Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta

The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled and the neutral and traction control warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,000.

Driving on 2-lane level road, dry weather, dry road conditions, after driving for about 15 miles, at about 35 mph, vehicle dropped out of gear, appeared to be in neutral while moving. Abs/esp light came on dashboard. Put on flashers and hand signaled to vehicles behind me and came to a complete stop. I shut off engine and was able to restart car, and went a short distance to a store parking lot, and the esp light came back on; and this time the gear shift was locked in park and flashing. Vw dealer had replaced original rear brakes (pads & rotors) on 4/16/15 at 104. 734 miles. Vw checked vehicle on 4/28/2015 and found an error code 01315 in the abs and gateway modules which reportedly indicated intermittent no communication with the tcm; however it was functioning at that time. And cleared computer and said if problem returned mechatronic unit and transmission wiring would need replaced. At this time I also noted noise in brakes, as if they weren’t completely releasing or making rear brakes making noise when releasing brake pedal. The problem did not reoccur until about 3,000 miles later and again vehicle dropped out of gear while driving again on level road at about 35 mph. Car is currently at vw dealer service and mechatronic unit and transmission wiring is being replaced. I also have consistently noted to vw since 4,000 mileage, periodic slipping in lower gears, which vw said they were unable to duplicate. All service maintenance completed at same vw dealer, including all dsg transmission maintenance.
