Description of the problem | Audi a4 accelerates and decelerates at will. Does not go into reverse gear all the time. Then car must be turned off and on to get it into reverse gear. Engine races upon acceleration, or downshifts at highway speeds into low gear causing loss of speed. Completely unpredictable. Unsafe at any speed. My peace of mind is shattered. Car at dealership now for repair which is supposed to cost $1500. The integrity of the auto is substantially impaired. |
