Volkswagen Jetta 2007 Power Train Clutch AssemblyVolkswagen Jetta 2007 Power Train Clutch Assembly Review #10194213 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2007.VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2007, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY . default clutch failure, i have been watching this forum for a few days, ever since the 06 tdi jetta clutch stuck to the floor , oh yes another clutch pedal to the floor!. we were told at the dealership that it would be under warranty, same old thing customer abuse, $2700.00 later. replaced clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, and flywheel. i was shocked. we have had many transmission in the family with everyone driving and never a problem. this was our first volkswagen and probably our last unless volkswagen does the proper thing and reimburses us. anyways, after the shock i made them give me the old parts, plus core charge of $35.00, and did some research at transmission shops. as far as the shops were concerned there was no improper wear, no bluing, and as far as they could tell it was clutch failure from defective parts. after further research, early model clutches have been taken off the market and replaced with an newer style. this is a fact, even though the pressure plate and clutch only needed to be replaced volkswagen had to replace the flywheel at a cost of $1700.00. the dealership lied to me from the beginning saying that the new clutch came in a kit ,and the flywheel was apart of that kit. after talking to a parts representative they were all sold separately! so we are not done with this fight. volkswagen customer care was no help. basically, the dealer could make the call if it should be under warranty or not. we also found out that there were better after market clutches available. the cost for an outside shop was quoted at $1,0000.00 to replace parts and labor. i will keep an eye on this forum and keep you posted. ps: also, i posted a complaint at the nhtsa, that will be #16, yes canadians could post complaints there. good luck. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Jetta 2007 problem was reported in OKOTOKS, 00.

Volkswagen Jetta 2007 Power Train Automatic TransmissionVolkswagen Jetta 2007 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10281878 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2008.VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2007, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i own a 2007 volkswagen jetta gli with a 2.0t engine and a direct shift gearbox (dsg) transmission. at approximately 33,000 miles (in 12/2008), my dsg transmission failed while driving on a main 40mph road into my job. i lost power at about 20mph while turning left in front of oncoming traffic but was luckily able to coast into my works side roads to pull over. the loss of power was accompanied by the flashing of all transmission gear lights (prdns), which is typical of all dsg transmission failures from what i have read. vw completely replaced my transmission under warranty and never told me exactly which part of my dsg actually failed. they claimed that they simply remove the entire transmission and send it back to vw. there is a current recall for a small number of 08-09 dsg equipped cars, which was implemented because a faulty temperature sensor can cause the transmission to shift to neutral and all power would be lost, resulting in a dangerous situation. this power loss is what i experienced, and although my problem was likely unrelated to the current recall rationale, was dangerous to me nonetheless. i visit a vw enthusiast website where dsg failures on all model years are more commonplace than should be accepted. if this high failure transmission results in a dangerous condition, vw should remedy the problem by fixing all dsg models with updated components for all known commonly failing dsg components. at the very least, vw should also extend dsg warranties to 100,000 miles to cover repairs to this costly transmission. *tr.Mileage was 33000 miles.
