO TRANSMISSION LOSS OF POWER. 8 MONTHS WITH VEHICLE, HAD 5 EMERGENCIES ON INTERSECTION CROSS, THE GTI WILL INCREASE ENGINE REVOLUTION BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS, THEN IT WILL LAUNCH ALMOST BURNING TIRES. NOW THE CAR STARTED TO ACT THE SAME WAY WHEN YOU ARE SHIFTING DOWN FROM 5 TO 4 OR FROM 4 TO 3RD GEAR, IT LOOSES POWER FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS BEFORE IT PICKS UP POWER AGAIN. THIS SITUATION HAS PUT ME AND FAMILY INTO SERIOUS HAZARD IN A HIGHWAY. HOPE VW WILL RESOLVE THIS ISSUE SOON. CARS IS NOW (10/16/2010) ON A DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR TECHNICIANS TO CHECK IT AGAIN. PS.: CAR PRESENTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON 1ST GEAR SINCE DAY ONE WITH 10 MILES OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *TR |
