1 Transmission Stuck In Gear problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2011

While driving the car with the dsg transmission in manual shift (tiptronic) mode, the car is supposed to downshift automatically as the car slows down. I have had 2 instances when the car would slow down, the transmission would downshift (as it should) to 4th gear and the instrument cluster multi-function display indicates 4th gear but when I accelerate to get the car moving again, the car feels like it is stuck in neutral, I. E. , the engine revs but the momentum does not increase. Solution: I have found that manually pushing the shifter lever down to shift into 3rd gear engages 3rd gear and gets the car going again.
