Transmission would go forward when placed in reverse. Much noise was present. At 100017 miles dealer claimed transmission was ok so I should just drive the car. Dealer / volks N.a. claim mileage exceeded warranty therefore they were not responsible for any portion of the cost of repairs.

Following approximately two dozen visits to the dealership for a correction, nothing was found. At one point an air flow sensor was replaced, but the it did not correct the problem. Often times a hesitation will occur when I'm acccelerating into traffic or attempting to climb a hill or mountain. In addition, when shifting into gear the transmission will jerk and shifting into gear very roughly while climbing a hill/mountain.
