What owners wrote
Been to multiple dealerships claiming in fox valley il rockford il glenview il that either my mechunit is bad/faulty or dual mass flywheel is bad/faulty. Was driving where either my car would shift very rough as if someone who is very inexperienced would let go of the clutch late and shift hard/rough into 1-2-3 with clicking noises. Car just recently shifted from 2 to neutral and scared the crapout of me. The car has extreme vibration and uncontrolled shift patterns.
My jetta would stall and we were almost involved in serious accidents. We brought it to dealer and they told us it was fixed and it happened again. I asked for a replacement and they refused. Problem has not occurred recently, however we were almost killed. Unsure of dates, however dealer has records.
