Transmission Not Engage Problems of Volkswagen CC

The engine light is on in my vehicle and I found out there is an unexpected mechanical gear disengagement (trouble code p2711). The dealership quoted $2,400 suggesting me to replace clutch packs, after I spent $140 simply for diagnosis. I saw that vw used to provide a safety recall and extended warranty for dsg transmission for certain models in 2007 to 2010. I also found online that there are many reported dsg-related failures. I, just as many vw owners do, have experienced delays at shift points, causing erratic shifting, jerking, long stall pauses, clutch slipping, surging in forward and reverse, etc. While the car is either accelerating, passing or cruising. However, my 2010 vw Cc (55k mileage) is not under this extended warranty. I think it's very ridiculous, since I've taken good care of my vehicle, but have already experienced 3 safety recall (including takata recall and fuel pump recall), and this time they refuse to reimburse my costs incurred by their commonly-known dangerous transmission failure. I'm already hugely influenced by this model's safety recalls, and don't want to pay $2400 for their design defects. Even if I repair it at my own expense, it's hard to say such a bad transmission will not cause other danger or trouble in the future. If this is the same dsg transmission that's reported to be troublesome, their warranty/recall should be fairly provided to all influenced vehicles. Thank you for your time!.

I would never recommend someone to purchase a Cc or Volkswagen car equipped with a dsg transmission. The car will not engage park, reverse, or neutral, and when in drive it sometimes disengages into neutral leaving you to pull over and place the car in park to restart and reengage drive. Also doesn't downshift smoothly whatsoever. Pretty much my 2010 Cc is great at sometimes going forwards, not parking or reversing. . . .

While driving from a stand still at a traffic light, the transmission (auto dsg) failed to change to second gear but rather disengaged prematurely causing loss of movement. This occurred at an intersection and almost caused an accident. Depressing the accelerator only caused the engine to rev up but no movement (as if the transmission was in neutral). Only way to recover was to put on hazards lights, place transmission in park, switched off the car, switched on after 30 seconds and drive away.

Dsg transmission problems, I had the car for about 1 year and a half and suddenly after a long day of driving the car when I would get home to park the car and reverse it into the spot and it didn't engage instead I just heard a thump and then the check engine light turned on and I had the p,r,n,d,s flashing so everytime I would try to engage drive or reverse it felt like it was I'm neutral, I took the car to get looked at by a vw,porshe, mercedes specialist and he said it was the mechatronic unit so I got that changed, it seemed like that had fixed the problem then it started to do the same thing, everytime after a long drive when I go to reverse it doesn't engage and does the same thing makes every gear feel like it's in neutral so I have to turn the car off then on and it works and engages reverse with no problem, got engine code p2711 which said unexpected / implausible mechanical gear disengagement.

A heavy jerk and bag when the transmission shifts between 1st-3rd gears. Transmission disengages while moving but particularly in stop and go traffic. Vehicle needs to be completely shut down and restarted in order for the transmission to become fully operational again. There is also a hesitation or time lag when shifting from park to reverse before the transmission engages. The vehicle has an automatic dsg transmission. I am not the only owner of a 2010 Cc that has been experiencing this problem. I contacted the vehicle manufacturer and I was told that the company's position was to do nothing. This vehicle has 2-3 other recalls on it as well. This is a mechanic issue that can occur at any moment and possess potential hazards when in motion in any driving condition (highway or street). I was told by dealership repair center that the car requires a brand new transmission costing upwards of $5,000. As stated this is a manufacturing issue and research indicates that many other owners of this type of vehicle have had the same mechanical issue with the end result of having to replace the transmission. You ask when this happened, however, it is not a particular date but continuous.

Dsg transmission failed to engage in reverse gear multiple times. It typically seems to only occur when forward and reverse are selected multiple times before turning off ignition. Experienced one instance in which transmission would not shift past first gear, even in manual mode and which did not recur since. Multiple incidents of no reverse activation. Once the car is turned off and turned back on, the reverse gear engages. It sounds as if it takes multiple attempts for reverse to engage upon restarting the engine.
