general problems of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf

Over the last two months, I've had over 30 incidences where the car will either randomly shift extremely hard into a gear or will hesitate, stutter, lose power while accelerating. Some of the shifts have been so hard that they've thrown me forward. Some of the losses of power are extremely dangerous as I'm accelerating at highway speeds. I have a full log of at least 30 of these incidents (and detailed as best I could) and they are attached. I picked may 11th because that was the hardest shift/loss of power which caused me the greatest harm. I've been able to reproduce the errors in drive, sport, and tiptronic mode. The errors occur in all gears, but are most common in 2nd and 3rd (although the higher gears are involved as well), which leads me to believe it's not the transmission, yet the mechatronics unit or something outside of the transmission and engine itself. The troubling issue here is that the car is recording absolutely zero fault codes for diagnosis; that is, the car is shifting, stuttering, hesitating randomly and erratically and no diagnostics are being provided to resolve the issue. Technicians are able to guess what the issue is, but cannot give a guarantee what the problem is without the fault codes. This is the greatest safety concern, but luckily no crashes so far. .

The model above is a Golf tdi with a 6 speed manual transmission. . . . As I was driving in 6th gear at 60 m. P. H. With the cruise engaged I came upon a down grade and as I have done for close to 50 years and numerous standard transmission cars, down shifted to 5th to allow engine braking downhill. When I let the clutch back out the car accelerated instead of slowing because the cruise never cancelled. It was trying to bring me back to the set 60 m. P. H. Set speed. Took the car to the dealer, ganley vw north olmstead ohio, on 6/8/15, and after they looked at it I was told this was "normal" this was never "normal" with any other car I have owned and if so it definitely is not a safe feature.
