I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, MOST RECENTLY WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE FROM DRIVE, THE DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING AND IT LOST ALL POWER AS IF IT WERE DISENGAGED OR IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A DEALER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MY VIN ( CAMPAIGN 09V333000), BUT THAT IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP, WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE.

CLUNK AND NOISE FROM DSG TRANSMISSION WHEN ACCELERATE FROM STOP IN D POSITION OR FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR FOR SLOWING DOWN. I THINK IT IS MECHATRONIC ISSUES FOR THOSE YEAR VW AUDI DSGS. IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY BUT STILL CAN BE COVERED BY RECALL?

THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE DURING THE DAY. DURING THE EVENING I WAS MANEUVERING THE CAR TO PARK. WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, THE PRNDS INDICATORS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY OF THE GEARS WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR OFF TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE MECHATRONICS UNIT OF THE CAR. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO A LOW LEVEL OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME AND THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP A WEEK LATER. I AM SCHEDULED TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN THIS COMING WEEK. IT IS AN ISSUE WITH AN AUDI DSG TRANSMISSION. *TR

THIS IS THE UTMOST FRUSTRATING SERIAL OF INCIDENT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED WITH AN AUTO MANUFACTURE COMPANY - AUDI. I HAVE TRIED TO PUT MY FAITH AND SAFETY AGAIN WITH AUDI, BUT THEY HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED ME LEAVING ME AND FAMILY IN DANGEROUS AND PARANOIA. MY AUDI 2009 TTS WAS PROBLEM FREE UNTIL 4,000 MILES. OUT OF ORDINARY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL SEAL WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY SIMILAR WITH MY 2009 A3 INCIDENT (ODI #10281829). I HAVE SINCE BEEN EXTREMELY PARANOID WITH MY NEW TTS AS THE A3 HAD LEFT ME VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AS IT HAD COMPLETELY LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. AT AROUND 14,000 MILES, I HAVE NOTICED A TICKING SOUND BY THE REAR DRIVER AREA. THIS WAS THE AREA THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD WORKED ON AT 5,000 MILES WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF FUEL SEAL. I HAVE NOT THINK MUCH OF IT AS THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND IT WAS APPROACHING THE NEXT SERVICE INTERVAL AND I THOUGHT I CAN JUST HAVE THE DEALERSHI
