“I have a 2003 Audi a4 Cabriolet 3.0 with cvs transmission. I have replaced one transmission at a cost of over 7,500 dollars. The car only had 65,000 miles on it and had always been maintained by Audi dealership in toronto , canada. The dealer tried to get out of paying for the repair and after several arguments only partially covered the costs. The car now has 110,000 miles on it and again I am experiencing transmission issues. The prnd lights flash back and forth and the transmission is wining and shaky at certain speeds. …”
