| 2009 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THIS IS A SEPARATE INCIDENT (I JUST FILLED A COMPLAINT ODI 10401437. SAME VW TIGUAIN. THE WEEKEND OF 4/30/11 AND 5/1/11 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING WEIRD. I WAS WATCHING THE TACHOMETER AND IT WANTED TO RED LINE, IT WAS SKIPPING GEARS, AND AT TIMES WANTED TO STALL OUT. THIS WAS VERY, VERY SCARY. IF I WENT TO PASS SOMEBODY THE VEHICLE WOULD SKIP GEARS AND NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, AT TIMES IT WOULD CATCH THE CORRECT GEAR AND WANT TO RED LINE (7,000 RPMS) I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO GET IT TO SWITCH TO THE CORRECT GEAR. I PULLED OVER TO A REST STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, IT WAS IDLING UNDER 800 RPMS AND WANTED TO STALL OUT. I SHUT IT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED IT ON, IN REVERSE IT WAS IDLING UNDER 800 RPMS AND WANTED TO STALL I GAVE IT GAS AND DROVE IT HOME. I BROUGHT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/2/11 THEY HAD THE CAR FOR THE DAY AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND TO COME PICK IT UP, NOW THEY CALLED ME AT 4:35 PM THEY CLOSED AT 5:00 PM. I WAS SO UPSET I SAID LETS TAKE A RIDE WITH AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, NOW, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS VERY, VERY SCARED THE WEEKEND PRIOR TO THIS, SO I WAS SPEAKING LOUDLY ON THE PHONE AND BASICALLY THROWING A FIT BECAUSE I KNEW THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! SO I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WAS PRESENT WHEN I ARRIVED, I HAD BEEN CRYING BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC ASKED ME IF HE COULD TAKE IT HOME I SAID ABSOLUTELY, AND THE DEALERSHIP SET UP A RENTAL FOR ME FREE OF CHARGE. I GUESS WHEN THEY SPOKE TO ME OVER THE PHONE AND SAW ME IN PERSON THEY WERE CONVINCED I WAS NOT MAKING THIS UP. THE NEXT DAY THEY REPLACED 2 FUEL INJECTORS AND EXPLAINED TO ME IT WAS NOT THE TRANSMISSION. THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND I THOUGHT IT STILL WAS NOT CORRECTED, BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND TOLD IT WAS NOT MALFUNCTIONING. *TR |
| 2011 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED SETTING, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, WILL INCREASE WHEN THE DECREASE SPEED BUTTON IS PRESSED. MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHEN REDUCING THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED USING THE TOGGLE SWITCH AT THE END OF TURN SIGNAL STEM ON THE LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN, THE CRUISE SPEED WILL INCREASE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SPEED IF THERE IS ANY HESITATION IN RESETTING THE SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE SPEED IS SET AT 55 AND THE TOGGLE SWITCH IS PRESSED 5 TIMES TO SLOW THE CAR AND RESET THE SPEED TO 50, IF THERE IS A HESITATION OF A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN TOGGLE AGAIN TO SET THE SPEED AT 49, THE CRUISE WILL RESET TO 55 AND THE CAR WILL BEGIN ACCELERATING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SPEED. THIS OCCURS EVEN THOUGH THE ONLY BUTTON PRESSED IS THE REDUCE SPEED BUTTON. THIS OCCURS AT ANY SPEED SETTING (THIS CONDITION OCCURRED 100% OF THE TIMES TESTED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 40 TO 70 MPH) AND UNDER ANY CONDITIONS (UPHILL, DOWN HILL, AND FLAT DRIVING) - SET THE SPEED LOWER, HESITATE, AND THEN REDUCE THE SPEED FURTHER - CAUSES THE CRUISE TO RESET BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SPEED AND THE CAR TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. HOPE THIS IS CLEAR - EMAIL OR CALL IF THIS REQUIRES FURTHER EXPLANATION. *TR |
