Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have an '03 vw passat . about 4 months ago i noticed it had started hesitating when trying to back uphill. i took it to the dealership and they put transmission fluid in it. it was ok for a short period of time and it started again. i took it back. they scanned it and said there were no leaks but they put in more transmission fluid. that lasted 1 1/2 weeks. they are now ordering a whole new transmission because the slipping did it when the service people drove it. they had not test driven it the previous times until after they put in fluid. *jb
