“3 issues: 1. After initial start-up, the car jumps gears and jolts forward for the first 3-5 minutes of operation, especially at lower speeds. This has been consistent since the car was purchased brand new in january 2015. 2. Also, at higher speeds (65-85mph), the car shakes noticeably - the wheels/tires have been rotated and realigned multiple times but mechanics have said it is an internal transmission issue. 3. Lastly, the TPMS will come on every month and need resetting despite tire pressure being intact.”
NHTSA complaint #10732381, filed 2015-07, 10,000 miles“The contact called on behalf of her husband who owns a 2015 Audi a3. The vehicle was purchased in march of 2019. While the contact's husband was attempting to park the vehicle, he depressed the brake pedal and attempted to reverse the vehicle closer to the curb. When the driver shifted into drive and released the brake pedal, the vehicle independently accelerated and the steering wheel seized. It took the driver excessive strength to turn the steering wheel. The vehicle continued to accelerate on its own and came to a stop when it crashed into the neighbor's parked and unoccupied vehicle. …”
