POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 AND 2010 PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2008 AND AUGUST 2009. THE WIRING HARNESS OF A TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE DIRECT SHIFT GEARBOX (DSG) MAY HAVE CONNECTOR WIRES THAT WERE INSUFFICIENTLY CRIMPED. WITH INSUFFICIENTLY CRIMPED CONNECTOR WIRES, A TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO FALSELY DETECT A HIGH GEARBOX OIL TEMPERATURE, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO ABRUPTLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE SELECTOR LEVER POSITION INDICATOR WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL FLASH. IN ADDITION, THE "DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL" INDICATOR LIGHT WILL BE ILLUMINATED, ALERTING THE DRIVER TO APPLY THE BRAKES.

VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2010 AUDI A3, TT, AND TT ROADSTER PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 AND AUGUST 26, 2009. THE CLOSING FORCE OF AN INTERNAL SPRING OF THE FUEL TANK VENTILATION VALVE IS NOT ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO HOLD THE VALVE CLOSED UNDER EXTREME DRIVING CONDITIONS POSSIBLY ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK.

HAD ISSUES WITH THE REAR TAILLIGHTS GROUNDING ISSUE CAUSING THE GROUND IN THE CONNECTOR TO MELT AND SHORT OUT CAUSING THE TAILLIGHT TO NO LONGER WORK. THIS WAS AN ISSUE FIRST ON THE DRIVER SIDE THEN THE OTHER 6 MONTHS LATER. BOTH REPAIRED LOCALLY BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL GROUND WIRE AND REPLACING THE CONNECTORS.

I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, MOST RECENTLY WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE FROM DRIVE, THE DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING AND IT LOST ALL POWER AS IF IT WERE DISENGAGED OR IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A DEALER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MY VIN ( CAMPAIGN 09V333000), BUT THAT IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP, WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE.

CLUNK AND NOISE FROM DSG TRANSMISSION WHEN ACCELERATE FROM STOP IN D POSITION OR FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR FOR SLOWING DOWN. I THINK IT IS MECHATRONIC ISSUES FOR THOSE YEAR VW AUDI DSGS. IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY BUT STILL CAN BE COVERED BY RECALL?

VISIBILITY/WIPER

A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SPROCKET IN THE PULLEY ASSEMBLY CAUSED THE WINDOW TO JAM IN A HALFWAY OPEN POSITION WHICH CAUSED A DANGEROUS VISILIBILITY CONDITION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN A SNOWSTORM. THE VEHICLE WAS LITERALLY APPROXIMATELY 36 HOURS PAST THE TIME DURATION OF THE FACTORY STANDARD WARRANTY PERIOD THEREFORE AUDI REFUSED TO ASSUME LIABILITY FOR THE WINDOW PULLEY ASSEMBLY'S FAILURE. *TR

THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE DURING THE DAY. DURING THE EVENING I WAS MANEUVERING THE CAR TO PARK. WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, THE PRNDS INDICATORS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY OF THE GEARS WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR OFF TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE MECHATRONICS UNIT OF THE CAR. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO A LOW LEVEL OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME AND THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP A WEEK LATER. I AM SCHEDULED TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN THIS COMING WEEK. IT IS AN ISSUE WITH AN AUDI DSG TRANSMISSION. *TR

I BOUGHT A CPO 2009 AUDI TT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD NOT FIND A GEAR. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE RESTARTED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE . I TOLD THE MECHANIC AT MY 6000 MILE CHECK THAT THE CAR WAS NOT FINDING A GEAR WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. HE THEN SAID THAT ALL THE READINGS FROM THE CAR DID NOT SHOW AN ISSUE. AT MY 16000 MILE SERVICE AGAIN TOLD THE REP THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. HE AGAIN STATED NO ERRORS FOUND. THEN AT 19000 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE KIND OF HARSH AT LOW SPEEDS AND I WAS EXPERIENCING THE FLASHING LIGHTS OF PNRDS MORE OFTEN AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK WHEN SWITCHING TO REVERSE. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DESCRIBED THE ISSUE AGAIN TO MY SERVICE GUY. HE SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. COME TO FIND OUT THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE UNIT AND I WOULD NOT RECEIVE MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. I PICKED UP MY CAR VERIFIED WITH SERVICE REP THE CAR WAS IN GOOD STANDING WITH WARRANTY RECALLS HE ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THE ISSUE HAD BEEN CORRECTED. I HAD THE CAR FOR NO MORE THAN 12 HOURS BEFORE THE FLASH OF DEATH PNRDS APPEARED EXCEPT THIS TIME I ALMOST ROLLED INTO A CAR WHILE PARKING. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE REP TO DISCUSS THAT THIS IS SOME BS. SO I TOOK THE CAR IN AND HE SAID SOME BS HOW HE TOOK THE CAR TO SOME AUDI CAR MAINTENANCE GUY AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION ADDITION, I NOTICED THAT WHEN MOVING THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK THAT WAS A DOUBLE CLICKING SOUND AND WHAT CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED A DOUBLE LURCHING OF THE CAR WHEN GOING TO DRIVE. SO AUDI RELEASED A CAR THEY SAID WAS FINE AND IT DIDN'T WORK PAST 12 HOURS. I AM OVER AUDI. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS HAVING THEM BUY BACK THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR A MONTH. PAY 45K FOR A CAR IT SHOULD WORK FOR MORE THE 19K MILES. *TR
