| Description of the problem | While driving my way to work i parked the car and came out to go grab something to eat. The car would not move till i noticed my gears were flashing on and off (p,r,n,d,s). I couldnt get into any gears at all and so i called a tow truck. They came out and i gave them the key to try and move the car. They were able to get into gears but i told them i didnt feel safe driving it so i had them tow it home. The next day the same thing happened indefinitely. I did not want to pay the dealer 5600 bucks to fix it as other people are having the same issue. Im waiting on vw to either do a recall or some kind of research to fix this problem. I also called vw and they said they replaced the mechatronic unit for my car already. But how would it fail again already? There was no explination therefore i am waiting for a response from vw or get a letter in the mail for a total recall. |
