Description of the problem	I owe a 2004 audi a4 convertible. In late february of 06, i started to experience problems when i put the gear on d (drive) or r (reverse) and gave gas; the car did not move at all. Dash board instrument was not responsive either. Initially i thought this was due to cold weather. On march 13, 06, i was running errands in a very busy area of northern virginia. The car was warm as it has been running for a couple of hours. I approached a busy intersection to make a left turn. When the road was cleared, i attempted to move forward but the car was totally frozen - it would not move regardless of how much i pushed the gas pedal. I was now facing the oncoming traffic of three cars blowing their horns like crazy. I just could not move the car and was terrified that i would be hit by the oncoming traffic. The oncoming traffic came to an abrupt stop and after several attempts i was able to move the car. I was very scared and called the audi of tysons corner (hbl) in vienna, virginia immediately and took the car in that day. The next day (3/14) afternoon, i received a call from the service advisor indicating that they were not able to duplicate the problem and that nothing was wrong with my car. I insisted that they recheck as i experienced the problem several times and that the last incident was could have been fatal as i was stuck in the middle of the intersection. They agreed and kept the car for another day; however, the next day they called and said the same thing - nothing wrong with the car. I picked the car on march 16, 06. While waiting in the lobby, i saw another audi a4 convertible driver. I approached her about my experience and asked if she experienced the same or similar problems. She said yes and that is why she brought her car in along with a regular service check. She received the same feedback from the audi of tysons - nothing wrong with her car either. I have the name, phone number, etc., of the other driver if needed. *jb

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
