Description of the problem	I took my car to gunther volkswagen in ft lauderdale, fl. My automatic dsg transmission was not shifting into gear on many occasions as i was driving, parking stopped at a light. On several occasions this problem had resulted in some near accidents with other cars, and on two occasions i had hit a pole and a wall. The near accidents with cars had occurred in parking situations as well as on the street at traffic lights when my car would not move and cars behind me almost hit me. Another occasion my car would not move when i was at an intersection waiting for traffic to clear to turn left, and the light changed. When this problem was occurring the shift indicator letters in the electronic display would flash with boxes around them. It was discovered by the dealer that the transmission problem i was having was the subject of a voluntary recall by volkswagen. I was told that the mechatronic unit of my transmission would be replaced under this voluntary recall as well as the other fuse recall. Later in the day i was called by car dealership and they informed me that the fuse recall work would be done but the transmission recall would not be done because my car had a rebuilt title. The car had been in an accident where it sustained damage to right front suspension and insurance company had paid out claim and declared vehicle a total loss. I bought "salvaged" vehicle and repaired damage for under $1,000 and retitled (rebuilt) vehicle under florida law. According to what i have read on nhtsa website if vehicle is on the road and being driven around manufacturers are required to perform recall repairs on them. The recall on this transmission issue was subject of an investigation by nhtsa (action number peo9035) several accidents had occurred because of it but no injuries were reported. Can you please advise if vw is required to repair my vehicle under this voluntary recall?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
