Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS OKAY FOR THE FIRST YEAR OR SO THAT I OWNED IT. STARTING ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF 2009, MY DSG TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING FUNNY. WHEN I WOULD LET OFF OF THE BRAKE, THE CAR WOULD SIT FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN JUMP FORWARD QUICKLY AS IF I HAD BLURPED THE THROTTLE. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT TWICE BEFORE ROLLING SMOOTHLY. IT FEELS LIKE THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGING TOO STRONGLY AND THEN LETTING OFF. ALSO, WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS LIKE IT HOLDS ON TO THE GEAR A LITTLE TOO LONG AND MAKES MY CAR JUMP FORWARD RIGHT BEFORE A STOP. IT DOES THIS IS REVERSE ALSO. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING AND ALSO HAS CAUSED ME TO GO TOO FAR INTO THE CROSSWALK AT A STOP LIGHT. IT DOES THIS ALL OF THE TIME, NOT JUST WHEN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION IS COLD. *TR
