Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My a4 randomly switches into neutral as i am driving down the highway. I have no control and have coasted to the shoulder of the road on one occasion when "drive" would not re-engage. My dashboard screen flashes over the prnd transmission indicators. The check engine light is on also, so i took the car to the audi dealer in south orlando. I was told that the transmission control module has gone bad and will cost $3100 to repair. The car also will not go into reverse about every 3rd or 4th time i select this gear. My research shows that this same problem was a recall on 2004-2006 models, so i would assume audi will recall this model year as well. My a4 has 62,000 miles on it and has been maintained by the dealer since new. I don't understand how this safety issue has not been elevated to a recall status already given the previous history of similar problems on the same models.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
