I was driving down the interstate when my warning transmission failure light came on. Then another message said you can drive with limited use if vehicle. Seconds later the warning transmission failure light came on again and said drive to your nearest repair shop. Moments later the warning came on and said safely stop your vehicle. I pulled over on the side of the road and pit my car in park. After doing so the warning transmission failure stayed on and the car no longer would shift into any gears. The car never overheated or stopped running. I had to get the car towed. My car has been in the shop for 3. 5 weeks and no one can tell me what's wrong with it.
There was no damage caused. The Audi pre sense technology (automatic braking) has come close to causing several accidents by braking extremely hard when there has been no reason to brake.
My vehicle was repaired pursuant to rearview/backup camera recall (22v742000). Unfortunately, the issue has again arisen and the backup camera alternates between a white screen, a black screen and a frozen screen.
