Automatic transmission was "clunking" on gear shifts. Dealer replaced the transmission at 57,000 miles with no hassles.
Brake switch failed causing the "EPC" light to come on (and my brake lights to remain lit even after car was turned off). Paid < $100 (USD) for the fix.
Annoying little habit of the CD player to not play homemade CD's. Failure is more likely if disc has a paper label. Still looking into this issue.
Doesn't sound like a lot of problems & the dealer took care of the transmission. I guess that wasn't enough to keep you in a VW though.
Thank you dr.obvious!
That's dr. obvious SIR, to you!
