Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO DISPLAY SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTIC SLIPPING AND LURCHING DSG ISSUES THAT VW KNOWS ABOUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WHEN THE TECH TOOK IT OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE, HE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE HIMSELF. UNFORTUNATELY, THE COMPUTERS AREN'T THROWING ANY CODES SO THEIR ONLY ADVICE WAS TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND I CAN BRING IT BACK AND THEY CAN MORE EASILY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO BASICALLY I'M DRIVING A TIME BOMB. VW KNOWS THERE'S ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, THE VW DEALERSHIP TECH EXPERIENCED THE ACTUAL ISSUE HIMSELF, BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT GETS WORSE.
