Our transmission issue started as we're going down I-75 at about 65-70. What sounded like something falling from under the hood and making a klanking sound at if it was falling from the engine. After a few months the transmission started making a high pitched noise. Our local auto repair store wouldn't touch it so we had to take it to the vw dealer. Turns out not only did we need a new transmission but we also needed a new tipm. Total cost including labor was over $7000. 00. We had roughly 85,000 miles on it so it was no longer covered under warranty.
