| While driving the car with the dsg transmission in manual shift (tiptronic) mode, the car is supposed to downshift automatically as the car slows down. i have had 2 instances when the car would slow down, the transmission would downshift (as it should) to 4th gear and the instrument cluster multi-function display indicates 4th gear but when i accelerate to get the car moving again, the car feels like it is stuck in neutral, i.e., the engine revs but the momentum does not increase. solution: i have found that manually pushing the shifter lever down to shift into 3rd gear engages 3rd gear and gets the car going again. | |||

| While accelerating normally from a stop sign in sport mode (sport mode for responsiveness, not a drag race), the car jerked while shifting from first to second gear. it was a half second hesitation but noticeably lost power and recovered but noticeable enough for me to report it. | |||

| Twice the car goes into reverse in all six gears. it happens when i try to come out of a full stop. it happens on flat ground. the first time it seemed to fix itself after about 10 minutes of my fiddling, but i can't see what i did to make it work. i had stopped quite a few times between one time and another and it worked perfectly well. the time between the first incident and the second was 13 days | |||
