problem #1

Jan 162004

(reported on)

Passat 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 300 miles
When coming to a complete stop or while cruising, the vehicle lurches forward. The dealer recalibrated the computer chip in the accelerator pedal and also replaced the transmission control module. After the repairs, the problem continued. The transmission made a clunk noise, malfunctioned in heavy traffic/highway, and a hard shift was present at times.
