Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2011 JETTA SE 2.5L AUTO PZEV AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR OUTSIDE FROM MY HOUSE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON WITH NO REASON. I PASSED THE SCANNER AND THREW THE CODE P0106. THE CAR WOULD DRIVE WELL, BUT WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE AND PRESS GAS, THE CAR WOULDN'T REACT RIGHT AWAY, IT WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND KICK-IN I SECOND GEAR. THEN THE GEARS INDICATOR (PRND123) DISAPPEARS. I CHANGED THE MAP SENSOR AND WORKS GOOD FOR 3 OR 4 DAY. AFTER THIS THE PROBLEM RETURNS. I SAW A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FROM VOLKSWAGEN COMPANY AND THIS BULLETIN SAYS THAT THE CAR NEEDS AN UPDATE PROGRAMMING. I CALLED TO MY CONCESSIONARY AND THEY SAYS THAT I MUST TO PAY, FIRST FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, AND SECOND FOR THIS UPDATE. I HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING ABOUT THIS TROUBLE AND TOO MANY OWNERS OF VOLKSWAGEN VEHICLES PRESENTS THIS FAULT, INCLUDING USA AND MEXICO. I GUESS THAT VOLKSWAGEN MUST CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITH NO CHARGE. ATTACHED THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN 2034012 FROM VOLKSWAGEN.
