| POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | |||
| 09/25/2010 | 11100 | ||
| Parked in an incline, i attempted to back out of a drive way. i placed my foot on the brake and placed the car in reverse and removed my foot from the brake. the vehicle went forward as if in neutral with no resistance at all. i stepped on the brake quickly to prevent from going through the garage door. although i depressed the accelerator the car was not moving in reverse. i had to get the engine rpm up fairly high to get the car to move at all. it was like i had the parking brake on but if i let up on the accelerator, the car would again roll forward. when the car reached the top of the drive, it quickly grabbed and accelerated. i stepped on the brake quickly but not before i hit a retaining wall behind me. this type of hesitation has also been experienced when in drive. depressing the accelerator does not produce immediate results. then starts to increase rpm's an then the car lunges forward. i have returned it to the audi dealer a few months ago for this exact problem. when the service man moved my car he immediately noticed the condition but it was returned to me working as designed. fro the next 2-3 months, the transmission was as responsive as any other auto but this has changed back to the way it was. | |||

| I have a 2010 audi a4 with the multitronic cvt transmission. when the vehicle is on an incline, the car rolls-back (or forward) when in drive, much like a car with a manual transmission. i have taken the car in for service and was told that this behavior is normal and functioning as designed. while this has not caused an accident, this sort of behavior has the potential to cause collisions with the car behind (or in front) when on an incline, grade, hill, parking garage, parking lot, etc. this behavior has cause frightening situations in which i've had to slam on the brakes for fear of hitting the car behind (or in front) of me. this has also caused the driver of the other vehicle to honk in fear of getting hit. i have not observed similar behavior in vehicles with traditional manual or automatic transmissions. this behavior seems to be limited to audis with cvt transmissions. i have been able to reproduce the same behavior on a friend's 2009 audi a4 with the same transmission. | |||

| The 2010 audi a4 2.0t which i leased lunges forward every time it is down shifted in triptronic mode (manually shifting the automatic transmission). today, i reported the defect to the service writer scott summerfield at mcdonald audi in littleton co and he told me he was aware of it and that he thought audi might be working on a fix for it. i think you should compel audi to replace the transmissions because the lunging is a potentially life threatening defect. the manual shifting mode of the automatic transmission is used mainly on unsafe steep mountain roads to avoid riding the brake on a downhill grade and to acquire greater control of the vehicle on slippery terrain where the possibility of a fatal accident such as going over a cliff is great. *tr | |||
