• Recall 74193 [USA]: The abrupt shift to neutral could lead to a crash without warning.
  Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 passenger cars manufactured between september 2008 and august 2009. The wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the direct shift gearbox (dsg) may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped. With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to neutral. If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash. In addition, the "depress brake pedal" indicator light will be illuminated, alerting the driver to apply the brakes.
  volkswagen will reprogram the transmission control module with updated software free of charge. The recall began on october 20, 2009. Owners may contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.

• Recall 2009249 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain audi a3, tt, tt roadster, and volkswagen eos, golf wagon, gti, jetta and jetta wagon equipped with a direct-shift gearbox (dsg), the wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the dsg may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped during assembly. As such, the temperature sensor could falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to the neutral position. A loss of propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will reprogram the transmission control module with updated software..

• Recall 2009278 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain audi a3 quattro, tt quattro and tt quattro roadster, the closing force of an internal spring of the fuel tank ventilation valve is not adequate enough to hold the valve closed under extreme conditions. During certain driving manoeuvres, liquid fuel may enter the fuel tank venting system and migrate into the evaporative system, saturating the carbon canister. Should this occur while driving, the vehicle may experience performance issues (i.E. Vehicle jerking) and the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) in the instrument cluster could illuminate. In certain instances, fuel could leak from the evaporative system leak detection pump filter. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will replace the fuel tank ventilation valve with an improved version.

• Vehicle stall/loss motive power investigation # PE09035

  The subject vehicles are equipped with direct shift gearbox (dsg) transmissions, which feature a 6-speed automatic gearbox with two wet running clutches (dual clutch) in which the clutch mechanism and gear changes are electrohydraulically operated by a mechatronic control unit.The dsg mechatronic controller includes extensive self diagnostic functions and strategies to ensure safe operation and prevent system/component damage in the event of component failures or harsh operating conditions.The basic hierarchy of fault modes includes some that only result in the storage of a diagnostic trouble code (dtc) and cause no loss of function, some that store a dtc and reduce vehicle operation to a limp home mode, and some that store a dtc and cause an interruption of motive power (i.E., open clutch).The driver is alerted to the latter two modes by the dash gear position indicator (prnds) flashing. One of the conditions that results in interruption of motive power is excess gearbox temperature.The system initially responds to increased gearbox temperature by ramping down engine torque.If the temperature keeps rising the mechatronic unit responds by opening the clutch.In a defect information report submitted to nhtsa on august 20, 2009, volkswagen described a potential defect in the wiring harnesses of the dsg gearbox temperature sensors used in approximately 16,000 model year (my) 2009 and 2010 volkswagen (eos, jetta and gti) and audi (a3 and tt/tt roadster) vehicles equipped with dsg transmissions and built from september 2008 through august 2009 (nhtsa recall no. 09v-333, volkswagen recall no. 37e3/s7 and audi recall no 37e4/j7). Volkswagen provided this description of the defect, "the wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the dsg may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped by the connector supplier during a limited production period.With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to neutral.If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash.In addition, the depress brake pedal indicator light will be illuminated, alerting the driver to apply the brakes.In heavy traffic, the abrupt shift to neutral could lead to a crash without warning."volkswagen estimated that less than one percent of the recalled vehicles may contain the defect condition. Odi identified 40 complaints that appear to be related to the temperature sensor defect condition described by volkswagen.Volkswagen received 139 complaints related to the condition, with 7 involving vehicles reported to odi, resulting a 172 total complaints to odi and volkswagen.All of these complaints involve the my 2009 an 2010 vehicles subject to recall 09v-333. Odi also identified complaints of harsh/jerky shifting in some volkswagen vehicles with dsg.Volkswagen attributed this condition, which typically occurs at very low speeds, to excessive wear in the bushings of the two solenoid valves in the mechatronic unit that control clutch operation.Volkswagen does not believe that the this condition is a safety defect because the changes in shift quality develop gradually over time, do not cause a loss of motive power and have not resulted in any fatalities, injuries or serious crashes (there were three reported property damage incidents resulting in minor body damage in very low speed, parking maneuvers).Volkswagen addressed this problem in the field with a customer service program that includes the replacement of potentially affected mechatronic units as well as a 10 year/100,000 mile extended warranty.This investigation is closed with volkswagens recall of the defect condition that may result in a loss of motive power while driving.

Had issues with the rear taillights grounding issue causing the ground in the connector to melt and short out causing the taillight to no longer work. This was an issue first on the driver side then the other 6 months later. Both repaired locally by adding an additional ground wire and replacing the connectors.

I've experienced issues when trying to shift gears, most recently when putting the car in reverse from drive, the dashboard started flashing and it lost all power as if it were disengaged or in neutral. I took the car into a dealer as this is a safety issue and was told that there was a recall on this issue for my vin ( campaign 09v333000), but that it had already been repaired prior to my ownership, which does not seem to be the case.

Clunk and noise from dsg transmission when accelerate from stop in d position or from 2nd to 1st gear for slowing down. I think it is mechatronic issues for those year vw audi dsgs. It's out of warranty but still can be covered by recall?

A defective passenger side window sprocket in the pulley assembly caused the window to jam in a halfway open position which caused a dangerous visilibility condition while operating the vehicle in a snowstorm. The vehicle was literally approximately 36 hours past the time duration of the factory standard warranty period therefore audi refused to assume liability for the window pulley assembly's failure. *tr

I accelerated the car and i was unable to stop it. I applied the brakes and the car just kept on going. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 audi tt. The contact stated that the convertible top failed to close entirely, open, or close. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the flap motors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repair however the failure persisted. The contact mentioned that the convertible top was repaired on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 43,900.

2009 tt roadster audi engine caught fire while driving. The consumer stated he heard a pop in the engine compartment and immediately saw thick dark smoke coming from the front of the vehicle. He pulled over and within 30 seconds the engine area was engulfed in flames. In 30 minutes the vehicle was completely destroyed. The consumer suspected the battery coil pack failed. *jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 audi tt 2.0t. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power, the brakes and the power steering failed. The vehicle coasted and then stopped. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealership where the steering column, computer control panel and the ignition system were repaired. Three days later, the failure occurred again almost causing a crash. The vehicle was towed to a different dealership where the relay was replaced. The contact called the manufacturer who offered no assistance. The current mileage was approximately 7,100. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

The car was driving fine during the day. During the evening i was maneuvering the car to park. When i put the car into reverse, the prnds indicators started flashing. The car would not move in any of the gears while this was occurring. I had to restart the car off to be able to move the car. I brought the car into the dealership and they replaced the mechatronics unit of the car. The same issue occurred about a week after my car was returned to me. I brought the car back and was told that it was due to a low level of transmission fluid. The car was returned to me and the problem showed up a week later. I am scheduled to bring the car back in this coming week. It is an issue with an audi dsg transmission. *tr
