tranny issues.
read the fsm. then the on car service, section
Assuming it is not a heat or fluid problem I expect it lies within the electronics of the tranny. When you turn the car off/on you tend to re-boot the tranny's ECU and the problem is then cleared, much like we find on a home PC (at least my home PC) I'd get it by a dealer, I believe there are codes the dealer can read for any issues.
Sounds like the filter might be plugging up. I would have it serviced. Do you have a check engine light on? How long do you have to leave the engine off before it will start moving again?
The trannys on the vw's are weird, they actually have a brain which tells the tranny what to do, when to switch gears under the driving conditions etc. Is thair a check engine light on? when is the last time you had a tranny service done on it? Also, it sounds even weirder, but is your alternator ok, is it putting out the proper volts to the battery? the alternator not charging the system can lead to alot of weird acting issues.
The air bags need to be worked on by a pro. Did you check the tranny fluid? If not do so and add if needed. If the tranny fluid is fine then start checking all of the vacume lines.
You need to do a full service of the tranny. You need a filter change,and a fell flush of the tranny. Make sure you are using the right tranny fluid for it as well.
service the tranny.new oil and filter. the filter picks up trash and metal from clutches inside the tranny as they wear so ocationally the trans fluid needs to be changed.over haul the tranny if this doesnt work.
