EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT OF MY 2008 VOLKSWAGEN R32 HAS A CONDENSATION BUILDUP. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LIGHT IS CONSTRUCTED INTO THE BODY OF THE CAR, OTHER'S HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A MAJOR JOB TO FIX (INCLUDING HOURS OF LABOR AND EXTENSIVE BODY WORK). I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS ALSO IN VIOLATION OF REGULATION FMVSS 108, AND THUS SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER THAT I TOOK IT TO SAID THIS WAS A "NORMAL" CONDITION AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO (WHICH CONFLICTS WHAT OTHER'S HAVE SAID). *TR |

POWER TRAIN |
RANDOM LOSS OF POWER/TORQUE COMING OUT OF DSG TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING INTO CERTAIN GEARS, JERKY REVERSE, HESITATION STARTING FROM STOP, JERKY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. HESITATION HAS RANDOMLY OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES INCLUDING AT AN INTERSECTION. JERKING (OR PULSATING POWER DELIVERY) DURING REVERSE AND WHEN DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST IS ALWAYS THERE. HESITATION WHEN STARTING FROM STOP IS ALSO ALWAYS PRESENT. I BELIEVE THIS PROBABLY AS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MECHATRONICS UNIT OF THE DSG. I AM WORRIED ABOUT SAFTEY DUE TO THE ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR OF THIS TRANSMISSION. LOSSING POWER AT AN INTERSECTION OR OTHER CRITICAL LOCATIONS CAN EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. ALSO I AM AFRAID THAT THIS ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR IS GOING TO LEAD TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ABNORMAL CLUTCH PACK WEAR WHICH MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED LATER DOWN THE LINE AFTER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY IS UP. *TR |
