2008 Volkswagen R32 Power Train Manual Transmission Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	736174
Internal NHTSA #	10281470
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	R32
Model Year	2008
File date	01/10/08
Component	POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Random loss of power/torque coming out of dsg transmission when shifting into certain gears, jerky reverse, hesitation starting from stop, jerky downshift to first gear. Hesitation has randomly occured multiple times including at an intersection. Jerking (or pulsating power delivery) during reverse and when downshifting into first is always there. Hesitation when starting from stop is also always present. I believe this probably as something to do with the mechatronics unit of the dsg. I am worried about saftey due to the abnormal behavior of this transmission. Lossing power at an intersection or other critical locations can easily lead to an accident. Also i am afraid that this abnormal behavior is going to lead to transmission problems including but not limited to abnormal clutch pack wear which might need to be replaced later down the line after the 60,000 mile warranty is up.
