Description of the problem	Purchased a new 2011 audi a3 tdi last saturday. The following friday while pulling out into an intersection the dsg transmission briefly went into neutral and i saw the tachometer needle shoot up and heard the engine whine. I was in manual mode at the time. I down shifted and let off the gas and it re-engaged. The following day (today) the same thing happened again. This time i was also in manual mode and was again pulling out into traffic from an almost complete stop. I will be calling the dealer monday, but in the meantime i have since learned that this is an ongoing and known issue with vw / audi dsg transmissions.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
