GTI Drivers Edition 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,000 miles

The transmission slips intermittently. The car will rev up to 6000 rpm or so when the accelerator is depressed but the car will not accelerate. The car is an automatic (DSG) but this is like a manual trans car with a badly slipping clutch.

The dealer advised everything is functioning as it should -no fix. Very frustrating and a safety hazard. I was almost hit the other day pulling into traffic.
