| 1997 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD, THE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN ONE GEAR OR SHIFTS SPORADICALLY. I NEARLY MISSED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY UPSHIFTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55MPH, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. THE DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM 7 TIMES ALREADY. THEY HAVE EVEN PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS CAR CAN'T BE FIXED, AND THAT IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP ME IN GETTING THE SITUATION RESOLVED. THANKYOU VINCENT BANNISTER. *AK |
| 2011 | FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL | WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI SPORTWAGON ON INTERSTATE 94 IN MICHIGAN I OBSERVED WHITE SMOKE COMING OFF MY VEHICLE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. DUE TO THE HEAVY SMOKE AND DIESEL FUMES I PULLED THE VEHICLE TO SAFE LOCATION AND SOUGHT SERVICE. THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A HEAVY LEAK IN ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTION LINES ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED WITH DIESEL FUEL FROM FRONT TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY VOLKSWAGEN. *TR |
