Description of the problem	The dsg transmission on my 2007 volkswagen gti quit operating on several occasions. Once while attempting to the leave a stop light, once while exiting a freeway, and once while attempting to drive up a short paved hill to my home. On all occasions, the car suddenly lurches and then loses ability to move. The engine continues to run, but the car acts as though there is a disconnect between the engine and transmission. Luckily i have been able to coast to the side to avoid being hit by other vehicles. Repeated (and long trips) to the dealer have produced claims by the dealer that the faults lie in having less than 1/4 tank of gas, fuel pressure sensors, and my favorite, a short which required tearing my entire dash apart. I finally traded the car because it became a liability. Incident dates are approx as the car has spent a lot of the last year in the shop. The most recent incident occurred in may 2009.
