Consumer Description

WHEN THE DSG TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD IT DOES NOT ENGAGE, THE RPM GAUGE ALMOST REDLINES, THEN WHEN IT ENGAGES TO 3RD IT JERKS AND THE WHEELS PILL OUT, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING TO ME ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO GET TO WORK! VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID THE DSG TRANSMISSION IS SEALED. I WOULD LIKE VOLKSWAGEN HEALED RESPONSIBLE FOR MANUFACTURING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT AND SELLING IT TO AMERICANS PUTTING ME IN DANGER. I WOULD LIKE YOUR ATTORNEYS TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST VW FOR 1 BILLION DOLLARS ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I BELIEVE THAT WILL MAKE THEM UP, YOU ALL HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND DON'T BUY A VOLKSWAGEN. *TR
