Description of the problem	Today my audi a3 2. 0t went into neutral while at highway speed. We were merging from i-80 to i-55. Without warning or any indicator lights we lost power. The engine was running and the shifter in d-drive but no power was going to the wheels. We were able to get out of traffic on the ramp but it was a close call with the car behind us almost hitting us. The car exhibited the same problem about a half hour before at a gas stop but i turned the car off and the car functioned normally. The dash indicators flashed dnrs when we tried to move again. While waiting for the tow truck i looked up recalls and it seems the 2007-2009 a3 have recall for this issue as do other audi models with the same dsg transmission. There are dozens of complaints listed here for this same issue. Why is not the 2006 recalled as well? This is a problem that put my wife and i in harms way. Even more disturbing is this is a known issue.
