problem #2

Aug 012005

Jetta 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 37,000 miles
The asl (automatic shift lock) on my 2002 Volkswagen Jetta malfunctions, keeping my car locked in park or neutral. This has happened before, I was told it was fixed, and it has happened again. I missed work and blocked traffic the first time, and I'll have to miss work again and I'm parked in a temporary parking zone this time. So far nothing has been done to correct the failure.
