Consumer Description

2005 NEW BEETLE CONVERTIBLE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD AT AROUND 56,000 MILES. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR. HAD A SENSOR REPLACED. THAT HELPED SOME BUT NOW IT IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AGAIN - EVERYDAY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS. WHY HASN'T VW BEEN MADE TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES? *TR
