I've experienced issues when trying to shift gears, most recently when putting the car in reverse from drive, the dashboard started flashing and it lost all power as if it were disengaged or in neutral. I took the car into a dealer as this is a safety issue and was told that there was a recall on this issue for my VIN ( campaign 09v333000), but that it had already been repaired prior to my ownership, which does not seem to be the case.

The transmission slips violently between 2 nd and 3 rd gear. There was a complete loss of power with the pedal down completely. After research have discovered that the design of these triptonic transmissions which can be switched from manual to automatic are faulty and costly to repair. I am considering a valve body replacement which may or may not fix the problem. Audi does not stand behind their product. This is a common problem among audi owners.

In november of 2010, I was driving in my 2004 1.8 audi tt at approximately 45 miles per hour. Without warning, the car lost all power in the middle of the road. Fortunately, the car lost power at 1:00 am or I may have been easily hit/killed by the heavy flow of daytime traffic. As it turns out, there was an ignition coil recall on my vehicle. I never received notice of such recall and as a result, was put in danger by operating a vehicle with a known defect and suffered over two thousand dollars in related repair expense. The mechanic at audi told me my fuel pump, collant temp sensor, crank sensor and ignition coil needed to be replaced. He was quite surprised the the previous audi dealership did not correct the recall during routine service. My vehicle was perfectly maintained, serviced by an audi dealership and had approximately 32,000 miles. Failure of audi to notify me of the recall and failure of the audi dealership to correct the ignition coil during routine service could have resulted in grave injury. Both audi corp and the individual audi dealership displayed a careless disregard for my safety and any others who may have been impacted by my vehicle failure.

This is the utmost frustrating serial of incident I have ever encountered with an auto manufacture company - audi. I have tried to put my faith and safety again with audi, but they have completely failed me leaving me and family in dangerous and paranoia. My audi 2009 tts was problem free until 4,000 miles. Out of ordinary, the engine light came on and the dealership informed me that the fuel seal was leaking and needed replacement. This incident was very similar with my 2009 a3 incident (odi #10281829). I have since been extremely paranoid with my new tts as the a3 had left me very frightening experience as it had completely lost power on the highway. At around 14,000 miles, I have noticed a ticking sound by the rear driver area. This was the area that the dealership had worked on at 5,000 miles with the replacement of fuel seal. I have not think much of it as the car was still running and it was approaching the next service interval and I thought I can just have the dealership check this problem then. However, today, I was driving locally with my grandmother in las vegas. The ticking sound was still there and the tts once again completely failed on the local street. I was traveling on the local street in the far left lane at around 45 MPH, the car started to jerk and the check engine light was on. Then the engine completely shut down in the middle!! I did not want to stop in the middle of the traffic and I have turned on my emergency light and cruise to a stop in the middle lane. My grandmother and I was in complete shock, I cannot believe this is happening to me again with another audi car. Twice in 10 months. Luckily, the engine restarts and the check engine light was no longer on, but I could smell a whip of gasoline. I have stop by a gas station to see where is this smell was coming from. It was coming from the left exhaust pipe. I am completely frustrated and I will never purchase and trust audi with my life. This cannot happen.

Recently purchased an audi tt 3.2 v6 2004 dsg model. 51k on the clock. Whilst driving along the motorway suddenly the car seems like its been thrown into neutral and a sudden loss of power. No warning, no engine management light, nothing. This keeps happending sporadically approx twice a day and according to audi it seems as though im going to have to cough up for a new gearbox which I deem to be totally unacceptable. Surely this must require audi to review the dsg gearbox.???
