2006 Audi A4 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2006 audi a4, automatic-triptonic transmission, 2.0 turbo and I am the second owner of the vehicle. The previous owner purchased the car in oct 2005 and in late 2006, the transmission broke down and audi had repaired it at no charge at an audi service center. I bought the car on oct 2007 and by mid-2008, the vehicle stalled and jolted in a very busy parking lot with my 2 young children in the back. My husband decided to drop us off and tried to drive the car home because he knew there was something seriously wrong with the car as it jolted and loud popping mechanical sounds began emitting from the front. He was near our house when the car gave up and would no longer accelerate. Imagine if this would have happened on the freeway! Absolutely horrendous that audi would only recall the newer cars when obviously previous models have the same type of gearbox in question. I will be getting the car fixed and definitely will be trading the car in to get a non vw/audi car. I honestly wish I could just tell them to trash it because I wouldn't want anyone driving this car, even after I've fixed it. If it happened once, it may happen again.
Extreme vibrations are occurring while vehicle is stopped and in gear. This problem has existed since I drove it off the lot new. It now has only 40,000 miles. The vibration levels vary and can fluctuate. When vibrations are high the vibration is nauseating occurs every day. Dealer states audi will not deal with this problem as it may require replacement of the automatic transmission.
I was driving my 2006 audi a4 from pittsburgh to va monday 1/18/09. Approx 2 hrs into the drive, while descending a hill on interstate 70 I went to brake to slow down and the car began to accelerate instead. I had been driving in the 6th gear of the tiptronic mode. So I threw it over to drive mode instead thinking maybe something wrong with the other mode. It continued to accelerate as I applied the brake I could hear the acceleration continuing and when removing my foot from brake the car took off until I hit brake again. Panicked I tried to get over from the passing lane to the side of the road. I had to navigate between a car I almost hit and an 18 wheeler. Once over on side I threw on emergency brake and could still hear and feel car accelerating. I turned off the vehicle to stop it completely. I was scared to death and shaking. I immediately checked the floor to see if something had obstructed the gas area. All mats were in place and nothing appeared unusual. I then checked for my cruise control. I have never used it in this car and actually had to find the lever. Thought maybe I bumped it while using the wipers. The cc is on the other side and no where near anything I would have touched. I called audi roadside and they towed it to frederick md. I called audi customer service the next morning to alert them. They seemed responsive and concerned. The audi dealership could not find any problems. They said they tried to replicate it. I asked if that meant they drove it at night for 2 hours in 13 degree weather in the 6th gear of tiptronic mode? They said no they conducted computer tests and found nothing. I had to pick up my car that I am now terrified to drive. I am still waiting to hear back from audi customer service person who now seems to not be returning my calls. This is unacceptable to me & I need to find answers &/or get another vehicle I no longer feel safe in this car. I read similar complaints on the federal safety agency site for this car & year.
