New to the forum and Volkswagen. I have other vehicles but I wanted this one for the sole purpose of cross country treks this summer in the US.
I test drove a lot vehicle because the one I wanted was inside and did not want to bother the staff about pulling it outside. Nonetheless I liked the ride and feel so went ahead a purchased. They delivered the one I wanted to my business later that day.
Took the vehicle for its first drive the following day and when trying to engage second gear it would not. Could not get second gear to engage but all others worked fine. Continued driving and second gear was hit and miss and then finally no more second gear.
Dealer towed car, received call today a new transmission is required. Apparently forth gear was also damaged. Car had 110 miles when I purchased, either the test drives this vehicle was exposed to were from hell or I just got a dud. Hope this is not a trend to my first time experience with this brand.
Just thought I would share and say hello to the community.
