Mine was downshifting very rough from 3-2 and 2-1 and when coming to a stop, it would almost stall out. I took it to VW to get it checked out. They called and told me that there was nothing wrong with it (after they apparently put it through a diagnostic test, test drove it, tested it again, and drove it again). I told them that I knew in my gut something was wrong with it, and I was 99% certain that the Mechatronic needed to be replaced. I contacted an acquaintance of mine that works at that particular dealership and a few hours later, I got a call saying the tech took it out for another drive, and was able to duplicate what I was explaining. He further told me that my Mechatronic was bad and they ordered a new one. When I went to pick up my car, the invoice had the same mileage in and out, but actually had 10 additional miles on it. I personally think that they closed out the ticket, and after I contacted my friend actually drove it. It's been 6 business days since they ordered the new one. They say they don't know what was taking so long, but it was a priority to them. I'm sure it's not, as it's warranty work....I also think that because of the fact I'm a girl, they think I don't care as much. It was a bit irritating, but at least I'll be getting a new one, hopefully sooner than later.
