 The vehicle according to the audi dealer has a bad automatic tcm transmission control module that causes the car to slip gears or not shift down when coming slowing down and then needing to accelerate. the vehicle will stay locked in 3rd gear and when pulling out on to the freeway or a busy street it makes it difficult to get up to speed. when parked on a slanted driveway or street the vehicle may not engage a gear once it has been selected and the car will roll down hill.

 I owe a 2004 audi a4 convertible. in late february of 06, i started to experience problems when i put the gear on d (drive) or r (reverse) and gave gas; the car did not move at all. dash board instrument was not responsive either. initially i thought this was due to cold weather. on march 13, 06, i was running errands in a very busy area of northern virginia. the car was warm as it has been running for a couple of hours. i approached a busy intersection to make a left turn. when the road was cleared, i attempted to move forward but the car was totally frozen - it would not move regardless of how much i pushed the gas pedal. i was now facing the oncoming traffic of three cars blowing their horns like crazy. i just could not move the car and was terrified that i would be hit by the oncoming traffic. the oncoming traffic came to an abrupt stop and after several attempts i was able to move the car. i was very scared and called the audi of tysons corner (hbl) in vienna, virginia immediately and took the car in that day. the next day (3/14) afternoon, i received a call from the service advisor indicating that they were not able to duplicate the problem and that nothing was wrong with my car. i insisted that they recheck as i experienced the problem several times and that the last incident was could have been fatal as i was stuck in the middle of the intersection. they agreed and kept the car for another day; however, the next day they called and said the same thing - nothing wrong with the car. i picked the car on march 16, 06. while waiting in the lobby, i saw another audi a4 convertible driver. i approached her about my experience and asked if she experienced the same or similar problems. she said yes and that is why she brought her car in along with a regular service check. she received the same feedback from the audi of tysons - nothing wrong with her car either. i have the name, phone number, etc., of the other driver if needed. *jb
