Description of the problem	We are the 2nd owner of an audi a4 convertible, purchased in november of 2010 with 25k miles. Within two years, we began to have problems with the cvt transmission and had to have the tcm replaced, which was later reimbursed by audi as a result of a class-action lawsuit. In january of 2014, at 38k miles, audi diagnosed the transmission as defective and needing replacement, transmission slipping when cold, vehicle shuddering. On complaint to audi, they agreed to cover 50% of the costs, which would be approximately $7,000 which resulted in my wife being afraid to drive the vehicle in cold weather. Replace the transmission at half cost. At 47k miles, again cold weather, the problem has worsened, vehicle often won't reverse and transmission locks up unexpectedly. As the vehicle cannot be driven safely, my wife will not drive it until it is safe again. As there is documented evidence of known issues with this transmission (us district court # cv11-00665 bro agrx), audi should be held responsible for 100% of the costs to repair and cvt transmission which results in a vehicle being unsafe to operate.
