There has been a recall in the US for DSG cars made around 2008 for a sensor replacement that caused the car to jump out of gear on its own.

That's the only one I'm aware of.

Yes indeed , mines does this every now & again? I have  pulled out of a Jct and nothing happens, then it suddenly jumps into gear!! very scarey :shocked:!! My car hasnt done it for a couple months now? Thanks God. Mines a 58 plateED30.

At the time i thought this guy was going to crash into me when pulling out of the JCT  :sick:

They've taken their time sending out the recalls, I made a reference to the recall in Novemeber  :angry:
