Atlas Cross Sport SE 1.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

No surprise Volkswagen is rated as the worst reliable car. my Jetta se with only 12000 started to make whining noise coming from transmission when weather is warm, interesting that noise is not there when weather is cold which indicated on bad fluid characteristics or metal temperature issues. This looks like whistling noise from torque converter. Took to dealer 3 times, they replaced turbo, but it was not turbo issue. Send a number of complaints to Volkswagen, they simply do not care. I started to hate this car manufacturer hope they go bankrupt and no one buys their junk! F you VW be cursed forever!
