DROVE THE CAR TO AN AUDI DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS "FAULTY TRANSMISSION COOLING VALVE N509, COOLANT IS GETTING INTO CONNECTOR CAUSING AN OPEN CIRCUIT FAULT". THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #2033806/9) THAT SOMETIMES RENDERS THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE, AND WILL POSSIBLY BE COVERED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD BEYOND THE WARRANTY. REPAIRS COSTED $900+. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THIS REOCCURS, IT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF IN AN UNSAFE MANNER.
