• Recall 74195 [USA]: The abrupt shift to neutral could lead to a crash without warning.
  Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 passenger cars manufactured between september 2008 and august 2009. The wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the direct shift gearbox (dsg) may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped. With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to neutral. If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash. In addition, the "depress brake pedal" indicator light will be illuminated, alerting the driver to apply the brakes.
  volkswagen will reprogram the transmission control module with updated software free of charge. The recall began on october 20, 2009. Owners may contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
  vw recall no.37e3/s7 & audi recall no. 37e5/j7.Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov .

• Recall 2016629 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, a fault within the antilock brake system (abs) may cause the module to fail during abs and/or electronic stability control (esc) activation. This will cause warning lights for abs, brake and the esc systems to illuminate. If this happens, the brake system related vehicle stabilizing functions (abs/esc) may not be available, increasing the risk of a loss of vehicle control and could lead to a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will update the abs control module with improved diagnostic capability to detect insufficient pcu ground connection. Abs modules with insufficient ground connections will be replaced.

• Recall 2009249 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain audi a3, tt, tt roadster, and volkswagen eos, golf wagon, gti, jetta and jetta wagon equipped with a direct-shift gearbox (dsg), the wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the dsg may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped during assembly. As such, the temperature sensor could falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to the neutral position. A loss of propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will reprogram the transmission control module with updated software..

• Vehicle stall/loss motive power investigation # PE09035

  The subject vehicles are equipped with direct shift gearbox (dsg) transmissions, which feature a 6-speed automatic gearbox with two wet running clutches (dual clutch) in which the clutch mechanism and gear changes are electrohydraulically operated by a mechatronic control unit.The dsg mechatronic controller includes extensive self diagnostic functions and strategies to ensure safe operation and prevent system/component damage in the event of component failures or harsh operating conditions.The basic hierarchy of fault modes includes some that only result in the storage of a diagnostic trouble code (dtc) and cause no loss of function, some that store a dtc and reduce vehicle operation to a limp home mode, and some that store a dtc and cause an interruption of motive power (i.E., open clutch).The driver is alerted to the latter two modes by the dash gear position indicator (prnds) flashing. One of the conditions that results in interruption of motive power is excess gearbox temperature.The system initially responds to increased gearbox temperature by ramping down engine torque.If the temperature keeps rising the mechatronic unit responds by opening the clutch.In a defect information report submitted to nhtsa on august 20, 2009, volkswagen described a potential defect in the wiring harnesses of the dsg gearbox temperature sensors used in approximately 16,000 model year (my) 2009 and 2010 volkswagen (eos, jetta and gti) and audi (a3 and tt/tt roadster) vehicles equipped with dsg transmissions and built from september 2008 through august 2009 (nhtsa recall no. 09v-333, volkswagen recall no. 37e3/s7 and audi recall no 37e4/j7). Volkswagen provided this description of the defect, "the wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the dsg may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped by the connector supplier during a limited production period.With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to neutral.If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash.In addition, the depress brake pedal indicator light will be illuminated, alerting the driver to apply the brakes.In heavy traffic, the abrupt shift to neutral could lead to a crash without warning."volkswagen estimated that less than one percent of the recalled vehicles may contain the defect condition. Odi identified 40 complaints that appear to be related to the temperature sensor defect condition described by volkswagen.Volkswagen received 139 complaints related to the condition, with 7 involving vehicles reported to odi, resulting a 172 total complaints to odi and volkswagen.All of these complaints involve the my 2009 an 2010 vehicles subject to recall 09v-333. Odi also identified complaints of harsh/jerky shifting in some volkswagen vehicles with dsg.Volkswagen attributed this condition, which typically occurs at very low speeds, to excessive wear in the bushings of the two solenoid valves in the mechatronic unit that control clutch operation.Volkswagen does not believe that the this condition is a safety defect because the changes in shift quality develop gradually over time, do not cause a loss of motive power and have not resulted in any fatalities, injuries or serious crashes (there were three reported property damage incidents resulting in minor body damage in very low speed, parking maneuvers).Volkswagen addressed this problem in the field with a customer service program that includes the replacement of potentially affected mechatronic units as well as a 10 year/100,000 mile extended warranty.This investigation is closed with volkswagens recall of the defect condition that may result in a loss of motive power while driving.

After driving my car for five minutes, i heard a loud "pop" from the car's right side. I looked over and observed that my right side view mirror was black but still intact. When i pulled over and exited my car, i felt the mirror which felt to no longer be flat but warped in various spots. It is quite apparent the mirror overheated. My mirror function nob was not in the "heat" position and was set to the left side mirror position. My concern is that it could have started a fire. *tr

My car was affected by the 2017 recall for the abs module. I was driving around a corner and hit brakes to slow a little, the abs/traction control/steering light(s) came on and my brakes locked momentarily cause me to slide. I called local dealer to have the recall performed. The dealer stated(and vw america) that because they were unable to pull codes from the module i would need to pay to replace it myself and then they could perform the recall. This is complete and utter stupidity. The module was recalled due to failures. They should cover the complete cost to replace and recode. I was quoted 2100.00 my car only has 88,000 miles and well taken care of. *tr

Vehicle has a recall for the abs module, i took the car into the vw of murietta california dealer to get the recall taken care of on 1/11/20 and they claimed that they assumed that the module had already been done and they claimed to have contacted vw of america to clear the recall in the system. Then on 4/10/20 i took the vehicle to the same dealer for an unrelated issue and mentioned the still active recall, they then proceeded to tell me that the module was unable to be updated and that i would have to pay an estimate of $1800 to fix the recall. On 4/16/20 i called vw of america to which their response was that vw of murrieta did not have an open claim with them about my vehicle. *tr
