About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
While in motion on the highway, this vehicle intermittently loses power. A warning on the dash shows "gearbox malfunction" and the vehicle goes into limp mode. Once over so the side of the road, the vehicle can be turned off, and then restarted. Once restarted, no warning lights are visible and the vehicle drives as normal. This seems to happen in the summer months rather then winter and is sporadic. Sometimes it won't happen for a month. Other times it will happen 3 times in the same trip. It is dangerous to try and get over to the side of the road in high traffic traveling 60+mph. Internet searches on issues with Audi gearbox malfunctions shows that this is a problem, but no recall has been done.
