Consumer Description

AUDI DSG TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUE - THE"PRNDS" ON MY DASH OFTEN STARTS FLASHING, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW IN A "LIMP" MODE. I THEN HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, START THE CAR, AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE MODE. I DO ALL OF THIS WHILE EITHER ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD OR THE ALTERNATIVE IS FIND A PLACE TO PULL OVER. AUDI RECOGNIZES THIS AS A PROBLEM ON DSG EQUIPPED VEHICLES JUST A FEW MONTHS NEWER THAN MINE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WILL NOT ADMIT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON CARS BUILT WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT JUST A LITTLE EARLIER. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH AUDI. THEY CLAIM IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WILL COST $4800 AND CAN ONLY BE DONE AT A DEALER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER 1.5 YEARS AND HAS GOTTEN MUCH MORE FREQUENT IN THE LAST HALF YEAR. *TR
