Internal NHTSA #	10767560

Brand	AUDI
Model	A3
Model Year	2006
File date	19/09/15

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	No accident has happened yet, but is one just waiting to happen. The vehicle does not respond after a roll stop. The accelerator has to be completely depress and wait a few seconds in order for the vehicle to start rolling. If i would need to merge into traffic after a stop at an intersection there is a great risk of a crash since the vehicle does not respond to equalize the speed of incoming traffic. The problem seems to affect many, many of these vehicles year and model according to multiple complaints from owners forums. Owners have complained even when the vehicle was brand new and audi have disregarded the complaints. According to owner's forums the mechatronix unit inside the transmission is at fault, and a simple software reflash from audi would solve the problem. This is quite similar to the ignition problem recently discovered in gm vehicles.
