What owners say
My car doesn't always go in reverse. The rem panel signal goes from 0-5 in minutes but feels like it's stalled. The engine light is always on. I read that there has been a recall because of a gear malfunction. And an extended warranty for cars up to 10years old or 100,000 miles. I fit into this category. This happens when I start the car and stop at a stop sign. I've taken my car to vw dealerships and private dealers and they can't seem to figure it out.
Vehicle stalls when attempting to take off vehicle nearly dies when coming to a stop. Was told by dealer the transmission needs replaced. From what I have read the early version of this transmission has been highly problematic. I have contacted volkswagen america and they informed me that there was no kind of recall for this car related to the transmission. I have however read of many other customers that have had problems with this transmission. From what I have read volkswagen has given a goodwill extended warranty on these transmissions, however they say ours is not part of this even though our car was built in early november 2009. Our car is a 2010 and has most all the symptoms the 2008 and 2009 have/had that I have read about. In my personal opinion and being a mechanic working for a nationally known tractor dealer myself I feel more should be done by volkswagen, even if they are pressured to do so. I feel our car specifically is a bit dangerous and I fear it will only become worse with time.
The check engine light coming on due to fail turbo undercharge valve, the valve has a rubber seals that is know leak or break. The manufactory has redesign the valve. The automobile will stall or not gain enough engine power.
I first notice this problem while on the highway at a speed of 65mph. The engine would stall out for a couple of seconds and then work just fine. The epc and service engine light would come on and off during these stall out periods. This would happen off and on for the next several months. Sometimes when I started the car the lights would come on and sometimes they would not. Finally in november 2013 the lights stayed on all the time. I took it to be serviced and they said it was the emission sensor. I had the part 06h127025n put on the car and my troubles stopped. Have not had any problem since. It cost me $453.55 to have it repaired. I applied for the recall but they stated it was not that part that was defective. Well that part was defected because I had to have it replaced.
