This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Car shakes and shudders when coming to a stop. When trying to start from a stop, car hesitates before moving. Can roll backwards if car is on an uphill incline. Natural response is to depress gas pedal further. Transmission then engages and car lurches forward. Took car to dealer 3 times. First time transmission fluid topped off. Second time tranmission control unit software upgraded. 3rd time we were told that the problem cannot be fixed, even with transmission replacement.
Failure to accelerate. I experience major delays in any acceleration immediately after I have depressed the brake (at any speed) and then try to reaccelerate. I understand that this is a common complaint among all Audi tiptronic owners regardless of engine type. It is not, as Audi tries to say, "turbo lag." In almost every failure to date, I have almost been involved in an accident due to this problem. Had other drivers been less attentive, I most surely would have been struck. I am hesitant to pull out into any volume of traffic with this persistent problem.
