Transmission Slip Out Of Gear Problems of Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible

I have a 2005 vw beetle purchased new, I was driving and noticed jerking between 1st & 2nd then it started stalling going into 4th gear and a few days ago it slipped out of 6th gear in the caldecot tunnel, nearly got rear ended! took it to a tranny guy and he checked it out. Come to find out the vw tech he contacted told him that they go out at 100,000 (currently at 97,700) and it can take up to $7,500 to replace and it can't be fixed. Vw tech said they did this to get you to buy a new car.

2005 vw beetle, began slipping out of gear and the final straw was in fast moving traffic and it slipped out completely, was nearly killed! found out the transmission was shot at 97,700 and apparently this happens quite a bit with these vehicles, to replace is $7,500. Thousands of complaints online, ntsb won't say if or what they are doing about it.

Transmission will not shift out third gear, triptrontic automatic, leak in trunk, top will not go up.

2005 New Beetle Convertible transmission started shifting hard at around 56,000 miles. Every once in a while it would slip out of gear. Had a sensor replaced. That helped some but now it is slipping out of gear again - everyday. I have read several complaints on this. Why hasn't vw been made to correct these issues?.

I have a 2005 turbo vw beetle with 56k miles. The transmission jumps out of gear. Sometimes it sticks in 3rd gear and also sometimes jumps out of gear when driving down the road. I bought this car as my daughter's first car and she is scared to drive it because she was nearly rearended when it jumped out of gear. I also have the brackets around the gears, so it's obvious it doesn't know what gear it's in. The car is at a vw dealership and I was just given a $7100 repair quote. They would not acknowledge the 60k mile drivetrain warranty and after doing research on the web, I have found numerous other 2005 vw beetle owners experiencing similar problems.
