GTI

  • 90,000 miles
When hot transmission is getting stuck! when warm I cannot go onto reverse when shifter is in R pushing the gas does not get it to move! also when driving will D on dash board will start blinking and will no longer switch gears accelerator will go into red! I need to pull over and restart car to continue driving! I have read only that other VW models had recalls because of wires it was switching to N !I think this car is also having a similar problem and be included! it does it more once the car is warm and some times the check oil pressure in the engine light will flash when driving long distances! I have read online a lot of other people with similar problem and needed to replace transmission and or get new car!
