I have a 2001 Volkswagen (VW) Jetta. The VIN is[xxx]. vehicle has 54,953 miles on it and yesterday I had to have the shift lock solenoid replaced. Sometimes after driving if you would take the vehicle out of drive and put it in park or another gear it would get stuck in that gear. I just wanted to let you know since I feel this could possibly be a major concern. Updated 07/17/2012 information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Consumer complained about a transmission problem. Transmission will not go into reverse. Also, consumer was told that there was a problem with the brake light. Water intrusion from the driver's side of the vehicle leaving 1/2" of water on floorboard. Consumer reporting this condition results in slippery pedals and windows fogging up.
