Description of the problem	Dsg transmission in 2008 vw eos began lurching/hesitating and dropping into neutral at 12,000 mi. By 15,000 mi. Car couldn't be driven in bumper to bumper traffic without bucking like a bronco. Several times when merging at highway speeds, car would lose complete power as the trans shifted to neutral without warning. Backing up, especially with any incline, was another lurching affair, much like a new driver attempting to drive a manual trans for the first time. Taking of from a stoplight was hit or miss. Car would lurch and hesitate, causing drivers behind me to slam on brakes as i lost power. Very dangerous and uneasy feeling. Vw dealer determined problem was caused by a failed mechatronics unit in the dsg. Was replaced under warranty at approx. 16,000 miles. Old part was not made available.
