Consumer Description

INTERMITTENTLY CAR WILL NOT START. USUALLY I CAN MANEUVER THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER FROM THE PARK POSITION DOWN THROUGH THE GEARS, (NEUTRAL, DRIVE, ETC...) THEN BACK TO THE PARK POSITION & THEN THE CAR WILL START. VW DEALER IS UNABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM BUT OFFERED TO REPLACE A PART FOR A FEE OF $400.00 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. *JB
