general problems of the 2013 Volkswagen GTI

Dsg automatic transmission started going into neutral at various speeds and driving conditions. It feels as though the clutch disengages momentarily, causing the vehicle to slow down and engine to rev. This is definitely not safe when trying to merge or drive on the highway. This is a know issue with vw dsg transmissions and warranted a safety recall on earlier vehicles. My vehicle is newer than the recall so vw has no obligation to help me. They inspected the car and told me it needed a transmission replacement, but that the transmission is no longer produced or available. I would need to source a used transmission and try my luck. It is unacceptable that vw has no liability in this issue that is known, common and a real safety issue.
