THink of this scenario, which is likely to happen to a DSG and not other gearboxes.. you are cruising on the highway at 110km/h on 5th gear with a truck following you. Most people would think that if you have a gearbox problem, you would cruised to a standstill in neutral. So people are wondering how she could have gotten hit. What if the DSG switched from 5th to 1st or 2nd gear (it's all electronically controlled and not locked in place by mechanical means). That would lock wheels when the engine over revs. It will not be a gradual slowing down. The reports of the accident stated sudden slow down and not a normal 'switch to neutral' and cruise type slow down. This could happen to any faulty DSG.
