Fuel sensor not working properly; while having gas, once tank meter reads 1/2, the engine shot-down, incorrectly telling that the tank is empty. Same issues with the cathalytic converter system. Engine's transmission wearing fast; pushing back and fort while accelerating.

The first week of dec 2014, i had been hearing a sporadic, whooting noise from the floor of my audi tt 2004 (49,000 miles). I brought my vehicle into the dealership on 12/05/14. Aside from some other non-critical repairs, the dealership could not find a cause for the noise and it was released. As i was driving the vehicle back to the dealership on 12/12/14 to pick up my other vehicle, i had significant issues. I was driving along north ave at 35 - 40 mph in rush-hour traffic. As i was driving, the vehicle suddenly shifted into neutral and began to rapidly slow. In an effort to avoid a serious rear-end collision, i quickly engaged the hazard lights and slowed to a stop. Once stopped, i shifted into park (not certain if it actually shifted to park at this point), shut of the engine, and re-started. Fortunately, the vehicle made it safely to the dealership without another incident that day. The following week on 12/15/14, the dealer ran diagnostics on the vehicle. They noted a fault in the transmission, but could not determine the cause and after running 10 miles, noted that it was running well. In an effort to continue troubleshooting, the dealer used my vehicle to run errands. As they turned onto ogden ave (westmont, il), they had the same problem with the vehicle shifting spontaneously into neutral. I do not know the full details of that incident, but can imagine it was also a close call as ogden ave is a busy, four-lane road. The official diagnosis was that it needs a mechatronics unit replacement. I am grateful that this incident did not happen on the highway and that i was not driving in front of a more aggressive driver (who may have otherwise collided with my vehicle). I believe this is a serious safety concern as it occurs while the vehicle is in motion, it occurs on a sporadic basis, and it is evidently undetectable at the dealership. *tr

The transmission slips violently between 2 nd and 3 rd gear. There was a complete loss of power with the pedal down completely. After research have discovered that the design of these triptonic transmissions which can be switched from manual to automatic are faulty and costly to repair. I am considering a valve body replacement which may or may not fix the problem. Audi does not stand behind their product. This is a common problem among audi owners. *tr

While driving on the freeway, the transmission suddenly went to neutral. With no power and at 70mph, i was forced into an unsafe maneuver, cutting drivers off in order to get onto the shoulder lane. I was towed to a nearby audi dealership around 11:00pm. 3 business days later, they called me with the results; the mechatronics (transmission computer) was faulty and was estimated to cost $2800 for the repair. This issue with vw's dsg transmission is widespread as owners at various mileages have reported broken mechatronics units. My vehicle has 65k miles and replacing a transmission at that mileage is absurd. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 audi tt1.8 coupe. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle would jerk in between gears and stall. After the failure, the vehicle could not be shifted in or out of any gear. By turning the engine off and then restarting, the failure would correct itself but would recur after several minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that they needed to replace the transmission. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who offered to buy the vehicle back but the contact refused. The failure mileage was 70,000.
