Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 1.8T AUTOMATIC JETTA WITH 75000 MILES. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I USE THIS CAR FOR BASIC TRANSPORTATION, AND HAVE MAINTAINED REGULAR UPKEEP. I AM APPALLED THAT I HAVE TO SPEND $5,000 TO FIX A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF JETTAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY THE TURBOS. HOW CAN VOLKSWAGEN GET AWAY WITH THIS? I WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION SUIT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS MATTER!. *AK
