| Description of the problem | From day 1 of ownership of the car, there is an occasional delay from releasing the brakes until the car moves forward when in gear on a flat road, up to 2 seconds. On hilly roads, the car will roll in the direction of the hill until the gears actually engage. This is very dangerous when trying to get into moving traffic (e. G. Getting into a feeder road from a complete stop) or when driving in cities like san francisco. I have taken the car to audi multiple times with this concern, have driven loaner a3 that did not experience this issue, but they never addressed this major issue. |
