I bought this vehicle in 2015, it had 72k miles then, now it has 90k miles. The last 1 year i have been having issues with the vehicle jerking when it warms up enough especially when i get to a stop light and start driving, often times the engine revvs up so much as if someone hit me from behind and then settles down.

I noticed the engine light went on few weeks ago then the shafts' lights started turning on all at the same time (p-r-n-d). The car was moving and a knocking sound started when the weather gets hot. I took it to couple of car shop services and non was able to demonstrate the problem but rather, they offered to change the whole transmission for +4,500 dollars so that they would work it simply with a good profit!…

While this was happening, the engine would suddenly reengage, causing the car to surge and buck. The transmission would then slip again, and the engine surging and vehicle bucking cycle would continue. Symptoms of the dsg transmission failure…
