06 Jetta TDI 45,000 miles, under warranty- Need advice!
Exact ProblemRNDS LIGHT FLASHING, TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR,
The gear shift lights- "PRNDS" began flashing when driving slowly the second day after I bought it. The service advisor said she had never heard of that happening before. Look at the invoice and you will know what was done. At the end of the service visit, she said that when they checked it out, they could tell that something happened but didn't know what- she said they cleared the code out of the computer and it should be fine.
The flashing PRNDS has happened probably four or five more times. I video taped one occasion (with my cell). It always happens when driving slowly- like driving into my driveway.
Last night, I had stopped and when I took off, the PRNDS lights began flashing. The car would not shift out of FIRST gear. I attempted to switch to manual shift and I could not get it to shift. I parked the car, pulled up the parking brake, and turned the car off. I turned it back on to see if it would drive. I released the brake. I then drove it slowly back to my home. (about 1 mile) It was shifting gears but I didn't take a chance. I drove very slow.
Had it towed to dealership. Open to suggestions.
