Nhtsa safety complaint draftvehicle information:year/make/model: 2013 Audi S5 premium plus coupevin: [xxx]: power train / transmission (7-speed dual-clutch s-tronic / dsg)description of safety defect:I am writing to report a severe, recurring safety defect regarding the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission in my 2013 Audi S5. The vehicle is experiencing catastrophic transmission issues, including sudden power loss, violent juddering, erratic shifting, and abruptly entering "limp mode" without warning. This issue presents an immediate and severe safety hazard. When the transmission abruptly loses power or forces the vehicle into limp mode while driving at highway speeds, it leaves the driver completely unable to accelerate or safely keep pace with surrounding traffic. This sudden, unpredictable loss of propulsion significantly increases the risk of a high-speed rear-end collision. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
