You should never tow a car with Automatic transmission
Can you flat tow a 2008 Chevrolet cobalt?
The owners manual said that the car is only supposed to be towed flat, given that its an automatic transmission. The manual is not to be towed flat or used to tow anything. Hope that helps
What car that can be flat towed?
To the best of my knowledge most 2 wheel rear drive cars and trucks can be towed without damaging the transmission (if by your question you mean "flat towed" as meaning towed behind a tow truck on it's rear wheels). Most, if not all, 4 wheel drive cars need to be towed ( carried up on) a flat bed truck. Having a flat bed truck carry a 4 wheel drive car will prevent damage to the transmission.
Can a 2003 vw beetle automatic be towed behind a motorhome?
No and I could be wrong on this but if it is a true automatic transmission and not the DSG, you have to disconnect the drive wheels from the transmission like with every other car sold with a automatic.

It would be okay for a very short distance, but that car is not designed to be flat towed as the transmission will not have circulating lubricant.
What are the name of cars that can be towed behind a motor home?
Any car could be. A 2wd drive car with a manual transmission can simply be put into neutral and flat towed. A 4wd vehicle with a manual transfer case can simply have the transfer case placed into the neutral position and be flat towed. Vehicles with automatic transmissions and vehicles which don't have manual transfer cases capable of being put into a neutral position (such as the electronically controlled NP233 or any all wheel drive transfer case) typically need to have the driveshaft(s) removed in order to be flat towed.
What are the problems related to accidentally flat towing a car in Park gear?
Tire failure on towed vehicle and then possible transmission failure on towed vehicle. If the tires wear out before the transmission fails you will grind the wheels flat on the down side but as the coefficient of friction will be much less the transmission will probably make it.
Can Ford Fiesta be flat towed?
You don't specify which model of fiesta, but all 1995-2002 models with manual transmission can be towed flat (i.e with a tow rope behind another vehicle etc). I'd imagine other models with manual transmissions can also be towed in this way. Ford specifically state that models equipped with the CTX automatic transmission cannot be flat towed. The only way to move such a vehicle is by either lifting the front wheels (i.e by towing with a two-wheeled towing dolly) and towing with the rear wheels down, or by loading the vehicle onto a trailer or car transporter.

You can use jumper cables, but cars with automatics shouldn't be towed or pushed as an attempt to start them. It can damage the transmission.
