So inside of my vehicle I am unable to open my trunk by flipping the trunk switch. My left passenger door is unable to function properly. The windows won't toll down, the door is unable to lock and it's stressful because my car got broken into because of it. My right mirror turn signal doesn't function any more when I signal right it signals really fast and it's only signals using my headlight and tail light signals. Sometimes there is a kick to my car when I'm driving and in a couple of occasion when I start my vehicle my car revs up on it's own. Just a bunch of issues it's stressful..

Throttle lag either in start or moving from 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 4th to 5th to 6th. Felt more strong when using the tiptronic transmission in automatic. Also felt in manual but not as strongly, vehicle does not move when pedal depressed until approximately 10 to 20 seconds after applying pressure. Creates a dangerous situation when turning into or onto a street or highway. The expectation is the car will move, but response is slow. This is more noticeable as the weather gets warmer.

Takata recall. I was driving on a speed limit of 35mph when my vehicle shifted down to first gear and my prnds indicators started blinking, it would shift to second gear after that. Later on called my friend and he dose not know the exact problem but he said it is a limp mode car, what ever that means. Good thing I just got off a highway and couple mins it happened. Thank you jesus! the car is 2006 Volkswagen Jetta tdi 1.9L.

The vehicle has a long history of the throttle becoming inoperative resulting in no-power (idle power strictly speaking) conditions. That condition is cleared when the clutch pedal is depressed and released. Recently there was an instance of uncommanded acceleration: Instead of no power, full power was applied by the engine. Again cycling the clutch cleared the condition. The no-power cases appeared more likely in urban driving and soon after a transmission shift but did occur under almost any conditions. The full-power case occurred once, climbing a hill at ~2800' altitude. The power fail occurred as early as 34K miles, and continued with VW's knowledge until ~72K miles, when VW of America technicians finally did something to end it. Those symptoms started recurring at ~270K miles. The acceleration incident occurred at about 275K miles. The vehicle has been taken out of service; it will be sent to a salvage yard if the ntsb is not interested in the vehicle.

Been to multiple dealerships claiming in fox valley il rockford il glenview il that either my mechunit is bad/faulty or dual mass flywheel is bad/faulty. Was driving where either my car would shift very rough as if someone who is very inexperienced would let go of the clutch late and shift hard/rough into 1-2-3 with clicking noises. Car just recently shifted from 2 to neutral and scared the crapout of me. The car has extreme vibration and uncontrolled shift patterns. Was turning onto my street and car went from 3-2 to neutral while my car was still in drive and went into a snow bank on side of road. Would just like to have Volkswagen contact me to either replace or fix this problem. This is very dangerous owners of a 2006 VW tdi or any automatic with dsg mechunit beware and please be careful.

While traveling on interstate 4 at 65 mph the automatic transmission went from drive to second gear by itself even though the gear selector was in drive, nearly putting me through the windshield had I not had my seat belt on. I managed to get onto the burm of the highway and stop. At this point transmission fluid was dumping all over the road and the car would no longer move and the digital gear selection light was flashing on and off continuous(prnd). Had it towed to my VW mechanic and they found that the electronic valve assembly had quit working and that the mech tronic clutch assembly was destroyed by it going from drive to 2nd. After researching on the internet, I found that VW has known about this problem and has sent out letters to customers that have 2007-2010 vehicles with this same transmission that they would replace their defective transmissions under an extended warranty or re-imburse them for repairs if done prior to this letter up to 100000 miles. I contacted VW usa and asked about my car and was told because my car was a 2006 it wasn't covered even though I got them to admit that it was the same transmission that was used for 2005.5 through 2010.

My Jetta would stall and we were almost involved in serious accidents. We brought it to dealer and they told us it was fixed and it happened again. I asked for a replacement and they refused. Problem has not occurred recently, however we were almost killed. Unsure of dates, however dealer has records.

2006 Volkswagen Jetta 54000 miles 5 speed manual transmission. I was driving and while exiting a freeway offramp I depressed the clutch to disengage the transmission. Clutch pedal went to the floor and would not come back up and it did not disengage the transmission. The car would not stop, as I could not put the car in neutral. Very dangerous!

I purchased a 2006 Jetta tdi and my miles are off....it seems as though everyone I talk to with this car have the same problem. I am going 3-5 miles slower then what it is showing. I was thinking over time when I have driven 55,000 miles that I have only driven 50,000. I think this is wrong for a company to do and VW will not do a thing about it.

The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving 50 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to decelerate. She shifted into neutral in order to slow down the vehicle. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The current mileage was 14,000 and failure mileage was 12,000.

The car jumps into gear and lurches because of a hydraulic brake switch in the master cylinder that appears to tick or be delayed in transmitting the on /ff signal to the accelerator circuit which during the delay appears unresponsive as it is designed not to alow accellerating in gear while the brake is on. When the brake switch turns off, delayed up to 5 seconds, the car lurches forward as the driver expects that the accelerator is not working and keeps preassing on the gas. This lurch is very unsagfe and caused by a sticky or delayed brake switch. I have had the switch replaced once already but all of the switches appear to behave in the same unsafe, delayed manner. To reproduce the delay, put an automatic transmission 2006 Jetta tdi into drive and watch the "foot on brake" indicator on the dashborad turn off 1-5 seconds after the foot is taken off the brake.

Speedometer reads 10 to 15 percent high. At 65 mph the speedometer reads 73 mph. Dealer stated this is a common problem with Jetta's and they were unable to correct.

- Austin, TX, USA

Unable to determine actual vehicle speed. Speedometer off by at least 5 mph. Factory considers this normal. Traffic flow may or may not be according to safe driving conditions and without accurate instrument driver unable to make a safe speed judgment.

Speedometer displays 3-5 mph slower speed than actual. Technical service bulletin from manufacturer tt-06-19 says its by design. Problems causes cars to pass creating safety concern.

I purchased a 2006 VW Jetta (diesel) that has a 3-5 mph speedometer error in the driver's analog display. The displayed speed is lower than actual. This has caused numerous cars to pass me. This is a potential safety concern. I was told by the manufacturer that this working as designed. I installed a scan tool on the car and it reads the correct speed, while the analog display is reading 3-5 mph slower than actual. The manufacturer claims that the analog display is set for differing tire sizes.
