Never again will I buy a car with DSG.

Sounds like an engine issue more than a gearbox problem. The mondeo’s dsg doesn’t seem to have the same issues the fiesta and focus boxes do cause they are different. Stalling isn’t caused by a gearbox usually.

I don't think they do the testing like they like they did in previous years.
How many recalls do we see today? Australian cars have had mandatory setbelts for around 50 years, ZB on sale for a couple of months and a recalll for seatblets. ACCC lists 2393 car recalls Toyota 189, Holden 179, Ford 169, Mercedes Benz 156 etc

It seems to be production issues at getrag. Have seen nothing to indicate problems showed in testing, so getrag must have changed something or had quality issues imo.
If anything testing is much more comprehensive now and the protocols are much stricter. And companies can’t get away with the things they used to.
