I have a 2014 gli autobahn with the paddle shifters and the sports mode option. Today I engaged the sports mode option and the vehicle's RPM were almost redlining but it will take awhile to feel the shifting on the trans. I am worried that this may be a problem to the trans on this vehicle. The second problem that I am having I believe is the suspension due to the smoothness of the vehicle is no longer their. I have not taken the vehicle to the dealership yet but will soon. Please advise if any others have complained about the same issues that I am having. Thanks.

Dsg gearbox changed into a low gear causing the diesel engine RPM to increase to 4500rpm. The resultant engine braking caused me to slow down. I had to abandon overtaking and cross two lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder to avoid impediing faster moving traffic.
On thursday, may 29th, I was driving my 2014 vw jetta hybrid sel premium (~165 miles on odometer) when the epc and battery light came on the dash. At the same time, the gas engine shut off. I was able to get the vehicle to restart. Same issue happened two additional times before I got the vehicle to the dealership the next morning. I picked up the vehicle monday, june 2nd, from the dealership (~387 miles on odometer) stating that the vehicle was in working order and they could not get the problem to duplicate. The dealership put approximately 200 miles on the new vehicle to diagnose it. About an hour after picking up the vehicle (~393 miles on odometer), the vehicle did the exact same thing, except this time I was in a parking lot. The vehicle is back at the dealer and they are having an engineer come and diagnose the vehicle.
