Gearbox Malfunction

[shawndama]

"Gearbox malfunction" appear on my dash but still says "you may still driving the vehicle"? Anyone have this problem?

I have had this message three times. I called the dealer the first time it happened. They said there is a duplicate sensor that MUST agree with the primary sensor or you get the message "gearbox malfunction". They ordered a part and replaced the primary sensor.

You want to head to the dealership and have the codes pulled to find out what may be malfunctioning. Very hard to say what the issue might be without pulling those. If you know anyone with VCDS (Vagcom) they could quickly pull those codes for you as well.

Good luck,
