| Description of the problem | Vw gti 2010 dsg auto transmission loss of power. 8 months with vehicle, had 5 emergencies on intersection cross, the gti will increase engine revolution but the car will not move for about 4 seconds, then it will launch almost burning tires. Now the car started to act the same way when you are shifting down from 5 to 4 or from 4 to 3rd gear, it looses power for about 4 seconds before it picks up power again. This situation has put me and family into serious hazard in a highway. Hope vw will resolve this issue soon. Cars is now (10/16/2010) on a dealer for the second time for technicians to check it again. Ps.: car presented the same problem on 1st gear since day one with 10 miles out of the dealership. Thank you for your attention. |
