Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After the vehicle came to a stop at a stop sign, and I tried to get the vehicle to move again, its response was very weak as if it had lost power. Couple of times earlier, the vehicle refused to engage into reverse gear, stranding me in a parking lot for a while. On showing the dealer, the fault was in the mechtronics unit of the dsg (direct shift gearbox). Audi has recalled cars from year 2007 onwards for this issue, claiming that 2006 and before are not affected. This is not the case as it has happened with my car, which is a 2006. …”
