Consumer Description

2008 AUDI A3 3.2 DSG: TRANSMISSION WOULD DROP VIOLENTLY FORCING A REDUCTION IN SPEED. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR SOMETIMES WOULD NOT LET THE CAR ACCELERATE...ENGINE REVOLUTIONS WOULD NOT RISE. DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED CONSISTENTLY. TAKING TWO BOTH DEALERSHIPS IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY (THE COLLECTION AND PRESTIGE). THE SERVICE EVENTUALLY DID NOTHING TO THE CAR. AUDI WOULD NOT HONOR ANY SERVICE WITHOUT ECM LOGGED ERRORS. I SAW A RECALL INVESTIGATION ON LATER MODEL CARS, BUT A CONTINUING INVESTIGATION ON CARS INCLUDING MY MODEL YEAR FOR THE EXACT SYMPTOMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR THE ABILITY TO RECREATE AT WILL. *TR
