1 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2017

It happens when I turn the car on and I go to park it. When I pass reverse. It seems to happen a lot more often after it rains. My transmission is going into limp mode due to a major fault. Code p0706: transmission range sensor circuit range/performance the transmission range sensor tells the tcm the position of the gear lever. It also contains a neutral safety switch, which ensures that you can only start your car in neutral or park. Potential causes for this code to set are: faulty transmission range sensor misadjusted transmission range sensor open or shorted transmission range sensor harness faulty pcm it happens to a lot of the A4 Audi's. Its dangerous and its not anything that owners of the Audis did or did not do. I have never neglected my car. It is something that is enevatable because it was caused during the manufacturing.

2 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2016

The park,reverse,neutral,drive display flashes which indicates that the vehicle is running in caution mode. The vehicle does not run in reverse and while the vehicle is moving it seems as if it wants to change gears such as from drive to neutral. My research indicates that this was a common problem with the 2008 models. My research also indicates that the problem is the transmission control module. I am not aware if this problem affected other year models or if Audi corrected the problem after 2008. I purchased the vehicle in July of 2016 with the problem and the dealership informed me that it was a recall problem. When I recently took the vehicle to a Audi dealership they informed me that it was not a recall problem. The dealership information sounds false since this is a safety issue. I am making this complaint to see if an investigation is warranted for me and other owners of the 2008 Audi A4.
