POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2008 EOS 2.0T WITH 6 SPEED DSG TRANSMISSION HAS ERRATIC ACCELERATION IN FORWARD AND REVERSE FROM STANDSTILL. USUALLY THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAVE COOLED. IT HAS OCCURRED OVER A WIDE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES ALTHOUGH IT DOES SOMETIMES DISSIPATE AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING. THE FAILURE CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS SEVERAL SURGES OF THE THROTTLE IN FIRST GEAR OR REVERSE GEAR. MY FOOT IS TYPICALLY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL WITH A CONSTANT VELOCITY TO A SHALLOW POSITION WHICH WOULD NORMALLY PERMIT ME TO SLOWLY PULL AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN OR BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. INSTEAD, THE CAR SEEMS TO SURGE AT A MUCH GREATER SPEED FOR AN INSTANT, COAST FOR ANOTHER INSTANT, AND REPEAT UNTIL I EITHER APPLY THE BREAK OR FURTHER DECREASE THE PEDAL. WHEN DECREASING THE PEDAL FURTHER THE SURGING STOPS ONCE I REACH AN ACCELERATION CONSISTENT WITH THE PEAK OF THE SURGE. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THAT THE INCONSISTENT ACCELERATION WILL LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE AND MINOR ACCIDENTS. A SECONDARY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS PROBLEM WORSENS IT MAY CAUSE WHIPLASH FROM EVER MORE VIOLENT ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION CYCLES. NO CORRECTIVE MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AS VW HAS NOT PROVIDED DEALERSHIPS AND SERVICE SHOPS WITH A WAY TO ACCURATELY REPRODUCE THE EFFECT OR DETECT IT'S OCCURRENCE VIA FAULT CODES. *TR
