Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle transmission overheated and locked into 2nd gear while on highway going 75 miles an hour. technician that looked at the transmission said that the fluid was burned due to getting too hot, which caused it to go into fail mode. there was previously a recall on the transmission (04v176000) which has these same symptoms. when the recall came out we had the transmission recall worked performed by the dealer. it appears that there is still a problem with this transmission. we've had the transmission replaced and the dealer refused to take any responsibility. they state that transmission fluid burnt up due to use not servicing it every 30,000 miles. the owners manual says to only check the fluid every 30,000 and to service it at 75,000 miles. we've had the fluid check at every other oil change. so the last time the transmission fluid was checked was 10,000 miles before this incident. *jb
