| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | 2002 JETTA VR6. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) BECAME FAULTY AFTER MIL LIGHT TURNED ON FOR A EMISSION RELATED ISSUE COVERED BY A RECALL. TECHNICIANS FAILED TO IDENTIFY THE FAULTY TCM AFTER FOUR TRIP TO THE SHOP. LAST TRIP I SHOWED THEM A TSB RELATED TO THE TCM AND NOW THEY AGREE THAT THE MODUAL IS FAULTY. WORST PART IS IT DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS BEEN HARD TO CONTROL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS SHIFTING IS NOT SMOOTH BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. CAR HAS INITIAL NO ACCELERATION/POWER FOLLOWED BY FAST JERKING SHIFT INTO THE 3RD GEAR WITH HIGH ACCELERATION. CAR MAYBE OUT OF WARRANTY BUT IDENTIFYING THIS ISSUE IS NOT EASY FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIANS AND THIS PART WHEN IT FAILS LEAVE THE CAR IN A STATE THAT IS HARD TO CONTROL OR MANAGE. DEALER ONLY OFFERED TO CREDIT THIS LAST DIAGNOSTIC FEE TOWARDS THE $4700 REPAIR WHICH NOW INCLUDE NOT JUST THE TMC MODULE BUT ALSO THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AFTER HAVING SPENT CLOSE TO $1,000 TRYING TO IDENTIFY AND FIX THIS ISSUE. NOT SURE IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE MIL LIGHT ISSUE COVERED BY THE RECALL BUT SINCE THEN THE TMC HAD NOT WORKED CORRECTLY. *TR |
