Hybrid Transmission Failure
Paul Angelo, Felton, CA, 04/23/2019
2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid SEL Premium 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 7AM)
My wife and I loved these cars so we purchased two of the SEL models. They both drove very well for a couple of years with excellent mileage but when each of them got close to 100,000 miles the hybrid transmission failed on both of them. No local mechanic would work on the complex transmission and the dealership quoted $7,000 to replace. There is clearly something wrong with the design.
Great hybrid

What are you guys doing to your poor cars?

2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid SEL Premium 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 7AM)
Bought a 2014 SEL premium from a dealer in 2015 for $22k and it had absolutely zero issues and served me well for 8 years and 160k miles, going up and down the east coast of the US many times. It's gone camping, driving in gravel, on snow, on highways at high speeds, floored in boost mode a decent amount; it has not been babied by any means. Within the last year or so after 160k it will … occasionally get an electric/hybrid system gremlin that dealers have no clue what to do about, but it solves itself upon power cycling. Still going fairly strong and still used daily at 9+ years and 175k+ mi. I don't know how you guys are chewing through engines and transmissions... are you trying to do donuts in a fwd hybrid?
