NHTSA Complaint #11044113 — 2007 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 2015, IT HAD 72K MILES THEN, NOW IT HAS 90K MILES. THE LAST 1 YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE JERKING WHEN IT WARMS UP ENOUGH ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET TO A STOP LIGHT AND START DRIVING, OFTEN TIMES THE ENGINE REVVS UP SO MUCH AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND AND THEN SETTLES DOWN. VW DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY KNOWING ABOUT THIS DEFECT UP TO 100K AND 6 YEARS WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS WHERE SEVERAL OF THE AFFECTED ARE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS FOR AUTO TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. NOT SURE WHY THIS WAS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL, SINCE THE GEAR GOES UP BY ITSELF OFTEN TIMES AS IF I MAY HIT THE VEHICLE ON THE FRONT. THE ISSUE IS WITH TRANSMISSION VALVE THAT VW AGREED IS FOUND DEFECTIVE. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE IT A RECALL IF THE PART IF FOUND DEFECTIVE. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND THE PARTS AND LABOR COSTS ABOUT 2K. THIS ISSUE HAS IMPACTED PRETTY MUCH ALL THE VEHICLES MADE DURING 2005 UNTIL 2007 OR 2008 AND IS AFFECTING ALL 2.5 ENGINES ESPECIALLY THE WULFSBURG EDITION WHICH IS ONE OF THE HIGH END IN THAT MODEL. APPRECIATE IF YOU GUYS HAVE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND DO THE NEEDFUL. THE PATTERN IS SUCH THAT THE VEHICLE RUNS JUST FINE WHEN JUST STARTED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, ONCE THE ENGINE WARMS UP THE VEHICLE WILL START ACTING UP, WHEN IN HIGH WAY WITH A STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR AT LOCAL ROADS. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP TO 4 OR 5 SUDDENLY, THERE IS A LOT OF HESITATION, I HAVE TO GIVE VERY LIGHT ACCELARATION IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE ON THE FRONT. IT BECOMES LIFE THREATENING OFTEN TIMES.
