For over a year, my car was having hesitation issues. I kept calling my dealer and going in for regular service. At one point, my car started but then turned off two times. I kept getting different stories..."unable to replicate", "a faulty valve, code p2004." on my way to work 2/23/16, my car lost power on acceleration. The check engine light and the coil (tdi) light came on. I pulled over and turned off the car and waited. Then started the car again, began driving, and it happened again. I called the tow truck. Dealer service manager (fitzgerald - andrew) gave me the run around -- telling me that I put contaminated fuel in my car. I called sunoco and my, geico, immediately. The most upsetting part of all of this was how andrew approached the problem, exaggerated my involvement in it and arrogantly used his position to show blame to me -- never explaining this is an extended recall and why! I am now getting my fuel pump fixed under the warranty. But.... This should be a recall now. I know that this problem was on-going for me for a whole year, and I believe that it has damaged my car, and I cannot prove this. Please save other owners and recall this part.

Since purchasing this vehicle new almost 3 years ago, it has very occasionally exhibited a hesitation during acceleration from a stop. It is a tdi version with the automated manual dsg transmission. Up till now, it has been impossible to induce on command, making it very difficult for the two dealerships that have examined it to identify the problem. Each time this has occurred, it seems to follow a very brief acceleration, as though you are starting to move into traffic and then back off the throttle for an instant before reapplying the throttle. As you step back into the throttle, there is no change in engine speed for about three seconds, regardless of pedal position - it just continues to idle until it finally responds normally. Since this usually occurs when making a left turn in front of oncoming traffic or merging from a driveway, the three seconds of delay during which you roll forward can be very dangerous.

The vehicle tends to stutter, lurch, or hesitate at low speeds. This has caused several dangerous situations when attempting to accelerate into another lane or onto the road from a driveway. The dealer has informed me that this is normal behavior for thedsg transmission and there is no fix. An internet search shows that many other drivers have experienced this problem. I cannot believe that this is "normal" performance, and I am concerned about it.

I went on a road trip prior to this visit, and had a scary issue with my car where it hesitated several times while driving, it was hesitating like it was out of gas but I just filled it up with of course the recommended gas which is diesel. After a couple of minutes it stopped, which I found to be unusual cause its to new to be doing this. Then I started to hear and notice that unusual noise coming from the front driver side of my car again but a little louder than before, it was annoying me so bad. I was hearing a constant rumbling, grinding noise while driving, the rougher the road the louder the noise, when I hit a bump the noise went with the bump, the smoother the road it was less loud but still there. I took it to vw and they had told me they scanned it and found no faults with the hesitation issue, than I took a ride with a technician who did hear the noise I was hearing, the technician even noted it on my papers. We then took out a similar vehicle but I could not hear the same noise, so the technician advised me to take it back again if it gets worse. I had told the technician it is not normal, no new car should be making these noises. Not to mention the person who had sold the car to me never thanked me for the purchase as well as told me to never talk to him again, when all I was trying to do was to get some help from him, but he had treated me like garbage and made me fend for my own. On this visit they had supposedly done a multipoint inspection on my vehicle, and once again stated everything to be normal, nothing stating about my tires.

I purchased my car 1 year ago has approximately 27k on it now bought it with 1000 miles on it after a month after purchasing my vehicle I started in some wobbling rumbling noises coming from the left front of my car I took up a drive with the technician the technician heard the sound they had my car for four days didn't even give me a loaner and I missed school because so. After 4 days they came up with no conclusion he told me to bring it back when it gets worse I brought my car back several times and after everything look for the fifth time they told me that my tires are feathering I was wondering why they tell me that now I'm not after the first two times. I then took it to the tire dealership and several other second party dealerships when they told me my tires are fine along with one of the volkswagen dealerships. I am now having performance issues with my excelerator hesitated it seems like it's gurgling and seeming to have troubles accelerating now. My miles per gallon has dropped from 42 to 38. I am here in a whoooing noise when I'm returning the wheel all the way right and reversing and it's coming from the left side left front side where the original noise was, vw told me it's normal. I'm also hearing the same issues must like everybody else's with this car with accelerating I'm hearing weird cranking noise through the AC vent which is a normal at high RPM's. Just recently I had a put my foot all the way down to the four with my brakes to stop the car and I don't know why. I'm also hearing the same issues like everybody else with my windows it's really not loud and noisy after about 50 MPH. The dealership is yet to come up with clear answer to my issues they just told me to buy tires and they weren't even sure if the new tires would fix the issue or not. They also tell me I won't be covered in the future if something happens. Vw needs to be investigate.

On 9 march 2012, I bought a vw tdi jetta sportswagen with automatic transmission. From the time I took possession of the vehicle, the transmission bucked, hesitated, and lunged. I took the car back to the dealership on 26 april to have it examined, but they said that it was ?normal? And there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I told them that if that was normal, I was surprised that anyone would want to buy one. After 2 months of this, I took the car back and exchanged it for one with a manual transmission. I believe the so-called automatic transmission (which is really a manual transmission with 2 clutches controlled by a computer) is inherently dangerous.
