| Description of the problem | 2 incidents: sept 2009, dsg transmission flashed prnds and shifted into low gear. Oct 21 2009, dsg transmission flashed d and shifted into neutral. In the 1st incident, i was driving about 45 mph, and had shifted to neutral. When shifting back to drive, the dashboard flashed the prnds lights at me and the transmission shifted to a very low gear (2nd?), making the car redline and slowing the car abruptly on a busy street. The car would not respond correctly until turned off and restarted. (dangerous while driving). In the 2nd incident, while parked i shifted from p to d. The car flashed d on the dashboard and remained in neutral. There was no immediate danger. Again, i had to turn off the car to reset the problem. I don't know if drive can become disengaged while driving though, particularly since i had the previous incident. |
