| 2007 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I HAVE A 2007 VW GTI WITH THE DSG TRANSMISSION. IT LOOSES THE GEAR, WON'T SHIFT AND THE GAS PEDAL SEEMS AS IF THERE IS NOTHING BEHIND IT ALMOST LIKE PUSHING ON AIR. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SAME AS THE RECALL WHICH STOPPED IN 2008. *TR |
| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | FALSE NEUTRAL WITH DSG TRANSMISSION: I HAD SOMETHING SCARY HAPPEN THIS MORNING. NEXT TO MY HOUSE, WHERE I PULL OUT AND MAKE A LEFT ON TO A 4 LAND ROAD, TRAFFIC IS COMING AROUND A MOSTLY BLIND CURVE AT 50MPH. I HAVE TO PULL OUT ACROSS TRAFFIC AND GO LEFT ONTO THIS ROAD (WHICH HAS A MEDIAN). THIS MORNING I PRESSED THE GAS FOR A VERY LIGHT ACCELERATION, AND IT PULLED OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT AND WHEN IT WENT TO SECOND IT DIDN'T ENGAGE... IT WENT TO NEUTRAL. I WAS ONLY 1/2 WAY ACROSS THE FIRST LANE OF TRAFFIC. MY CAR BARELY ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY OF CROSS TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT NO GEARS WERE ENGAGED. THE STICK WAS IN D. ONCE THE CAR ROLLED DOWN TO ABOUT 2MPH AND I LET THE RPMS DROP DOWN TO IDLE, 1ST GEAR ENGAGED AND I WENT ABOUT MY BUSINESS. IT HAD LITERALLY *JUST* ENOUGH ROLL TO GET ME OUT OF THE WAY OF A CAR THAT WAS HEADING AT MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AT 50MPH, AND THE DRIVER WAS NOT EXPECTING A CAR TO PULL OUT AND STOP IN FRONT OF IT (THEY WEREN'T SLOWING DOWN). IF IT DIDN'T HAVE THAT SMALL AMOUNT OF ENERGY FROM 1ST GEAR TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY, I CAN'T IMAGINE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD. IT WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING. *TR |
