Audi A4 2020 Transmission Failure at 54,000 km, Repair Cost Unacceptable

On October 14, 2024, I was driving my Audi A4 2020 Advanced package (54,000 km, registered in 2021) at 150 km/h on a highway when a sudden warning appeared: "Transmission error! Limited driving possible. Reverse gear unavailable." The car immediately lost speed, causing a jarring motion and a moment of panic, forcing me to pull over for safety.

The next day, I visited the Gaziantep Acarsan authorized service center. Diagnostics revealed a mechatronic failure, with repair costs estimated at ₺80,000–₺90,000. For a well-maintained, low-mileage car in the premium segment, such a critical issue is unacceptable and has severely shaken my trust in Audi.

How can a 2020 model car with only 54,000 km require such costly repairs? Audi, I expect you to address this issue promptly and stand behind your brand's promise of quality. If not, I will warn others about the lack of reliability and support from Audi.
