When I make a right hand turn and it's in 3rd gear, and get on the gas it just spins. I have to go down a gear for it to move. It doesn't do this all the time. It's happened about 4-5 times.

Interesting. Again, it doesn't do it all the time. And when it did do it, I don't remember running it hard before hand or anything like that. It just did it out of the blue. Was making a right hand turn in third gear and when I accelerated it started to spin. Car didn't move at all until I put it in second gear.

wow i see you have a 2012 how manys do you have?
i have a 2011 with 5k

i assume the dsg uses oil pressure like any other tranny. The fuild might be thin..idk or maybe like i said its the heat.. its been 104 -106index
maybe the car pulled timing..

now that think it when it was cold it upshifted good but once i let off.. the rpms would come back down slow.. after a couple of runs it would seem normal..

I think mine did this the other night while I was manually shifting from 3rd to 4th. Haven't been able to duplicate the problem but hv only 6k miles on my 2012. I've read other threads about this but I hope this isn't happening. 1st the frame bolts were loose now this. I'm not liking what I'm seeing from the 2012 cc.

I posted a topic about this as well. Was planning on taking my car in next week for the courteous check-up with only 900 miles on it! Same thing happened twice in 3rd gear while rounding a corner. Seems like it slipped into a "neutral" spot and just revved up until I shifted back to the automatic mode.

Only did it twice but what I do now in the DSG mode is downshift into third while rounding the corner and left the tranny engage before I step on the gas. So far it works and seems to shift better.

I did explain to the dealer about the slippage and they just gave me some lame excuses, so I am taking it to another dealership for a "second" opinion. I spoke to VOA about it along with other issues regarding my CC and they reassured me that any dealer I take it to they will take care of any concerns I may have....so we shall see about that.
