| I first had a check engine light pop on my 04 audi a4 cvt the code number 17090, then flashing pndr indicator lights. after doing many hours of research and hearing other stories about audi cvt issues, i came to a conclusion that the issue lies within the tcm (transmission computer) and has a faulty part that goes bad. i did not have the funds to repair this issue so i have been driving the car, caution this failure will cause loss of reverse at any given moment and sometimes drive. i did have a close call when i was backing out of my drive way and the car stopped moving, all of a sudden i didn't have reverse and the car that was down the road wasn't wanting to slow down, he did end up stopping for me but was pissed off, and i was too, no reason for a 40,000 mile car to have issues like this. audi quotes this repair at $2500. it seems like every single audi produced in that same time period with a cvt transmission has this issue and should be considered a manufactures defect and should be recalled so they are responsible for the costs. audi has denied me to help with these cost, but i know have help others out, so they are defiantly aware of there issue. *tr | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2004 audi a4. while driving approximately 65 mph he attempted to accelerate further but the vehicle would respond. since the vehicle would not longer accelerate it was pulled over and shut off. the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where he was informed the fuel pump needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileages were 62,000. sm. | |||

| 2004 audi a4 cvt transmission lurching, rough shifting, and eventual failure of transmission predicted by mechanic, requiring significant costly repairs (thousands of dollars). first owner of the vehicle, which was well maintained. i am told this is a common complaint/problem with audi's. internet search yields many similar complaints on cvt transmissions. called audi customer service and they are mute on cvt transmissions as an issue! defective cvt transmissions should be recalled and repaired by audi, not by consumers. present mechanic contacted other mechanics and, i am told that this is a known issue amongst mechanics? why no recall. | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the vehicle operated at a reduced speed and the engine stalled without warning. additionally, upon initial acceleration the automatic transmission was sluggish while shifting gears. the vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the automatic transmission clutch body and fluid needed to be replaced. afterwards, the problem persisted. the manufacturer was alerted. *ak updated 12/15/2006 - *nm | |||

| Vehicle is having a problem with the transmission. owner has leased this vehicle in june 2004. when the vehicle is in reverse, it will not move then suddenly the engine will accelerate and a click and pop sound will be heard and then the vehicle will surge backward. owner had taken the vehicle to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. instead the transmission was replaced because it was said at that time that they were aware of the problem but could not repair it. provide further details. | |||
| POWER TRAIN - CLUTCH ASSEMBLY | |||
| 04/19/2007 | 29000 | 1 | 03/13/2004 |
| Vehicle was accelerating and attempting to get up to speed on a busy highway when the clutch suddenly and without any indication failed in-between gear shifts. the clutch pedal became lodged/stuck against the floorboard, causing the driver to panic in the belief that some foreign object was interfering with the natural return of the clutch pedal. the vehicle remained in gear, and was coasted to a shoulder with the clutch pedal still stuck against the floorboard. once safely on the shoulder, the vehicle's engine was turned off and the driver investigated the cause of the clutch pedal sticking to the floorboard. nothing was found to be blocking/interfering with the clutch. an attempt to restart the car and place the vehicle in first gear resulted in the car stalling out. the car was no longer operable. an audi dealership assessed the clutch assembly and determined that the sudden clutch failure was due to the clutch disk being overheated, and the friction material being completely worn out despite only 29,000 miles being logged on the vehicle. the vehicle has not been repaired as the matter is being litigated. *tr | |||
