Description of the problem | 2004 audi a4 cvt transmission lurching, rough shifting, and eventual failure of transmission predicted by mechanic, requiring significant costly repairs (thousands of dollars). First owner of the vehicle, which was well maintained. I am told this is a "common complaint/problem" with audi's. Internet search yields many similar complaints on cvt transmissions. Called audi customer service and they are mute on cvt transmissions as an issue! Defective cvt transmissions should be recalled and repaired by audi, not by consumers. Present mechanic contacted other mechanics and, i am told that this is a known issue amongst mechanics? Why no recall. |
