All Power Trainautomatic Transmission Complaints
CONSUMER NOTICED WATER COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT FROM THE HEATING DOCKS. THIS OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY IN A RAIN STORM OVER NIGHT. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE DRAIN LOCATED UNDER THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT, UNDER THE HOOD, GOT BLOCKED UP AND WATER BACKED UP INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE HEATING DOCKS. THIS RESULTED IN THE TRANSMISSION BEING SUBMERGED IN WATER. *AK
THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR OF OUR AUDI A6 KEPT FILLING UP WITH WATER WHILE DRIVING -- EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT RAINING. THERE WAS NO DRAIN IN THE FLOOR TO ALLOW THE WATER TO EXIT, SO WE BAILED IT LIKE A BOAT AND FINALLY PUNCHED A HOLE THROUGH THE FLOOR WITH A SCREWDRIVER. HOWEVER, SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CAR STOPPED DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD: THE BRAKES LOCKED AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE REGARDLESS OF WHAT GEAR IT WAS PLACED IN. BY REPEATEDLY TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION BRIEFLY AND MOVE THE CAR THREE OR FOUR FEET AT A TIME UNTIL IT WAS OFF THE HIGHWAY. MY PASSENGERS AND I WERE UNDERSTANDABLY FRIGHTENED AS THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS AND WE WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE CAR WAS FLATBEDDED TO THE NEAREST DEALER...
