Consumer Description

MY 2008 GOLF R32 EQUIPPED WITH A DSG TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ROUGH SHIFTING, ROUGH CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT, CHOPPY REVERSE AND POWER LOSS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. PLEASE PUSH VW OF AMERICA TO HAVE A RECALL CAMPAIGN DONE. HOW LONG DO OWNERS HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS? I GUESS VW AND NHTSA WANT SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN. THANK YOU. *TR
