Vehicle switched into neutral and accelerated unable to control or stop crashed into bush 2014 Audi checked said no issuue vehicle switches gear unexpectedly on highway and slows and drags Audi checked said normal 9/3 2022 foot on break to a full stop at a light anothet auto in front Audi suddenly switched gear and started to accelerate would not stop crashed into car in front gear stayed frrozen in neutral for a few mimutes.

Dsg transmission will abruptly shift down to first gear and would not respond in any other gear. The shift indicator in the dashboard will light up and blink and the check engine light will come on. There are no warnings before this happens and it will happen at random times. It has happen in separate occasions while traveling at different speeds. When this happens while traveling it creates a dramatic reduction on vehicle speed almost causing the vehicle traveling behind me to rear end me. Once stopped the car will only engage when put on d and will stay at a low gear causing the rpms to red line even at low speeds making it unsafe to drive due to only being able to reach 5 to 10 mph. A scan was performed and codes p1814 press. Ctrl. Valve 1 open circuit/short implausible signal, and, p1835 press. Ctrl. Valve 5 short circuit to b+. This fault is random and there is no warning or indication of when it may happen making the vehicle unsafe at any speed.

Transmission goes into neutral while at highway speeds. Engine rpms jump to redline while car is in neutral, then goes back into gear. Has happen several times while on the highway. Transmission also kicks down to lowest gear when coming at stop, jerking the car while braking.

When in low gears, every action (deceleration and acceleration) are extremely "jerky". When coming to a stop Audible "clunk"s can be heard from the engine area, and when attempting to fully stop the car jerks forward into first gear. The reverse and drive gears on the automatic transmission sometimes partially engage, or do not fully engage at all. On hills, the transmission has these issues as well.

Transmission problem. Mechatronic controller has gone bad. Intermittent problem. Dsg will not engage to go into reverse. Transmission acts as if it is in neutral. When placed in park, if auto is on an incline of any sort, the vehicle will and has rolled forward approximately 10 inches. The concern is that if the car will not go into reverse on command, the occupants may not be able to get out of the way an oncoming mass.

Purchased car in 2010 with around 10,000 miles on it. A few months after purchasing, check engine light would illuminate, vehicle would have a noticeable decrease in power and not accelerate over about 40mph. Sometimes after shutting car off and restarting problem would go away, other times it would not. Vehicle taken to Audi dealership car purchased from for repair and initially reported as sensor problem and repaired. Couple weeks after repair car would have same problem, so taken back to dealership and again repaired sensor(s). Within about the first year after purchasing, issue happened multiple (+/-5) times after dealership �repaired� what they thought was the problem at the particular time. After about 5/6 times of this happening dealership took a more in depth attempt at figuring out what problem really was, telling me they were working directly with Audi & their mechanics to find and fix the actual defect. Car was in shop for around 3 months for this repair, which they determined was electrical and decided to rewire the entire car. In the meantime, I moved out of state to start graduate school. I finally got it back a few months later after having to pay to ship it to me and for a rental while waiting. Within a few months, car once again had same exact problem. Took to new local dealership who also diagnosed issue as sensor(s) & �repaired� them. Continued to have same problem every few weeks, would take into dealer for repair, get it back, have problem, take to dealership, etc. Dealership would not address car overall being defective, they'd avoid contact, not return calls, hangup etc. Car eventually traded in for new make when warranty expired.
