No it is not safe until you get it repaired- please, get rid of the Audi and never get another one- you "Audi" know better-

sounds like a bad park switch or trany computer you could try a reboot of the car computer by disconnecting the battery terminals for over 15 minutes ***Be sure to have your radio code doing this***
