1 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2004 Audi TT

Failure Date: 08/20/2010

2004 Audi Tt 3. 2 liter, dsg transmission, 32,000 miles. At random times, the engine would suddenly disconnect from the drivetrain for a few seconds, a serious safety issue when merging onto a freeway, or crossing a busy street. This occurred many times over a period of weeks, until I stopped driving the car because of safety concerns. An error code showed a speed sensor failure, but replacing the sensor did not fix the problem. Ultimately I had to have the mechatronic unit in the transmission replaced to fix the problem, at a cost of about 3,200 dollars. I have the defective mechatronic unit in my possession.

2 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2004 Audi TT

Failure Date: 03/28/2010

Recently purchased an Audi Tt 3. 2 v6 2004 dsg model. 51k on the clock. Whilst driving along the motorway suddenly the car seems like its been thrown into neutral and a sudden loss of power. No warning, no engine management light, nothing. This keeps happending sporadically approx twice a day and according to Audi it seems as though im going to have to cough up for a new gearbox which I deem to be totally unacceptable. Surely this must require Audi to review the dsg gearbox. ???.

3 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2004 Audi TT

Failure Date: 12/30/2009

2004 Audi Tt roadster dsg/mechatronic unit failure. Engine shifted into 1st gear on 294 northbound while driving 55 mph in the center lane! lost all power and prayed that I could get to the shoulder without being hit. Road the should in 1st gear with hazards on until I could exit and limp my way to the dealer. Estimated repair $25000. 00 I have been unemployed since sept 2009. Maybe I should have been hit and killed! just put $710. 00 in rear brakes and new wipers on. This repair is insane. The unit should be recalled. I could have lost my life as well as my passenger which was my mother! no warning of any kind to alert you that something is going to happen. Very very scary!!!.

The contact owns a 2003 Audi Tt. The contact was driving while accelerating from a stop, the transmission jerked and would not accelerate for a few seconds. The failure also occurred while the contact was driving 25-35 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer five times but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who then stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 84,902.

5 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2008 Audi TT

Failure Date: 06/13/2009

I drive a 2008 Audi Tt 2. 0t with the dsg gearbox. When I try to accelerate quickly or move my automatic transmission from drive to sport there are times when my car feels like it shifts in to neutral instead of down shifting into the next lower gear. There are also times at low speed when the car will have a harsh shift from first to second and occasionally the automatic transmission will almost stall when trying to start from a stop on a hill. This problem occurs sporadically while I am driving and appears to correct itself. When the car seems to fall out of gear and it feels like I am in neutral I let me foot off of the gas and a few seconds later the transmission will reengage in the appropriate gear and I have the ability to accelerate again. This condition has not led to any serious issues yet but there have been a few times when I have been in the middle of a lane change and stepped on the gas and the car drops in to neutral. This has led to at least one near accident but no accidents have occurred. I have not had the problem looked at yet because it comes and goes at random but I have my 25000 mile service scheduled on July 31st and I was going to inform the Audi dealer of the problem and have them look into it.
