THERE WAS A SOUND APPARENT WHEN I PURCHASED IT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS TYPICAL FOR A DIESEL VEHICLE, AFTER 6 MONTHS OF DRIVING I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DMF (DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL) WAS FAILING. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THAT THE DMF MANUFACTURED BY SACHS THAT VOLKSWAGEN USES IN THEIR 2000 AND LATER MODELS HAVE A HIGH RATE FAILURE AFTER IN AS LITTLE AS 10,000 MILES. CAUSING COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE FAILURE OF VARYING DEGREES. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR CAN RANGE BETWEEN $2000.00 - $8000.00. NOT ONLY IS THE EXPENSE HIGH DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE FLYWHEEL, BUT THE RISK IS EVEN HIGHER, CAUSING HESITATION IN ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR SUDDEN WHEEL LOCK AND LOSS OF CONTROL AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WHILE TRAVELING. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THIS PROBLEM BE ADDRESS FOR THE SAFETY AND CONCERN OF ANY VOLKSWAGEN VEHICLE OWNER WITH THIS DEFECTIVE FLYWHEEL. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2006","productMake":"VOLKSWAGEN","productModel":"JETTA","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
