Consumer Description

WHILE STATIONARY AND DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND EPC LIGHT WHICH STATES, "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE". DRIVES SLUGGISH AND "SPUTTERS" ABOVE 4000 RPM. MY WIFE (PREGNANT AT THE TIME) WAS DRIVING WHEN IT SPUTTERED AND HAD DIFFICULTY EXITING OUR SUBDIVISION ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE AUDI DEALER IN HARDEEVILLE, SC AND CONCERN WAS VERIFIED AS COOLANT IN ENGINE/TRANSMISSION HARNESS. (SEE UPLOADS) I'VE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS WAS COMMON AND I FOUND A RECALL ON THE A8 FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS ABLE TO FIND SB-10053889-6593 WHICH OUTLINES THE EXACT ISSUE; SO AUDI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
