Well, that was fast. About 300 miles in and kaput. Driving on the freeway and there was a strong fluid smell coupled with a few strange transmissions shifts. Crazy warnings about servicing all of the following: hill start assist, transmission, engine. Managed to get off an exit and then the car seemed stuck in first or second, I'm not sure. Towed to the dealer, which of course the service dept is now closed. So I'm carless till monday.



I call my wife and she starts googling finding out that the 9 Speed transmission is the same as in the cherokee which is having all kinds of problems. If I had known that I never in a million years would have bought this car. I bought it to go out into the middle of nowhere, from which now, I apparently would not have returned.



So not happy and all I wish right is that it was a week ago and I still had my old GTI.



Anybody know of any recourse? Can I get out of this somehow? Get a new car? How can I trust it from now on...
