2005 Volkswagen Jetta Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Tugging occurs, but rarely. The car drives smoothly but will do a bit of a tugging. It had this problem for a while ever since it was purchased back in 2015 it was worse at those times but fixed throughout the years. I've invested major money to get the transmission, motor, and so on of what the mechanic has told me of the problems the car has had fixed.”

“I wrote to you about a month ago about recalling the 2005 Jetta. Nothing came out of it. It is my firm belief that there is something wrong with the transmission. Google the problems with the 2005 Jetta and you will see tons about complaints regarding their transmission woes. Please be objective in your investigation.”

“I have a vw Jetta 2005 that has the 2.5 engine. For the last three months, the automatic transmission has started shifting gears by itself in hard shifts, mostly from 1st to 2nd at odd times. I was told this was a known problem in the vws and required a transmission rebuild. (I've heard that a number of time). I had to have the transmission rebuilt at a cost of $4,000 to end the problem.”

“I have an early model mkv tdi Jetta , with around 87,000 miles on it. Yesterday, on the way home, the dsg dual mass flywheel let go with pieces of metal coming out onto the road and traffic. I looked up this on the tdiclub site and found numerous issues with this part in early production, which is not part of maintenance. Is there a safety recall or other TSB on this? I cant drive the car and just made it home. It was scarey.”

“Hard shifting, it hard shifts and it keeps getting worse. I was told it was the valve body but Volkswagen does not want to pay for it because it is a few miles over the 100,000 mile warranty when I have read many things saying that Volkswagen was having problems with the valve body.”
