My daughter bought her first car in late June from a reputable dealer. A 2002 Jetta with 69K, beautiful car, ran perfect. While in college in another state the auto transmission would not engage in reverse unless the car was warmed up for 10 to 15 minutes. This started with 77K on the car. She drove the car home, 8 hr. drive, and had me deal with it. VW dealer say transmission fluid burnt with metal shavings, needs a new trasmission for 5K. This is a sealed transmission which my local mechanic will not touch, we live in the sticks, and closest VW dealer is over an hour away. A transmission that you can't sevice should not go bad with such low miles.
