it doesn't seem to be that bad, the earlier ones (up to 2012) possibly had a trtans. input speed sensor that may have gone faulty. As it's deep into the trans. it costs a bit to replace, and the sensor was something like $240 so a bill of $2-2.5K was a shock, at least to me. I don't have a DCT, but I don't have a problem about transmission now, if I were looking at buying one.



Other times it got a bad rap, the trans would do strange stuff and the townfolk were out with their pitchforks, but recently it's come to light that one fella here on FFAU, had actual decent dealership support/tech, and it was diagnosed as an EGR faulting. The trans didn't know how to interpret the input and gave issue, but it was the EGR valve causing the problem. Replacing the EGR and it's not been a problem again.



I wonder how many others had this problem, but fingered the trans. and tarnished the namesake.
