| Description of the problem | My audi a3 with dsg has been experiencing shifting problems from 1-2 and 2-3. On the 29th, while accelerating from a light in heavy traffic, the transmission shifted very roughly and the engine seemed to have lost power. When i looked into my mirror, the car directly behind me didn't expect my sudden loss of acceleration and came close to rear ending me. This rough shifting is getting progressively worse and i am going to take it to the dealer to have it checked out soon. |
