Description of the problem	Purchased used 2009 vw gti with dsg transmission on 03 aug 13. On 06 aug 13 upon braking and turning a corner the transmission seemingly dropped out of gear, engine revved freely, the transmission re-engaged with a loud clunk in the driveline. Over the next week the frequency of this same problem happening increased until 12 aug 13. On 12 aug 13 the transmission would take several seconds(upwards of 30) to engage either 1st or reverse and in doing so would again clunk on engagement. Also, while driving on a state highway at 55 mph the transmission downshifted to an unknown gear, the lights on the shift indicator started to flash, and the transmission would not shift. Had to pull to the shoulder and turn off the engine and restart to continue. Within one mile the same process had to be repeated. This continued for the rest of the 10 mile trip to my home. This car is one that was affected by the recall. The recall has been performed on this car but obviously still has issues. Car will be taken to a dealership on 16 aug 13 to have it diagnosed.
