2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA with 265000. miles
Transmission goes into limp mode once vehicle reaches normal operating temperature. Codes are P1689 and P0746. When this happens the car will only function in 2nd gear and nothing else. This is very dangerous on interstates where the minimum speed limit can not be reached. Researching online, this is a known problem and the mechatronic needs to be replaced.
