Consumer Description
GEARS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY, LOSES POWER TO WHERE I HAVE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I CAN'T ACCELERATE. THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF I AM NOT ABLE TO GET TO A SPOT TO PULL OVER TO. 01/ I HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTICS PERFORMED WHICH THEY ALL COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THAT IS NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THESE ARE THE CODES IT IS PUTTING OUT: P073A STUCK IN GEAR 5, P1731 GEARS POSITION DISTANCE SENSOR 3:ELECTRONIC ERROR, P1731C GEAR POSITION DISTANCE SENSOR 3:IMPLAUSIBLE SIGNAL AND P072B STUCK IN REVERSE. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JAN OF 2020. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON 2013-2014 JETTA HYBRIDS FOR THESE SAME PROBLEMS BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS
