NHTSA Complaint #10672737 — 2006 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE

I AM INCLUDING MY COMPLAINT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNFORTUNATELY BOUGHT THIS CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A MONEY PIT AND ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER. THEY ARE NOT SAFE CARS. WE GOT A TOTAL CLEAR INSPECTION FROM THE VW DEALER ( OF COURSE) AND THEN THERE WAS SOME SORT OF OIL LEAK, WHICH WE SPENT 2K FIXING, THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW JUST DECIDED TO STOP WORKING AND THE ENTIRE WINDOW HAD TO BE DUCT TAPED UP IN THE DEAD OF WINTER UNTIL WE COULD ORDER A REPLACEMENT , THEN THE CONTROLLER NEED TO BE REPLACED ($500) THEN THE CAR STARTED LURCHING NON STOP AND NOW WE ARE TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. SERIOUSLY? VW NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THIS CAR AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. THEY ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR FOR $5500 AND HAVE ABOUT ANOTHER 4K INTO IT. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AND MAKE VW TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE LEMONS THEY ARE SELLING PEOPLE. I WILL NOW HAVE TO SCRAP THIS CAR, BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE. ESPECIALLY THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE......HOW CAN IT BE IGNORED WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION? *TR
