I drive a 2008 audi tt 2.0t with the dsg gearbox. When I try to accelerate quickly or move my automatic transmission from drive to sport there are times when my car feels like it shifts in to neutral instead of down shifting into the next lower gear. There are also times at low speed when the car will have a harsh shift from first to second and occasionally the automatic transmission will almost stall when trying to start from a stop on a hill. This problem occurs sporadically while I am driving and appears to correct itself. When the car seems to fall out of gear and it feels like I am in neutral I let me foot off of the gas and a few seconds later the transmission will reengage in the appropriate gear and I have the ability to accelerate again. This condition has not LED to any serious issues yet but there have been a few times when I have been in the middle of a lane change and stepped on the gas and the car drops in to neutral. This has LED to at least one near accident but no accidents have occurred. I have not had the problem looked at yet because it comes and goes at random but I have my 25000 mile service scheduled on july 31st and I was going to inform the audi dealer of the problem and have them look into it.

This car has stalled 3 times this year while driving when all lights went off , motor died , power steering died and I could not maneuver the car anymore. *nm 1. Jan 23,2005 I was driving when the car all of a sudden died. Luckily I was just approaching a stop light so I was able to get to the side of the road safely. I had the car towed . The service told me that it was a bad battery and the car is fine now. 2. Nov 10, 2005 I was driving at night on a windy country road when the same happened this time at a speed of about 50 MPH. Lights off, motor died, no steering power, no emergency lights. I do not know how I survived this incident since within a second I didn't know where I was nor where I was going. I ended up in the middle of the road trying to get the car off the street asap since I was just behind a sharp curve. I had the car towed the next day. 3. On dec 3 they called and told me the car is fixed and I can pick it up. I asked if someone could give me a ride to another location where I wanted to drop off the car I came with. The service manager himself took the car to drop it off and while he was driving the same happened to him. The car died in the middle of the street. 4. He called me and told me now it??s the alternator which needs to be replaced. I will pick up the car tomorrow. It??s fixed. ????????? I do not feel comfortable to drive this car anymore. The same thing happened 3 times of which one time I almost died. I??m pretty sure that it will happen again and this time I might not survive. The reason why I think that it will happen again? The car had the same issue 3 times, it just died in the middle of driving. The service came up each time with a different explanation. First time the battery, second time ??, third time the alternator. None of them justify that a car dies just like that , while I??m driving. All three times it had rained the days before.
