“Driving on the highway at 50+ and the transmission quit( like we were in neutral ). Had to maneuver across traffic to the shoulder. Restarted and vehicle drove fine til next day and it happened again.code was checked and it said no communication with transmission module I'm the second owner and the vehicle has less than 78,000 miles”

“My automatic transmission is slipping and then clunks into gear. I bought the car used at the end of april 2017. I took it to the vw dealership and they found metal shavings in the transmission fluid. The warranty ran out at 60,000 miles, I have 64,000 miles on it. They want $7100 to replace the transmission and vw headquarters refuses to offer any help at all.”

I kept having intermittent issues. After car going into neutral state in middle of traffic I took care back in, august 27, 2013. They told me they found no faults and car was running according to factory specifications and they could not do anything. …”

This started happening when weather became hot, and only occurs after driving for an hour or more. Only when hot outside. I performed transmission fluid service with no resolve. There was no debris in the old fluid to indicate mechanical issues. I also get error code P2711- unexpected mechanical failure . …”
