What owners wrote
Driving down road at normal speeds(55-65) an annoying clunking consistently going on under front drivers side of car. Taken it to sendell volkswagen 4-5 times now and a cv shaft is bad but they say volkswagen of america refused repair and said drive it til it breaks or gets worse! And a clunking noise is coming from transaxle at light throttle at 55-60 and other speeds with the DSG gearbox. They heard it and `can't seem to put their finger on it' so they stuffed foam under panels inside car to deaden the noise.
Transmission slips extremely badly even though it doesnt even have 90k miles almost makes it impossible to drive in city and is dangerous when needing to speed up and slow down. Transmission slips more when speeding up from slow speeds and will reach high rpms of 4700 even when not touching the gas but I have had it slip on the highway out of nowhere and it peaked at 7300 RPM when not touching the gas which is past the redline on the rpms.
