Consumer Description

CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY VALVE IN THE TRANSMISSION ON MY JETTA. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PART THAT ENDED IN 2012. I AM EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR NOW AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY CAR SHIFTS SO HARD BETWEEN 1ST AND 4TH GEAR AND WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT LAG TIME BETWEEN ACCELERATION WHICH DURING TRAFFIC, CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. VW WON'T OFFER ANY REIMBURSEMENT TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY HOWEVER I THINK IT IS RIDICULOUS WHEN THEY KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE PART IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO NOW I AM STUCK PAYING ANOTHER $1,500 REPAIR BILL FOR THIS CAR IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER REPAIRS I HAVE PAID FOR. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE NOW EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE END DATE AS I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS BODY SHOPS AND DEALERSHIPS WHO HAVE SHARED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
