Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY OF 2008. IT IS NOW AUGUST 23, 2008 AND IT IS GOING INTO THE SHOP THIS WEEK FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE MECHATRONIC UNIT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AS WELL AS THE CLUTCH PLATES. IT IS A 2008 JETTA WOLFSBURG EDITION 2.0T WITH THE DSG TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM IS A JERKY, SURGING FEELING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS WARMED UP. YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND IT STARTS TO JERK AS IF YOU'RE TAPPING THE GAS AND LETTING OFF. IT HAPPENS 2 OR 3 TIMES A DAY WHEN I DRIVE A LOT. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE. THE CAR WAS BUILT IN MAY 2008 AS FAR AS I KNOW, MEANING ITS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AS OF TODAY AUGUST 21, 2009. I CAN'T BELIEVE A CAR THAT HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT IS HAVING THESE MANY PROBLEMS. *TR
