Takata recall my car has had a weird shuttering in any gear when coasting at a regular speed. I took it to one dealer and they said nothing is wrong with it you basically just don't know how to shift. Two weeks later I noticed a soft muffled hush sound that reminded me of a rock in a tire. When looking underneath the car we noticed dark liquid coating the bottom cover. We took it to a different dealer and after hoisting it up they called us and said that the flywheel had sprung loose due to faulty torque and a spring sprung into the transmission causing a hole and rupturing it. They also mentioned that this same part had been replaced back in 2014 but we were unaware. Our thought is this has been an ongoing issue and whomever replaced it the first time did not do it properly because no one and nothing should be able to understand torque the bolts at the proper pressure. However I believe it has something to do with the overall mechanics of the flywheel and transmission and clutch combination. There is something faulty and has caused this to happen. This car was bought less than a year ago.

I started my car on 12/10/2011, during which it was around 28 degrees. A few seconds later, the car stalled. After starting it a second time, I drove the car to between 3-5 mph, at which time it stalled again. On the third try, I was able to keep the engine running, but the engine ran rough for the first few minutes. On January 4 following another bout of cold weather, the car's engine refused to start even after multiple attempts. It was towed to the dealership where they attempted to start it. According to the dealership, it started immediately. The dealership is currently looking into the issue. They believe the problem is related to the intercooler pipes freezing during cold temperatures. When it thaws, water enters the engine and hydrolocks it, preventing it from starting or stalling the engine if it is already running. This issue poses several safety risks, especially if the car stalls in the midst of high-speed traffic.

Sunroof on 2011 Volkswagen tdi exploded during morning commute at 65mph. Foreign object impact does not appear to be the cause. Outside temp was ~29F, no vehicles in close proximity, no overpasses. Continued driving as problem was apparent, but not getting worse after the initial boom! and shower of glass shards. Images available, took with my cell phone after arriving at my workplace. Dealer is covering under warranty, including provision of a rental car.
