Description of the problem	My car, an automatic dsg transmission from vw, got stuck in 6th gear on northbound 1-15, almost causing several accidents. The check engine light appeared and a code was "thrown," but the event was dismissed as a potential issue with the mass airflow sensor. Since then, i have experienced extremely hard shifts and unreliable acceleration with my vehicle. Especially on hills. The mechatronics unit has been replaced and the car was returned to me as "good to go." i drove the car one mile, the issue persisted, and i returned it to the dealer. There is clearly a problem with the mechatronics unit and the clutches, but the dealer will not replace them correctly (under warranty). Each time i am told my car is "fixed," i pick it up, drive it and it still has the shifting issues.
