Takata recall. I have been to my dealership with regards to the recall here in houston. And the only thing they say is that they are aware but they don't know what Audi is going to do about it. They have no timeline or table as to when they will begin repairs.

It happens when I turn the car on and I go to park it. When I pass reverse. It seems to happen a lot more often after it rains. My transmission is going into limp mode due to a major fault. Code P0706: Transmission range sensor circuit range/performance the transmission range sensor tells the tcm the position of the gear lever. It also contains a neutral safety switch, which ensures that you can only start your car in neutral or park. Potential causes for this code to set are: Faulty transmission range sensor misadjusted transmission range sensor open or shorted transmission range sensor harness faulty PCM it happens to a lot of the A4 Audi's. its dangerous and its not anything that owners of the Audi did or did not do. I have never neglected my car. It is something that is enevatable because it was caused during the manufacturing.

Takata recall-my 2008 Audi A4 has been under recall for much greater than one year. I am at the Audi dealer today for routine service and again I have been presented with a reminder that my car is under recall and that for safety concerns no one should ride in the passenger front seat! I have been patient listening to the corporate-speak about how this is a not an Audi problem, but a takata problem. At this time, I believe that Volkswagen ag, the owner of Audi should own this problem and not continue to pass it off to a financially unaccountable international parts manufacturer. I have been informed that my vehicle is not eligible for dealer trade-in because of this unfulfilled recall. At this time my financial loss is not insignificant, however the sustained exposure to life threatening injury cannot be justified by Audi or Volkswagen. Patience and reasonable understanding can be taken advantage by corporate greed. I now refuse to accept continued delay from the most profitable division of Volkswagen ag.
