<prompt> Human: I have a 2012 Volkswagen CC with 96,000 miles and in the past 3 months Ive had to get it towed to a shop 2 times. First, was because of fuel pump failure which was 1,000 and has now been under recall. As of last night, the transmission went out. I called Volkswagen and they werent any help and said sorry you havent had a good experience with our cars. No warranty on it, full coverage Insurance wont cover, GAP Insurence is only for if its totaled, I still owe 12,000 on the car and Volkswagen says Its a 6,000 transmission. I cant afford to have 2 car payments. What should I do?  <response>: Take it to a good transmission shop for an independent estimate dont tell them what VW told you, just let them do an estimate. If they get the same diagnosis, call a 2nd transmission shop for a quote based on that. Take it to whichever of those is cheaper and get it fixed.
