	Dsg transmission issues: when making a left hand turn across traffic, i coasted up to the light when it was my turn, then i pressed the accelerator and the car had no power. it crossed through the intersection at approximately 1 to 2 mph. it took 5 to 10 seconds for the power to return. it felt like if you are driving a manual transmission and have the car in 4th or 5th gear when trying to start moving. this has happened at quite a few intersections. also it happened when i was accelerating then had to release the accelerator due to a vehicle slowing in front of me, i re engaged the accelerator and there was no power for 5 to 10 seconds. *tr

	We just bought a new 2013 volkswagon jetta sports wagon with diesel tdi engine and dsg transmission. driving the car home from the dealer the transmission failed at 110 miles on the odometer. it has been towed to the dealer and they tell me that the mechatronic unit has failed. the symptom of the failure was that the transmission seemed to shift into nuetral with no notice and the car had severally reduced power available (less than 10 mph). research on the internet shows that volkwagon has had problems with this before. it seems very serious to me to have something like this fail on a brand new vehicle.
