Description of the problem	10/21/2020 - i was driving on the freeway in stop & go traffic when i went to go again the car just revved but did not go under power. The hybrid light came on & the gear indicator started to flash. I was able to pull to the side of the road safely & tried to put it in reverse & also tried to use the manual shifting option to see if that would work, again no movement. Had it towed to a local shop that works on volkswagens & audis. Upon unloading the vehicle off of the tow truck i noticed fresh fluid on the bed of the truck toward the drivers side front. I did not think anything of it because when i pulled off of the freeway i did not see any fluids leaking from the vehicle. 10/22/2020 - the shop pulled a code that indicated low pressure in the transmission. He mentioned a recall that came up of 34j6. I told them that after dropping the vehicle the night before that i lifted the hood and saw what looked like some sort of fluid spray near the drivers side front. I called vw care hotline and asked about 34j6 recall, my car is not part of that recall 10/26/2020 - the shop called to let me know that they did a visual inspection & they found the cover for the mechatronic unit lifted off and even pulled over 2 bolts that hold it onto the transmission. He said based on that he mentioned recall 34j6 & that a vw dealer should do the work. Had the car towed to hansel vw in santa rosa, ca. Met the car at the dealership to have them write a diagnosis work order, roughly up to $400 to diagnose what happened 10/28/2020 - hansel's service advisor called to let me know that the cover of the m. U. Had pulled away & that something internal happened. The advisor or the technicican called vw america to inquire about replacing the m. U. Only to be told it would require a full transmission replacement. Waiting on an estimate from them on a new transmission.

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.
