Tl* the contact owns a 2014 volkswagen jetta. while driving 10 mph, the contact heard a clunking noise coming from the front driver's side of the vehicle. the contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and noticed that the front driver's side wheel was bent outwards and the lower control arm was detached. in addition, each time the vehicle drove over a bump in the road, the clunking noise would occur. the vehicle was towed to brandon volkswagen (located at 9816 e adamo dr, tampa, fl 33619, (813) 630-4000). the technician informed the contact that the driveshaft, tie rod, shock absorber and control arm needed to be replaced due to corrosion. the vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees and the extended warranty, which would not cover the repairs. the vehicle was later towed to reeves volkswagen (located at 11337 n florida ave, tampa, fl 33612, (813) 935-3354) for a second opinion. the dealer diagnosed that the front driver side lower control arm was detached due to corrosion and the front passenger side and rear control arm were heavily corroded and the subframe needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures and provided case number: 190467342. the approximate failure mileage was 33,009.

I have a 2014 gli autobahn with the paddle shifters and the sports mode option. today i engaged the sports mode option and the vehicle's rpm were almost redlining but it will take awhile to feel the shifting on the trans. i am worried that this may be a problem to the trans on this vehicle. the second problem that i am having i believe is the suspension due to the smoothness of the vehicle is no longer their. i have not taken the vehicle to the dealership yet but will soon. please advise if any others have complained about the same issues that i am having. thanks. *tr
