| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I owe a 2004 audi a4 convertible. in late february of 06, i started to experience problems when i put the gear on d (drive) or r (reverse) and gave gas; the car did not move at all. dash board instrument was not responsive either. initially i thought this was due to cold weather. on march 13, 06, i was running errands in a very busy area of northern virginia. the car was warm as it has been running for a couple of hours. i approached a busy intersection to make a left turn. when the road was cleared, i attempted to move forward but the car was totally frozen - it would not move regardless of how much i pushed the gas pedal. i was now facing the oncoming traffic of three cars blowing their horns like crazy. i just could not move the car and was terrified that i would be hit by the oncoming traffic. the oncoming traffic came to an abrupt stop and after several attempts i was able to move the car. i was very scared and called the audi of tysons corner (hbl) in vienna, virginia immediately and took the car in that day. the next day (3/14) afternoon, i received a call from the service advisor indicating that they were not able to duplicate the problem and that nothing was wrong with my car. i insisted that they recheck as i experienced the problem several times and that the last incident was could have been fatal as i was stuck in the middle of the intersection. they agreed and kept the car for another day; however, the next day they called and said the same thing - nothing wrong with the car. i picked the car on march 16, 06. while waiting in the lobby, i saw another audi a4 convertible driver. i approached her about my experience and asked if she experienced the same or similar problems. she said yes and that is why she brought her car in along with a regular service check. she received the same feedback from the audi of tysons - nothing wrong with her car either. i have the name, phone number, etc., of the other driver if needed. *jb |
