| 2010 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | PURCHASED 2010 VW PASSAT WITH 69 MILES ON 6/14/2010 IMMEDIATELY NOTICED VEHICLE SHUDDERED IN REVERSE AFTER STARTING. ON 6/27/2010 AFTER DRIVING APPROX. 4 BLOCKS WHILE ON AN INCLINE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE RPMS AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING UP AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD GO NO WHERE IN ADDITION NO GEAR WAS INDICATED ON THE CONTROL DISPLAY. CHANGING GEARS DIDN'T HELP. AFTER REPEATEDLY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO DISPLAY A GEAR AND MOVE. THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN LATER THAT SAME EVENING ALMOST UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 150 MILES. I PLACED THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE THE NEXT DAY. THE SERVICE TECH INDICATED THAT VW WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLLED THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I SHOULD BE GETTING A NOTICE ABOUT A RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE UP TO TWO WEEKS TO GET THE PART. MY VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE IN THE SHOP FOR AFTER MARKET DETAILING FOR TWO DAYS ANYWAY. ON 6/29/2010 I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS READY THAT THE TECH'S HAD DRIVEN THE CAR AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO JUST LEARN THE TRANSMISSION. ON 6/30/2010 I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO PA. ON 7/1/2010 I EXPERIENCED THE SAME MECHANICAL PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING APPROX 1/4 - 1/2 MILE I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN INTO A FASTFOOD ESTABLISHMENT. AFTER TURNING IN ABOUT A CAR'S LENGTH THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRIED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND CALM DOWN THE IRATE DRIVER BEHIND ME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER SPOKE WITH VW REPEATEDLY AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE CONDITION REPEATED. I AM BEING TOLD A CODE RELATING TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS DETECTED. THAT IT WAS CLEARED AND TEST DROVE AND THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PROBLEM. THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO RELEARN THE TRANSMISSION. NO PARTS WERE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE FAILED AT LESS THAN 150 MILES AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE! *TR |
