I am truly not sure. It is going into the shop tomorrow. Although, I just purchased it used, and when I park it on a hill. It makes this odd sound as if the body is going to fall apart? I smell a burning metal smell as well. It was parked on a hill so it was stationary, just not sure what it is. I know it is used but I only had it for 1 month!

I replaced my brakes with brand new brakes less than 6 months ago and still have all of the same issues. My brakes constantly lock, I've never been able to do a hardstop with this car for the 4 years I've owned it. I've avoided accidents by moving my steering wheel left and right to avoid other vehicles because my brakes lock pretty much every time. It scares me to drive this car with my 2 year old in the back seat. I replaced the ignition lock cylinder and the radiator on my car 3 years ago and my car still jumps when idle and although I can turn the ignition it most often fails to start on the first try. I have to turn it on twice for it to start. Often times when I'm at a stop light it sounds like my car is struggling to stay on.

I have the 2010 jetta tdi. The mechatronics unit has failed and vw will not sell parts for this transmission because it is faulty. Their words but they also won't recall the transmission either. Transmission shops have not been able to buy parts for this transmission for over 4 months so vw is very aware. The issue is the transmission will not allow the car to accelerate safely at all times. I was leaving a business driveway into a 5 lane road and the transmission got stuck in 1st or 2nd gear. It would not allow the car to go more than 32 MPH w/RPM's over 3.5. Shifting into neutral or park and back into drive at the stoplight did not work. I had to use the hazard lights and pull into the next parking lot safely. Turning off the car and turning it back on allowed the transmission to work again but I do not trust driving it on the freeway or merging into high speed traffic. This issue is very similar to the 2007-2009 recall and I purchased my car in november 2009 with a 2010 model. I did not have any issues w/my transmission until after the epa fix. I reported to them twice it had issues shifting in lower gears between 28-32 MPH. They said without a check engine light they could not help me and now 6 months later my transmission mechatronics unit has failed. Vw says they would cover it under the epa fix but only of the check engine light is on. Vw needs to recall the transmission since they are aware it is 'faulty'.

When driving this vehicle it will at times hesitate and stumble severely to the point where you will have to pull over. No check engine light or codes noted when scanned. Problem started right after vw tdi emissions fixes. Vw dealer claims no connection.
