Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 108000 MILES ON IT, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD; HOWEVER NOW IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORST. I HAVE DONE TONS OF RESEARCH AND THE ISSUES SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE THAT IS MORE OF A RECALL ISSUE THAN JUST ONE CARE ISSUE. I ALSO DO NOT LIKE HOW VW OF AMERICA IS JUST FLUFFING IT OFF LIKE IT IS ALL THE OWNERS FAULTS. I ALSO HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE PAID FOR THE TRANSMISSIONS TO BE REPLACED AND OR FIXED FOR OVER 5K AND THE ISSUE COMES UP AGAIN, IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE WOULD TAKE AND LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE MANY OF US BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE THEY LIKED VW AND WILL SOON BE GETTING RID OF THEM AS WELL AS NO LONGER BUYING FROM VW DUE TO VW IGNORING OUR COMPLAINTS. *TR
