Description of the problem	Conditions: 20 degrees, sunny, louisville, kentucky. Vehicle: 2010 vw gti 4-dr w/dsg transmission. Currently 263 miles on the odometer. Backed out of my garage, put the car in drive (d), and proceeded down my driveway. Began driving out my subdivision and noticed the engine rpms were getting louder and the car appeared to be stuck in 1st gear. I put the dsg transmission in both manual mode and sport mode, tried to manually shift the vehicle into another gear, but had no success. Stopped the car, turned it off, waited a few minutes, started the car, started driving again. Same behavior... The car would only run in 1st gear. Proceeded to turn around to get the vehicle back to my house only to learn that reverse was not working. Contacted vw roadside assistance and had them tow the car to the local vw dealership. Service is closed until monday, 1/4/2010, so will not know next steps until then. Confirmed manufacture date of this 2010 vw gti was 07/2009 (apparently within the time frame vw has indicated there were manufacturing issues with the dsg transmission). The symptom of the failure i experienced is far different than the current recall from vw (cars shifting into neutral). In this case, my car simply would not shift out of 1st gear and also would not work in reverse). Believe the vw dsg transmission issue is only going to expand. Would like to see the nhtsa further investigate this matter with vw to ensure all affected transmissions are replaced. Regards, brian pearson

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
