Consumer Description

THE S-TRONIC/DSG TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES DOWNSHIFTING. IT WILL REV UP HIGH WHEN COMING TO A STOP AS WELL. THERE IS ALSO A HARSH CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING FROM NEUTRAL-DRIVE-PARK. AUDI RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE MECHATRONICS UNIT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHATRONICS CIRCUIT BOARD HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AT OWNERS COST AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MECHATRONIC UNIT AT MY COST ($3800+). THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. IT IS KNOWN THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND AUDI DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES.
