2013 AUDI Q5 with 70290.0 miles

Incident date: 5/9/20 mileage: 70,290 miles summary: i reversed out of parking space, shifted my car into drive, and my car abruptly hesitated, decelerated, resisted, and jerked upon engaging the gas pedal; a series of multiple warning/indicator lights simultaneously flashed on the obd screen while my car was in motion. The car continued to decelerate, jerk & hesitate.Messages referenced hybrid, malfunction, electronic, inoperable, loss of ability to control steering, steering power, danger, hazard, engine, stabilization, driving, power. I attempted to accelerate from a stop sign to cross a 4 lane intersection of moving traffic. Upon pressing the gas pedal to cross the traffic intersection, my car would hesitated to accelerate, and more abruptly jerked and hesitated - like i was driving a manual transmission that was stalling out/stuck in the wrong gear.The more i tried to accelerate across the 4 lanes of moving traffic, the more severely the car resisted, jerked, hesitated, and fluctuated in power. I could've been t-boned by another vehicle and seriously injured, as the speed limit on both sides of this traffic intersection is 45mph. I was informed by the Audi dealership that i need a brand new transmission due to 'internal parts failure.' i was also informed the 'condition and level of transmission fluid' requires an entirely new transmission. The following diagnostic codes were provided by the dealership: P0AB900,P060A00,P279700,U040200. According to Audi, my car now needs a whole new transmission and has 'burned' transmission fluid due to an 'internal parts failure' at 70,290 miles.The transmission replacement and labor is approx $27k. I recently learned the transmission mechatronics was replaced by another Audi dealership in aug 16' and the mileage was approximately 22kmiles. I purchased the vehicle in jan 17', with approx. 26kmiles. More detail in pdf.

2007 LEXUS GS450H with 98000.0 miles

Air bags - Lexus refused to cover under warranty deployed airbags due to lightly scrubbing a curb power train - the auxiliary oil pump on the automatic transmission failed, as it is commonly known to do. The bearings inside the pump wear down over time and eventually sieze. This leads to the vehicle being limited to 70 miles per hour as well as disables the hybrid system. This triggers mil P2797.
