We had it for a year and the Transmission went out and Larry Miller Argued with me it was not under warranty.

I had to call Car Fax and Found out that their dealer in California wrecked it an didn't tell anyone about this..

Keep my car for 2 weeks.

Jetta Comfortline 2.0L Tdi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles

It's been happening since new. I slow down for a stoplight or stop sign and the car lurches as if someone is pulling it back and then pushing it forward. Then if I'm cruising in a low gear such as 30km/h in 3rd, it will buck even if I'm not accelerating or decelerating. It will cause discomfort to me and passengers. It's super annoying because this car is not smooth at all and it needs to be fixed!
