VW DSG Transmission Problem Leads to Recall
By Christopher Jensen
Volkswagen is recalling 13,500 of its 2009 and a few 2010 models because of a problem with its fast-shifting DSG automatic transmission. The vehicles covered are the Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, GTI, and Eos built between September 2008 and August 2009.

“A small number of these may be affected by a faulty temperature sensor in the DSG transmission,” Volkswagen said Thursday. “Failure of the temperature sensor could result in illuminated warning lamps in the dashboard, and in rare instances the transmission may shift into neutral.”

In July the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a defect investigation into the DSG on those models after consumers complained to the agency about a loss of power while driving. That investigation covered 2008 and 2009 models. Rae Tyson, a N.H.T.S.A. spokesman, said the investigation would not be closed until the agency is sure there is not a problem with the 2008 models, too. However, Thomas Wegehaupt, a spokesman for VW, said the automaker has determined the 2008 models do not have the problem.
