| 2009 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THIS PROBLEM RELATES TO THE VOLKSWAGEN 2009 DSG TRANSMISSION AVAILABLE ON SEVERAL 2009 MODELS. MINE IS A 2009 GTI. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIME SINCE PURCHASE 3 WEEKS AGO. FROM TIME TO TIME THE TRANSMISSION WILL UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASH. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE STANDING AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHILE AT SPEED. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE LARGELY UNKNOWN BY DEALERS, BUT IS NOW WELL DOCUMENTED BY OWNERS. SOME OWNERS HAVE NOW HAD THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. A DISCUSSION OF THE PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTP://FORUMS.TDICLUB.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=235168&PAGE=9 LIKE MANY OWNERS, I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND.

| 1987 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM | A RECALL HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR MY SON'S AUTOMOBILE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY IF THE DEFECT HAD BEEN ADDRESSED IN A PRIOR REPAIR FOR A PRIOR OWNER. THE RECALL NUMBER IS "92V050000" . NO INCIDENT HAS OCCURED YET. I AM TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE IT BECOMES A PROBEM. THANK YOU. *AK |
