Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A WARNING MESSAGE CAME UP DO THE DASHBOARD SAYING "GEARBOX MALFUNCTION, REVERSE GEAR NOT AVAILABLE, YOU CAN STILL DRIVE". AT THE SAME TIME, THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE SPEED AND WOULDN'T RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE, AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WOULD SURGE FORWARD, AND THEN LOOSE SPEED AGAIN. THIS REPEATED A FEW TIMES, UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. AT THE INTERSECTION, I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THEN ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH THE PROBLEM RECURRED. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO THE NEAREST AUDI DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE CAR IS NOW BEING EVALUATED. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE AT TIMES I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN THE SAME SPEED AS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. *TR
