Replying to: briscoek (Oct 11, 2007 6:12 pm) My service advisor told me that I have defective wiring internally and need a new transmission for 7600.00 if that helps any.
#67 of 126 2005 VW beetle turbo, transmission woes by shouldidebug Oct 13, 2009 (12:34 pm)
I too have become a victim of a faulty transmission. I bought a used VW bug for my daughter last summer...31K miles...I now have 56K miles and the transmission is gone. It breaks hard and has trouble going into 3rd and 4th gear. I also have the brackets around the gears, so it's obvious it doesn't know what gear it's in. My husband was taking the car to a mechanic when it stuck in 3rd gear. I've been given a quote from Greenbrier VW in Va, for over $7100. How can a car with 56K miles, need a new transmission? And what am I supposed to do? I can't buy another car, since I paid cash for this one. I saved for this car for her and now VW and the dealership have struck again...
#68 of 126 Recall Beetle Transmissions by ethanf Oct 13, 2009 (2:34 pm)
Went to the website for the National Highway Transportation & Safety Admin and filed a safety complaint. Slipping in and out of gear is certainly a safety problem. NHTSA can force a recall for safety reasons. File enough of them & who knows?   http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm Replies to this message: shouldidebug (Oct 13, 2009 4:03 pm) bughater (Oct 19, 2009 5:34 pm)

#70 of 126 MEE TOO! by tpadelford Oct 13, 2009 (6:53 pm)
I have 41k miles on my 05 Beatle and I am so pissed off that I am told my warranty does not transfer to the second owner. my transmission so they say is going out. Hard shifting and we had it serviced for 361 dollars. there was a code that came up however that said temp sensor not responding, or something to that effect. and a used transmission is 2500 to 3000 and who is to say if you wont have a problem with that one. I called a dealership to make sure about the warranty not belieing the service department I e mailed the finance department. I was called by the sales department asking me what kind of vehical I was interested in. I am pissed Green country has there head in there ass. I think I am still in warranty and I want my car fixed this is crap.

Replying to: daniel_herbert (Oct 06, 2009 6:16 pm) Dan I have replied to many and now you. My o5 has 41k miles on it and I am the 2nd owner and the service department told me that the warranty does not transfer to the second owner but it looks as though you bought yours used. so now I am pissed they just dont want to deal with it.
#74 of 126 Re: My 04 bettle accelerates on its own????? [rossi209209] by sadcarowner Oct 19, 2009 (10:22 am)
Replying to: rossi209209 (Aug 31, 2007 1:43 pm) I too had a problem with my transmission 05 new beetle convertable. I took it in many times and they too could never duplicate the problem. It happened only once in a while. Then I noticed that it happened after I had driven it 5 miles or so. Drove the car around one day until it started happening and drove right to the dealer. Insisted that the service writer join me for a drive- the problem happened and my car was serviced- cost $2000. After 6 months the problem is starting to happen again!
#75 of 126 Re: Beetle auto transmission issue when warm [regnef] by sadcarowner Oct 19, 2009 (10:30 am)
Replying to: regnef (Jan 06, 2008 5:52 pm) Yep same exact problem. Took it in to dealer many times and they could not duplicate the problem and no issues in the computer system. It was getting really bad- shifting up from 2nd to 3rd and on, felt like I was being rear ended when the transmission finally shifted. I have an 05 Turbo Beetle Convertable. Finally took it for a drive and when the issue happened drove over to the dealer. Made the service writer hop in and took him for a ride. My car had only 65,000 miles on it-of course 5000 mile over warranty!!! The problem happened with him in the car and they diagnosed something within the transmission. $2,000 to fix. He told me with all the problems that I have had to buy an extended serivce plan to "protect myself" I did and 6 months later the transmission is beginning to do the same thing! Hopefully I didn't get screwed when I bought the warranty-it is supposed to cover transmissions at least. Good luck-if you are a beetle owner you need it!
