POWER TRAIN
MY AUDI A3 DYNAMIC SHIFT GEARBOX, HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES FROM ABOUT 30K MILES, WHICH IN THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE ESCALATED TO A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE GEARBOX. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE AUDI SERVICE AT 48000 MILES, ABOUT: JERKINESS WHILE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR; LACK OF ADEQUATE ACCELERATION WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP; CAR DIES WHEN STOPPING ON INTERSECTIONS WHILE DRIVING IN CITY CONDITIONS; SHIFTING TO INCORRECT (NEUTRAL) GEAR WHILE OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS; AUDI DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THE REPAIR COSTS UNDER WARRANTY, AND IT DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT IT HAS SHOWN NEGLIGENCE IN DIAGNOSTIC THE PROBLEM, PRIOR TO A COMPLETE MECHANICAL FAILURE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IS SERVICE AWAITING A REPLACEMENT OF THE DSG (MECHATRONIC AND GEARBOX) WHICH ARE ESTIMATED TO COST AT ABOUT 7000 - 10000 DOLLARS. ACCORDING TO THE FACTS AND MY SERVICE RECORDS, IT IS MY BELIEVE THAT AUDI SHOULD BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
CAR STARTED BUT MADE HORRIBLE RATTLING SOUND THEN DIED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. CAR LEFT ME STRANDED OVER 60 MILES FROM HOME ON A SUNDAY NIGHT ON THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WITH A YOUNG CHILD. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP IN AUSTIN. DUE TO THE LATE HOUR AND HOLIDAY, NO WAY TO RENT A CAR TO GET HOME, SO I HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE COME AND GET US. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND BASICALLY EXPLODED SENDING METAL FIBERS INTO ENGINE AND OTHER SYSTEMS. GIVEN ESTIMATE OF $7,500.00 TO FIX THE CAR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AT 100,000 MILES, AND MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 4,600 MILES. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW, THAT IF THE FUEL PUMP GOES BAD IN A DIESEL ENGINE THAT IT WILL DO SO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. *TR
