One problem related to automatic transmission gear indicator has been reported for the 2004 Volkswagen Beetle. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The transmission slips in and out of gear. The lights on the dash indicating prnd2 all have brackets around them and don't indicate what gear the car is in. It feels like we hit a road hazard every time the transmission does change gears, the dealer told us this is normal, but it is getting worse and after looking through online forums, this is a common issue with this vehicle.
