| Description of the problem | During near full throttle acceleration, car experiences no increased speed. Car will increase rpms, but seems like it is searching for a gear. It is most scary if you need to accelerate in accident avoidance, and the car doesn't go. Very choppy starts from first to second gear, feel like someone doesn't know how to shift a manual gearbox, yet this is a dsg gearbox. |
