| Description of the problem | After leaving work, i went about two blocks, turned the corner and my car stalled out on me, i was able to coast to the side of the road and out the way of traffic. I shut the vehicle off and back on and it would not go into gear, drive or reverse. I towed it to nearest vw dealership which was 4 hours away and they said i need a new transmission and even though it is the same year make and model as other vehicles with recall problem, volkswagen says my vin does not fall under the recall and i have to pay $7295 for a new transmission. My car only has 67,000 miles on it, and the warranty does not cover the problem. |
