| Recall for transmission valve, brought to dealership, replaced valve and then transmission went out. vw said this had nothing to do with the valve being replaced and would not cover the transmission, which was 6500 in addition to another 1500. with that being said, the car is now just suddenly losing all power at red lights or whenever stopped, this is a real road hazard, it is an accident waiting to happen. these 2005 vw are dangerous cars on the road. vw needs to step up and reimburse folks for the transmission so that they can go and get new cars. it's difficult in these times to be able to go and get a new car when i have just socked 8000 into this one. i cannot believe that vw is getting away with this transmission issue, just unbelieveable. and the car will go back in the shop again next week. i am really asking for this government agency to investigate and do what's right for all vw beetle owners that are going through this. the recall is surely a cover up for the real issue, a faulty transmission. | |||
