Description of the problem	A few months back an error came up on my dash saying "hybrid workshop." i called the dealership and they said it was regular for my car to say that at about 68k and that i would soon need a hybrid systems check. That light went off the very next day so i didn't stress it. Soon after my car began acting funny when coming to complete stops, the vehicle would jolt back into motion causing a hard breaking motion to occur. Soon after my transmission failed as i was parking. I was in reverse and the car suddenly stopped reversing and began to rev loudly before jumping back into reverse and then back to revving. After transmission failure, i brought it to the dealer and the dealership said it may be my mechatronics unit, after taking the mechatronics unit out they determined it was indeed the transmission. I've read of a recall for this very same problem hundreds of times online after searching it, yet my vin isn't connected to any recalls on vws website.
