Description of the problem	Recall 19v866000 "volkswagen group of america, inc (volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 jetta hybrid vehicles manufactured october 2012 through october 2013 and equipped with a dq-200 direct-shift gearbox. Due to gearbox fluid additives, the control module within the gearbox may corrode. The deposits from this corrosion may cause an electrical short and result in a stall-like condition." my 2013 vw jetta hybrid is showing the same symptoms as this recall. At 125k miles, i had to limp it into the vw dealership after only odd gears would engage. Driving down the road or trying to get onto the highway or at a complete stop. The transmission would loose power and the car would have to be pulled to the side of the road to be shut down and restarted multiple times. The dealership is unable to fix the transmission as well as any other transmission shop because vw does not sell parts to the transmission because it is a "trade secret". A new transmission is $6000 and by the blogs people post with this exact trouble, the transmission does not last more than ~100k miles.
