With the transmsiion failing it could be a serious problem, especially at the speed that i was going at the appromimate time of failure. An accident almost occured due to the violnet lunging back and forth from the defective transmission. Obviously there is a problem with volkswagens transmissions. This problem needs to be addressed promptly by volkswagen before fatalities do occur. The transmission should have not failed at such an early time.
