I have a 2002 vw New Beetle with an automatic transmission that has failed with 220,000 miles on it. It began to slip and not down shift properly at 170,000 miles. It is a diesel and I expect the engine will continue to perform for another 3 to 400 thousand miles. Has vw been honest with the consumer about its track history of transmission failures in the New Beetle? please add my New Beetle to the list of automatic transmission complaints.
