   THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. THE DRIVER'S WINDOW SOMETIMES DOES NOT CLOSE UP WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED THEREBY CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO SHOW THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN AND BEEPING OCCURS. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE RELEASE FOR THE GAS CAP DISCONNECTED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO RELEASE GAS CAP.

5. Filed Apr 15, 2013Failure Apr 2, 201395,000 milesColumbus, OHPower train

   WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO DRIVE. FORTUNATELY THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY AT THIS TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE NEUTRAL PROBLEM NOW OCCURS QUITE OFTEN AND I NOW HAVE THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR. THE TRANSMISSION IS A DSG AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND AFTER REVIEWING INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION IN ALL MODEL YEARS AND AUDI HAS ONLY HAD A RECALL ON LATER YEAR VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE RECALL WOULD NOT COVER ALL EARLIER VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AS THE TEMPERATURE SENSING UNIT AND THE MECHATRONIC UNIT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THESE WERE THE ITEMS COVERED IN THE LATER MODEL YEAR RECALL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHY ALL DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT COVERED. *TR

   AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THIS APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS AROUND THE CONNECTOR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD OR BACKWARD TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT SIZE DRIVERS. REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG DID NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
