Purchased car used from Audi of North park in san antonio, tx with approx 73K miles on it. I have driven it for less than 2K miles. The car will no longer engage in reverse. I searched forums and see that this is a common problem.

Vehicle has 73,000 miles and the transmission has severe juddering. Transmission jerks continually while driving at all speeds, and makes it unsafe to drive. Apparently a common problem with Audi's. fix is $6000, making car worthless.

Vehicle stalled out and started shaking only to find out injectors went out and oil consumption issues. Audi usa is prolonging an issue that they know is wrong with the vehicle regarding oil consumption. I have completed phase I of the test and took it to dealership to have phase II completed however without my consent or knowledge Audi has the dealership perform phase I over again. Car is eating excessive amount of oil but yet Audi usa is prolonging the situation with no resolution. Purchased the car 08/24/2015 had to have an oil change done two weeks later beginning of September by October 15th I had to add more oil as the oil indicator light came on come to find out there is a known issue for consuming oil. I have phase I completed however I took vehicle in to have phase II done on it only to be told they had to do phase I over which isn't fair the vehicle still eats oil and value is depreciating drastically because of Audi and Volkswagen epa violations.

A4 4-cyl

  • 4,800 miles
I have had two instances of "sudden clutch failure", the first at 4,800 miles, the second at 31,000 miles. I was traveling on I-80 when suddenly the clutch started slipping and then burned out, leaving me stranded on the shoulder. According to Audi of oakland, the clutch failure has resulted in the clutch being in a "molten state" and the heat was so extreme that the clutch release bearing is fused to the transmission shaft. I have inspected the parts and have photos from that inspection. Audi of America repaired the clutch at their own expense after the first instance, but is denying any responsibility for this second occurrence. I have been driving standard shift Volkswagen's and audio's for 40 years and have never needed to replace a clutch before these two instances.
