I have a 2010 Jetta tdi with the dsg transmission. When I was driving yesterday, I noticed the "d" flashing as I lost power to the wheels. It was acting as if it was in neutral. I tried to shift it to "n" and back to "d" with no success. I pulled off the road, turned the switch off, waited for it to completely power down and restarted it. It went a couple of minutes down the road and the "d" started flashing again, the transmission disengaged again (false neutral). This cycle went on several times before I was able to get it home. When it was flashing, it would flash in any gear selected (prnds) and it was continuous until I turned the key off. There were times that I didn't have a safe place to pull off the road. This is a big safety issue, it can cause people to be put in a very dangerous situation. This issue can happen at any time and cause a fatal wreck. During the failure, there was no power to the wheels at all, it failed to go into a limp mode to safely move the vehicle.
