2010 VOLKSWAGEN GTI Complaints

DSG AUTOMATIC TRANS HAS GIVEN ME SEVERAL MINOR BUT ONE SCARY PROBLEM SINCE HAVING VEHICLE LESS THAN ONE YEAR. ON ANY COLDER MORNING 50 DEGREES OR BELOW THE VEHICLE WILL DRAMATICALLY LEAP FORWARD UPON ACCELERATION. ITS AS IF IT DOESN'T SEEM TO SHIFT PROPERLY THEN STARTS WORKING BETTER AFTER IT WARMS UP. THIS MARCH I EXPERIENCED A MUCH SCARIER SITUATION. I WAS DRIVING CLOSE TO HOME WHEN SOMEBODY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BUT THE CAR ACTED VERY STRANGE AFTER I STARTED MOVING AGAIN. THE ONLY WAS TO DESCRIBE IT IS THAT THE CAR WAS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR FOR A BLOCK OR SO THE ENGINE WAS REVVING VERY HIGH AND CAR WOULDN'T GO VERY FAST AT ALL. AFTER A BLOCK OR SO IN FINALLY STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW ONCE FOR 60 DAY AND ALSO THE 10K SERVICE. VW HAS STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER SO THEREFORE THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER ALL CODES ARE REGISTERED ON THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DISPLAY. VW NEEDS TO ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND FIX THIS SITUATION. IF YOU READ THIS AND HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO FILL THIS OUT SO VW IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PROBLEMS ON ALL DSG TRANSMISSIONS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO BE EXPERIENCING. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW WASHER NOZZLE LEAKS UPON ACCELERATION, DECREASING VISIBILITY. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS WARM OUTSIDE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. THERE WAS A TSB TO INSTALL A CHECK VALVE, WHICH DIDNT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND THE HOSE WAS FURTHER SHORTENED AND IT ALSO DIDNT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

JERKY, HALTING TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT /DISENGAGEMENT IN FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. CAUSED A REAR-END ACCIDENT WITH ONLY 343 MILES ON THE CAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS ME BUT I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE. *TR

VW GTI 2010 DSG AUTO TRANSMISSION LOSS OF POWER. 8 MONTHS WITH VEHICLE, HAD 5 EMERGENCIES ON INTERSECTION CROSS, THE GTI WILL INCREASE ENGINE REVOLUTION BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS, THEN IT WILL LAUNCH ALMOST BURNING TIRES. NOW THE CAR STARTED TO ACT THE SAME WAY WHEN YOU ARE SHIFTING DOWN FROM 5 TO 4 OR FROM 4 TO 3RD GEAR, IT LOOSES POWER FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS BEFORE IT PICKS UP POWER AGAIN. THIS SITUATION HAS PUT ME AND FAMILY INTO SERIOUS HAZARD IN A HIGHWAY. HOPE VW WILL RESOLVE THIS ISSUE SOON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN GTI. HE COULD HEAR A BUZZING NOISE BETWEEN 2000 RPM AND 3000 RPM WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED AND THE NOISE CONTINUES ALL DURING DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO MAKE NOISE AND THAT IS PART OF THE DESIGN TO ENHANCE THE SOUND WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THE SAME INFORMATION, STATING THAT THE SOUND WAS NORMAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,800. UPDATED 11/16/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED VW DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIX IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND THERE IS STILL A RATTLE IN THE ENGINE.
