“Before 60,000 miles car began to buck when accelerating and decelerating, by the time I brought it in for service it was 240 miles over warranty so they would not repair it. I was told clutch 1 and 2 reached there tolerance levels. When it first started happening, it did not appear to be anything, no indicator lights or warnings appeared on dash. It did not happen all the time and did not occur when maintaining speed.”

The dealership replaced the mechatronic (the same problem they had a recall for other VIN, not mine.) one year later, I was driving out of a neighborhood street from a stop sign, and when I took my foot off of the gas it drifted backwards, which it normally will not do. …”

“The braking ability varies depending if the battery is being charged or not. The pressure applied to the brake pedal depends on the battery charge and not the pressure on the pedal.

The engine will not warm up to operating temperature if the hybrid motor is engaged”

“The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid. The contact stated that while his sister was driving from a complete stop, the vehicle lost motive power.

The contact stated that he connected an OBD reader to the vehicle and retrieved diagnostic trouble codes related to the transmission and hydraulic pump play protection failure. …”
