Description of the problem	I have a 2006 audi a3 3. 2 w/ dsg. The car was driving fine until one day, complete disaster. What happens now is when you start up the car, drive any distance and come to a stop, the car will go neutral, the prnds will start to flash, and come to a jolting stop. The only way to get it going again, is to power off then start up again. There has been times when the car has gone neutral while driving and i'll have to come to a stop. This occurs 99% of the time. Being in the d. C. Area, there's lots of traffic so powering down and up again at each stop and go traffic isn't safe for me and others around. The car has been at the dealer for 5 weeks now b/c the replacement part (transmission control unit / mechatronic unit / dsg) is from germany and has to be "coded to your vin". It also has to go through us customs before arriving at the dealer. Being out of warranty, this is going to be a costly repair for what seems to be a fault that many others are having.
