2009 Audi A3 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1720274
Internal NHTSA #	11389974
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	AUDI
Model	A3
Model Year	2009
File date	01/09/20
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the dsg may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped by the connector supplier during a limited production period. With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the clutch to open and can cause the driver to perceive that the transmission has shifted into neutral. If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash. In addition, the depress brake pedal indicator light will be illuminated, alerting the driver to apply the brakes. In heavy traffic, this could lead to a crash without warning.
