| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My transmission on a 2004 passat wagon all wheel drive (v6) engine slips and startles me very frequently. when the vehicle is slowed down it bucks violently as if i was rear ended by another vehicle. so far, volkswagon gave me a replacement car (since it was a brand new car). however, the replacement car is doing the very same thing. this problem is potentially dangerous because it feels as if you're being rear ended. also, it creates a potential danger on the roads. volkswagon originally said it was the all wheel drive (but this is simply not the case). now, they're saying the transmission needs to be "flashed"? i will be filing a lemon law complaint against the company. i fear that many other vehicles have the same problem and they're being ignored or swept under the carpet. i would really hope that someone in your organization would investigate this complaint and will bring this potentially serious problem to the attention of volkswagon. at at minimum perhaps, they should recall these vehicles and send out a notice to owners of this vehicle type. please plead my cause with vigor and determination. sincerely, david deboskey *la |
