1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2011

My car is a 2006 vw Gli. The transmission was rebuilt 3 months ago and cost me a fortune, and now this. I just heard from my transmission technician that my mechatronic unit needs to be replaced in the dsg transmission. Many, many vw and Audi buyers have had to have these replaced. I have had to drive various "loaners" so that I can get to work etc. Vw should have to back up their product and make it right with us vw buyers.

2 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2010

Dsg automatic transmission unexpectedly shifts into neutral while driving. It has happened about six times after the car had 30,000 miles on it.
