Consumer Description

AFTER REPLACING THE CAM SHAFT AND TIMING BELT I TOOK THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE. THE PROBLEMS WERE APPARENT, A HARD SHIFT FROM A STOP INTO FIRST GEAR AND HARD SHIFTS ALL THE WAY TO 4TH GEAR. FROM A FULL STOP IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR AND IF IT DOES IT JOLTS. MULTIPLE TIMES CROSSING TRAFFIC THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT RESPOND, AND I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT MULTIPLE TIMES. I BROUGHT IT INTO A SERVICE SHOP AND THEY HAVE SAID IT IS THE MECHATRONICS UNIT THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT IS AN ISSUE IN MANY VEHICLES LIKE MINE, AND TO REPORT IT TO NHTSA AND VOLKSWAGEN. *TR
