POWER TRAINELECTRICAL SYSTEMUNKNOWN OR OTHER
The car has been jerking when you’re driving and sometimes it jerks forward as you’re parking it while it’s in the parked position. Then I’m driving home from work , it’s raining heavy. I get to the Valaro store by my house; I put $40.00 worth of gas in the car after work drove home parked the car the next morning it would not turn over , would not ignite at all I took it to the shop. They said the computer was fried from the rain leaking through the windshield or under the windshield. They said it’s a major problem with this model car. The mechanic said the computer could not be fixed. He sent it to the Volkswagen repair shop it can’t be fixed and to replace it cost thousands of dollars !!! I can provide an estimate of the problems and possible repairs if needed . The mechanic stated it is not worth the cost to fix the car. I did notice that there is a powertrain recall and my mechanic is also stating that the transmission is the jerking problem we’re having.. I really think these should be recalled however I needed to submit my issues and see what you final decision would be on both situations, the powertrain transmission problem and the computer burnout problem thank you so much and hope you’re having a great day

SEAT BELTSUNKNOWN OR OTHERENGINE
AFTER GOING TO THE MECHANICS AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS EXPECTING ALL THE PROBLEMS TO BE GONE BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE JOLTING WHEN I ACCELERATE IS STILL THERE. ITS A VERY HARSH JOLT FORWARD ROUGHLY WHEN ITS GOING TO SECOND GEAR, THE RPMS GO TO 4K THEN JUMP DOWN TO 2K AND IT DOES THAT FOR A WHILE. FOR EXAMPLE I'LL BE DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL DO A HARSH JOLT FORWARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT WHEN ACCELERATING OR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO AT A STEADY SPEED. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE SEATBELTS ARE NOT RETRACTABLE ANYMORE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. WHEN I WOULD TURN OFF THE CAR THE GAS WOULD BE REGURGITATED BACK AS IF THE CAR WAS ON AS IT'S COMPLETELY OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM BUT WATER GETS IN THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS AND THE CARPETS WILL BE COMPLETELY SOAKED AND IT'LL SMELL LIKE MOLD, WE HAVE TRIED TO FIX IT AND MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND THEY ARE CLUELESS TOO.
