Problems with 2007 Volkswagen Jetta EQUIPMENT

Poor obd on 2007 vw jetta for engine speed sensor. [xxx] is the vin of the car, recently the engine begin to stall/die soon after starting, unable to hold the idle speed but there was no mil/check engine light, upon several attempts it used to run fine it continued for several weeks. one fine day my wife and 2.5 month baby were driving on i-75 south to detroit downtown and car stopped in the middle of the freeway- it just stopped for no reason no mil or check engine light even after these events. it came back up running again after she was able to start the engine again. on the same day while she was driving back from the office it stopped while getting out of the parking lot again no check engine light. it was the scariest day, we towed the car back home even though it was starting again due to the fact that there was something seriously wrong with the vehicle. on 25th march 2011 i started the car in the morning then i saw the check engine light on dash board for the first time, and dropped it off at fox automotive dealer in rochester hills mi. where they were not courteous in dealing with this problem, and found the engine speed sensor [crank angle sensor] was found broken, replacement of the same seem to have resolved the issue. however the main concern is the obd did not work when it saw several misfires and engine speed issues, which could have prevented my wife and baby not to drive to work on freeway, this is a serious concern. it is essential that vw dealer should also address such serious issues with some concern and importance where they did not give any opportunity for me to drop off the vehicle for repair the same day i towed the vehicle back from my wife's office, after few days of gap i was able to drop the vehicle where they worked on it after few days of wait time, they even recommended me to drive back the car with check engine light if i need vehicle the same day or early. i request the usa gov.'t to look into this matter immediately. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of informatio

The car began to have jerky shifts and then began lurching at slow speeds in first. in certain cases the gear would grab and then let go allowing the car to suddenly roll backwards on hills. the mechatronics unit was replaced after 35000 miles and then the second unit lasted for 1300 miles. i am now waiting for my second replacement unit. note this is a jetta gli with 2.0t and 6 speed dsg transmission. *tr

Purchased new vehicle 07/21/07 and on 12/09/08 i had to have the rear brakes and rotors replaced on my new 2007 vw jetta with less than 16,000 miles on it! this is my 4th vw and i have never experienced this issue so soon before. my previous vw that i've brought to the same dealer for the last 8 years never had this issue. i find it inappropriate for vw to sell me a vehicle with sub standard parts that requires a lot of money to replace - with no disclaimer. i've come to expect better quality from vw. which was the main reason as to why i purchased a new vehicle from vw again. to add, i'll have to go through this again every 15,000 miles or so. it is not a breaking habit as my prior records with vw will show that is not the case. while customer. *tr

Air bag light comes on and stays on in the vehicle until engine is stopped. this has been going on since i purchased the vehicle back in july of 2007. they've reset the codes, replaced the seatbelt buckle and reset the connectors that have something to do with the airbags and nothing has worked. i've taken it back to the original dealer (where i purchased the car) four times for the same problem and it's still not fixed. i've called volkswagen of america about this problem and they've done nothing. they suggested i bring it back to the dealership. *tr
