Consumer Description

THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND BUCKS ON FULL STOP AND TAKE OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED A VW DEALER AND GAVE ME A POSSIBLE FIX FOR 1800.92 BUT THIS MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT MAY ALSO NEED A NEW CLUTCH. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT VW IS AWARE OF BUT WILL NOT RECALL AND REPAIR. THIS COMPLAINT IS TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN AND SUGGEST THAT VW BE MADE TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY BEEN.
