| There is a huge problem it seems with the transmission control module (tcm). apparently most audi vehicles will have a problem with it and the repairs are costing the consumers big money. a new one from the dealer costs around 1100-1200.00 dollars and they are used to seeing this problem and dont think its a big deal... why should we pay if its a problem that they are aware about and ultimately comes down to a bad service by them knowing and not helping pay for a regular problem caused by them??? | |||

| The vehicle hesitates for 2 to 3 seconds when trying to accelerate from a complete stop. from june 23rd, 2005, when i took delivery of the car, until july 1,2005, i have almost been t-boned while trying to make a left hand turn, 3 times. the car is dangerous!! i took it in to the dealer on july the 1st. they told me then that that is the way the car is designed to operate. i then contacted audi customer relations, and was told the same thing by them. they are not willing to do anything about this problem and i beleive they hope it will go away. i have no way of checking, but i will guess that this is a chronic problems and has caused many accidents. | |||

| Audi a4 accelerates and decelerates at will. does not go into reverse gear all the time. then car must be turned off and on to get it into reverse gear. engine races upon acceleration, or downshifts at highway speeds into low gear causing loss of speed. completely unpredictable. unsafe at any speed. my peace of mind is shattered. car at dealership now for repair which is supposed to cost $1500. the integrity of the auto is substantially impaired. *tr | |||
