Owner report 10663235 · 2014-12-09 (December 9, 2014)
WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC, LET OFF BRAKE TO ACCELERATE WHILE TURNING WHEN THE ENGINE HESITATED. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AT THIS MOMENT RESULTED IN MINIMAL CAR MOVEMENT PLACING MY CAR IN THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL MORE AND THE CAR FINALLY OVER ACCELERATED RESULTING IN SOME LOSS OF CONTROL IN THE TURN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE NOTICED ENGINE HESITATION FROM A STOP. THE SAME HESITATION HAS OCCURRED AT FOUR WAY STOPS AND STOP LIGHTS. THE ENGINE HESITATION OCCURS MORE…

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 AUDI A4. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT VALVE FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE.

Owner report 10971778 · 2017-04-11 (April 11, 2017)
I JUST BOUGHT AN 2013 AUDI A4 ON 4/6/17, I DROVE IT FOR A WEEK AND THE CAR STARTED TO GIVE ME TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION WARNING, THE CAR JERKS AND CLUNKS WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND OR EVEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES. I BELIEVE AUDI NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL BECAUSE THERE IS ENTIRELY TO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE MECHATRONIC UNITS ON SUCH LOW MILEAGE AUDI'S. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY OLD 2006 AUDI A4 AND GOT IT FIXED FOR A FEW THOUSAND, NOW I HAVE TO DO THE SAME WITH MY 2013 A…

Owner report 11219494 · 2019-06-12 (June 12, 2019)
WHEN THE VEHICLE AS AT A STOP OR MOVING FORWARD VERY SLOWLY AND THE GAS PEDAL (ACCELERATOR) IS DEPRESSED THE TRANSMISSION (WHICH IS IN DRIVE) DOES NOT ENGAGE - THE ENGINE WILL SIMPLY REV AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THE TRANSMISSION WILL ULTIMATELY ENGAGE WITH A RATHER SEVERE JOLT. THIS PRESENTS A SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE UPON COMMAND. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THIS HAS PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IN ONE INSTANCE, A CAR WAS STALLED AHEAD OF ME ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY. I STO…
