I am writing to advise you of a potential safety issue with the design of the volkswagen jetta. I own a 2015 jetta. After a heavy rain, and usually after passing through standing water, the car loses power and stalls. This has happened on three occasions recently. I first took the car to my own mechanic, an experienced technician with a major repair franchise. He was unable to pinpoint the problem. When the problem…

Acceleration falls flat unexpectedly off the line. Ever since the re-program of the tdi affected vehicles the car will accelerate quickly at first when given good throttle (70%+), but then all of a sudden at 30-40mph or so it will totally fall flat all of a sudden, and dangerously so. It just completely loses power, and being a diesel, it decelerates fairly quickly. I have had numerous times where it's happened, so…

The problem is the clutch failure in the 6 speed transmission.. This is the second time the clutch has failed, preventing the car going into gear. It left us stranded. This was accompanied by a slight burning odor. We feel this leaves us in danger and is a safety hazard. We hesitate to drive it on any long trip. Vw warrants the car for 3 years or 36,000 miles. The warranty states that clutch replacement due to wear…

My new 2015 vw jetta had 3 clutch failures. This occurred on highways in sc, nc and wva in 2015,2016and 2017. Each time it was towed to a vw dealer who repaired the clutch system. The fix did not work. Each time there was danger from possible an accident. I am afraid to drive this vehicle any more. I am 81 years old and have owned 6 vehicles with standard transmission and had never had a problem with any of those…
