What owners wrote
VW jetta reverse / forward action error. Malfunction of car electronics / mechanics causing sudden acceleration and surging.
My DSG transmission is throwing codes 18232-pressure control valve 3 n217 and pressure control valve 3 n215. Transmission reverse will stop working. Have to tun off car and tunr on will work. Also driving high speeds in freeway car begins to slip gears and then swithes to n. Have to ry and pull over on side. Turn off car and turn back on. Car will then work in limp mode. Appapernetly this is a know issues with DSG trans but my VIN is not reported to to qualify?
