In motion: The transmission is not properly shifting up. There is delay, therefore the car is 'jumping' before the higher level of gear automatically shift. This problem last for about 4 months in motion: The use of fuel is much higher than used to be, even all injectors are properly working. This problem is now about 5 months old. The rear door - its latch broke in November 2014. The door felt on my head. Contacting VW usa - I was told that the repair has to be done by VW dealer.. VW dealer made me a quote of $ 3.5 K which I rejected. Since that time I am carrying in car board of wood and using it for support of open door.

Was in a tight spot at a parking lot, when I was backing up I hit a barrier behind me, after stopping and shifting to go forward, the car sped up uncontrollably until it crashed into a wall in front. The space and time was very small/short, but the force was so rapid that the airbags were deployed.
