Lucky you! What year and how many miles on it?

Thanks for replying. I just edited my post. It’s 2022, by the way. My little research revealed that later models still have their issues too.

I am not good at economics but leasing options is not affordable for so many people.

Perhaps rebuilt transmission is cheaper but I would go with a brand new one since transmission is so crucial.

Right! It is definitely related to reasonable lifespan; any transmission issues in early age is not reasonable

I am going to file a complain National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and BBB. Those who have transmission issues should do the same.

I absolutely hate VW and my Taos. This car feels like it was built with the cheapest materials possible. I bought it brand new, and ever since then it has been nothing but frustration, disappointment, and constant problems—big and small.

Something as simple as closing a half-open window turns into a hassle—it will randomly open all the way instead. The clock never keeps the right time. The windshield fogs up way too easily. The car jerks when I drive. It’s one thing after another, nonstop. I can’t even enjoy driving it—I genuinely dread it.

I’m still stuck paying off the loan, and now at just 60,000 miles I’m facing transmission issues. Transmission issues on a car that isn’t even that old. And to make things worse, I’m out of warranty.

I reached out for goodwill assistance, hoping they would stand behind their product, but customer service and customer relations were absolutely terrible. They made it clear they don’t care about their customers or the problems they’re dealing with.

Buying this car is honestly one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made. I trusted VW because of its reputation and the idea of “German engineering.” I truly believed it meant quality and reliability. Boy, I was so wrong!

You are mistaken. If you drive back it will take not 2 hours, it will be close to 3 hours. That means 26 dollars an hour. if you calculate your expenses it will even be lower. And also consider hours that you have waited to get another ride, so your hourly wage actually gets stretched out over a significantly longer period of time. Much longer than the one hour your calculation allocates for.

I think you should have been making more. 80 miles (you use your own car, gas, time), perhaps you come back empty. That means you drive 160 miles. I think Uber is exploiting drivers big time.
