Consumer Description

I HAVE AN AUDI A3 2008 2.0 MODEL THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 11/07. I STARTED EXPERIENCING A HESITATION WITH THE TRANSMISSION A FEW MONTHS AGO. BASICALLY, FROM A ROLLING START IN 1ST GEAR, THERE CAN BE A JERKY ACTION WITH THE CAR. I DON'T THINK THIS IS TURBO LAG BECAUSE I CAN HEAR THE CLUTCH TRYING TO CATCH ONTO THE GEAR. ON TOP OF THAT, WHEN I SLOW THE CAR DOWN (I.E. 40 MPH TO 0 MPH), I FEEL A JERK EVERY TIME THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS. TO MY PASSENGERS, THEY FEEL AS IF I AM SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES AND THEN RELEASING THE BRAKES SPORADICALLY. A FEW ONLINE POSTS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY A DEFECT WITH THE MECHATRONICS UNIT AND THAT IF NOT REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
