Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle is unsafe and a potential liability to drive due to a faulty transmission valve body. I am the second owner and purchased the certified vehicle through an authorized vw dealer. Vw failed to notify me of an available extended warranty of a recognized issue with the vehicle. I tried reaching out to vw but they refuse to offer any repairs and notified me on the letter that "it is our hope the previous owners pass the information to you". This is an unacceptable response and i am appalled by their decision. Any assistance would be appreciated.
