Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2005.5 VW JETTA AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF . MORE RECENTLY THE GEARS ARE STALLING TO SHIFT WE WERE DRIVING IN A LOCAL STREET WHEN OUR CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT. IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE ON BUSY ROADS OR MERGING ON TO HIGHWAYS ETC. WE HAVE NOT USED OUR CAR SINCE AND OUR MECHANIC TOLD US IT WAS U SAFE TO DRIVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE VW HAS NOT TAKEN OWNERSHIP FOR THERE MISTAKE AND MAKE A RECALL. OUR CAR JUST PASSED 100,000K AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM . TO FIX THE PROBLEM WE WERE TOLD ITS THE VALVE BODY AND THE PART ITSELF IS $1,200 NOT INCLUDING LABOR COST.
