Consumer Description

I RECENTLY HAD ISSUE WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER LEAKING AND FAILED, I RESEARCH THIS ONLINE TO SEE IF IWAS THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE VW TO RECALL THEIR VW PASSAT TDI FOR THEIR TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. THIS SHOULD NOT GO OUT FOR SOMETHING RIGHT AFTER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. SOME ALREADY HAS ISSUE WHEN IT WAS ONLY 51,000 MILES. HERE ARE SOME OF THE WEBSITE, WHICH REPORTED THE TC PROBLEM FROM INDIVIDUAL OWNERS LIKE MYSELF: HTTP://FORUMS.TDICLUB.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=307836 HTTP://WWW.PASSATWORLD.COM/FORUMS/68-B5-GARAGE/327420-GOT-P0741-TORQUE-CONVERTER-CLUTCH-CIRCUIT-CODE-MY-NEW-B5-5-TDI-PASSAT.HTML. *TR
