Transmission Gear Slipping Problems of Audi A3

Car is bucking and gears are slipping while in motion. Issue has continued to get worse. This is my first Audi & might be my last.

Random loss of power, the transmission will randomly slip while the car is in reverse from a parked position. It will also slip randomly while in forward motion and during turning. This is very dangerous and could cause an accident resulting in being rear ended. Please help! last time it happened was 1/15/2017.

2006 Audi A3 2. 0t with dsg. Transmission is slipping sometimes on acceleration, sometimes with steady driving. Stepped on accelerator at stop light and transmission engaged for about 5 feet, then car lurched to a stop, then transmission caught and it accelerated forward again. Issue repeated two more times within the hour. Today I was cruising at a steady 70 mph, 6th gear, about 2800 rpm, and the transmission let go and rpms dropped to about 2200 before the transmission re-engaged and the vehicle was again at 2800 rpm. Happened once per mile after that, and then twice again on surface streets in 4th gear. Appears to match exactly the symptoms owners experience with recalled 2007-2010 vehicles with the same transmission.

My 2006 Audi A3 with dsg transmission sometimes slips when hot while pulling out into traffic from a stop. Also surges in first gear occasionally when hot. I have not taken it in for repairs as they are too expensive. There has been many complaints of this same issue on auto forums. Im going to take it in this week and see what the charge would be to check it out. But im sure its the same problem as all the other Audi and vw cars out there with the dsg tranny. Im scared to pull out into traffic and get hit.
