Noticed very rough idle. Dealer diagnosed manual transmission flywheel malfunctioning without visual inspection. The fault was placed with me. Wear and tear. Dealer claimed must fix, not safe to drive, quoted $2100. If this problem is allowed to worsen, the failure mode is a complete clutch failure and on a busy freeway is a serious safety issue. I went to a third party garage and paid $1200 for a more reliable…

Volkswagen jetta tdi - vw refused to honor the warranty of a defective clutch/flywheel issue. This is a very common occurance apparently. I learned of this when i went online to do some research about the problem. Volkswagen is honoring the warranties in europe with the same issue but ignoring its quality / safety issue here in the us. The defective clutch / flywheel issue can cause serious injury and or death when…

I also noticed that none of the gears in the transmission would sync and allow me into them. I pulled off to the side of the road, when i realesed my foot from the clutch, the pedal did…

In january something broke off from the transmission and killed the entire engine. It got a new engine and a new transmission. That has led to a slew of other different problems from minor rattles to dangerous exhaust leaks and oil leaks. Corporate vw was only able to give me two months credit on my loan which from reading everywhere is just their way of getting us to shut up. Now my rear brakes are metal to metal…

I had a 2006 vw jetta tdi. My wife was on her way to work when she went to take off from a stop sign and the clutch stuck to the floor as the car sat in the middle of the intersection. As all the rest of the complaints go with this car the dealer paid for the parts and i had to pay $1000 dollars of labor. Within the 2 weeks our car was in this dealer 3 other 2006 jetta tdi came in with the same problem. It wasn't a…
