Vehicle is throwing transmission fault codes, shifting as if the trans is in limp mode, when stopped and then going, the trans bogs, as well as between shifts. doesn't go into manual mode either for the dsg trans my car has. a shop said the metatronic unit needs replacement.
Transmission fault code popped up. trans bogs when trying to start, almost in a limp mode for the transmission. the code comes on and off sometimes, and doesn't allow me to go into manual mode. the trans is a dsg, and is acting very weird. mechatronic was told to be replaced by a european auto shop.
My vehicle as well as many audis with the mechatronic system are having an issue that present a error, " mechatronic failure tpms gearbox malfunction). it often either not drivable, even when in traffic or drives at a snail's pace when attempting to exit traffic. audi corporate said a recall is only done when the nhtsa feel that's it a issue that can calls safety &/or death. this seem to effect, from my research, 2010 - 2014 audi s4, s5 and a5 model [n the usa and there are some europe complaints, which i have found as well] manufactored at a particular plant or provider. this type of malfunction can certainly cause 'loss of life' as it occurs in traffic. i happen to live in metro atlanta ga, with our fast pace traffic, its a serious issue. there absolutely should be a recall. the cost to repair can be up to $15k. there is no way this should happed to a $60-$75 high-end vehicle. have video's of the dashboard with the error and can upload to you. i was offered 15% on the repair, which is really an insult. please look into this issue and its not hard to find others with this issue. i pray for some relief in the form of a recall. it has been happening sine 2010, from what i have learned.
I was driving on the freeway all of the sudden i lost power and felt jerky movements i had to pull over. obviously i had check engine light come and gearbox malfunction message. the problem turns out to be a mechatronic issue with my vehicle there's a technical service bulletin on it tsb number is 10054213-2278. although i tried to open a case with audi usa. my case got denied because they stated the car is out of warranty and because it's not a known issue on the vehicle model. i can understand the warranty part but to say that is not a known issue that qualifies as a non accurate statement since there's is an official tsb on the matter and i take that as an insult honestly. i would like for someone to address that issue and maybe have audi acknowledge the problem more openly since it's something that's affects alot of customers and audi is getting away with poor quality control on their vehicles. thank you and have a good day
