Consumer Description

3 TIMES CAR POPPED OUT OF 3RD GEAR WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION, NOTHING IN PARTICULAR BROUGHT THIS ON (NO BUMP IN ROAD, ETC), CAR HAS LESS THAN 7K MILES, BROUGHT TO VW DEALERSHIP AND AFTER DRIVING IT ONLY TWO MILES, THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT EVEN INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. NOW THE ISSUE IS THAT SOMETIMES I CAN'T GET THE CAR INTO 3RD GEAR. CONTACTED NE VW REGIONAL MANAGER BECAUSE I WANTED IT IN WRITING THAT THEY WERE REFUSING TO SERVICE THE CAR. THOUGH I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE SENT A LETTER, I'VE RECEIVED NOTHING MORE THAN A MONTH LATER. OTHER PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH THE CAR INCLUDE THE TURN SIGNAL SOMETIMES NOT TURNING OFF RIGHT AWAY-SOMETIMES IT BLINKS RIGHT, BLINKS LEFT AND THEN FINALLY TURNS OFF AFTER 1 MIN OR SO AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP WHEN WEATHER WAS HOT THIS PAST SUMMER.
