Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A LOCAL CITY STREET AND HALFWAY THROUGH A TURN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN, ALL THE GEARS ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING (THE PARK, REVERSE, AND DRIVE) THEY STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF AS MY TRANSMISSION WENT HAYWIRE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND AVOID BEING HIT AS I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY SPEED, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOTION AT ALL. MY CAR HAS A DSG (DIRECT SHIFT GEARBOX).
