POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2004 AUDI TT 3.2 LITER, DSG TRANSMISSION, 32,000 MILES. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY DISCONNECT FROM THE DRIVETRAIN FOR A FEW SECONDS, A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY, OR CROSSING A BUSY STREET. THIS OCCURRED MANY TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF WEEKS, UNTIL I STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. AN ERROR CODE SHOWED A SPEED SENSOR FAILURE, BUT REPLACING THE SENSOR DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ULTIMATELY I HAD TO HAVE THE MECHATRONIC UNIT IN THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AT A COST OF ABOUT 3,200 DOLLARS. I HAVE THE DEFECTIVE MECHATRONIC UNIT IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE DURING THE DAY. DURING THE EVENING I WAS MANEUVERING THE CAR TO PARK. WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, THE PRNDS INDICATORS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY OF THE GEARS WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR OFF TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE MECHATRONICS UNIT OF THE CAR. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO A LOW LEVEL OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME AND THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP A WEEK LATER. I AM SCHEDULED TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN THIS COMING WEEK. IT IS AN ISSUE WITH AN AUDI DSG TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A CPO 2009 AUDI TT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD NOT FIND A GEAR. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE RESTARTED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE . I TOLD THE MECHANIC AT MY 6000 MILE CHECK THAT THE CAR WAS NOT FINDING A GEAR WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. HE THEN SAID THAT ALL THE READINGS FROM THE CAR DID NOT SHOW AN ISSUE. AT MY 16000 MILE SERVICE AGAIN TOLD THE REP THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. HE AGAIN STATED NO ERRORS FOUND. THEN AT 19000 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE KIND OF HARSH AT LOW SPEEDS AND I WAS EXPERIENCING THE FLASHING LIGHTS OF PNRDS MORE OFTEN AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK WHEN SWITCHING TO REVERSE. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DESCRIBED THE ISSUE AGAIN TO MY SERVICE GUY. HE SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. COME TO FIND OUT THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE UNIT AND I WOULD NOT RECEIVE MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. I PICKED UP MY CAR VERIFIED WITH SERVICE REP THE CAR WAS IN GOOD STANDING WITH WARRANTY RECALLS HE ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THE ISSUE HAD BEEN CORRECTED. I HAD THE CAR FOR NO MORE THAN 12 HOURS BEFORE THE FLASH OF DEATH PNRDS APPEARED EXCEPT THIS TIME I ALMOST ROLLED INTO A CAR WHILE PARKING. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE REP TO DISCUSS THAT THIS IS SOME BS. SO I TOOK THE CAR IN AND HE SAID SOME BS HOW HE TOOK THE CAR TO SOME AUDI CAR MAINTENANCE GUY AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION ADDITION, I NOTICED THAT WHEN MOVING THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK THAT WAS A DOUBLE CLICKING SOUND AND WHAT CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED A DOUBLE LURCHING OF THE CAR WHEN GOING TO DRIVE. SO AUDI RELEASED A CAR THEY SAID WAS FINE AND IT DIDN'T WORK PAST 12 HOURS. I AM OVER AUDI. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS HAVING THEM BUY BACK THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR A MONTH. PAY 45K FOR A CAR IT SHOULD WORK FOR MORE THE 19K MILES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE 2001 AUDI TT SPORTSCAR. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR CRASHED. THE AUDI DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN, AND FORTUNATELY THE CAR DID NOT CRASH. AGAIN, AUDI INSISTS THE BRAKES ARE FINE, BUT OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL IS FAILING CURRENTLY IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC CAUSING A DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR A SIMILAR FAILURE IN THE VEHICLES INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $900 FOR THE PART, PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE ITEM ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS ALSO STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE IN THE WINTER SO, ELEMENTS SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR IN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON OUR AUDI TT 2001 CONVERTIBLE, THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND AFTER AN INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO KNOWN CAUSE OF FIRE. ALSO, PRIOR TO THIS FIRE, THE TIP OF THE SPARK PLUG FELL INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK, CAUSING US THE OWNERS TO PAY IN FULL FOR A NEW ENGINE HEAD TO BE REPLACED....LOTS OF MONEY (APPROXIMATELY $8000). WE REPLACED IT THROUGH A WELL KNOWN PROFESSIONAL AUDI SHOP AUTO HAUS MUNICH IN SAN DIEGO. HAZARDOUS LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PROFESSIONALLY BECAUSE IT INTERFERED WITH THE SIGNAL LIGHTS. MUCH MONEY & TIME SPENT, AND MANY HEADACHES EXPERIENCED WHILE OWNING THIS BEAUTIFUL YET TROUBLESOME CAR. *TR

AIR BAGS
2001 AUDI TT, AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2001, LIGHT CAME ON AT 15K MILES, HAD CLUSTER REPLACED TOOK CARE OF PROBLEM FOR A WEEK, BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER HAD FIXED AGAIN. LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS. AT 30 K MILES BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR RECALL OF CLUSTER, PROBLEM FIXED FOR ABOUT 500 MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS 31K MILES LIGHT IS STILL ON. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MOST EARLY AUDI TT FROM 2000 TO 2004 AND SOME AFTER. NO ONE HAS MENTIONED A VALID SOLUTION ONLY THAT THEY KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY AND ONLY HAVING A SHORT TERM FIX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND AUDI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO RESOLVE. DRIVERS DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK PROPERLY DURING A CRASH. *TR

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.???
