Description of the problem	I have a question that i was hoping you could help me with. My family and i have been loyal audi customers for over 15 years and we have purchased many many vehicles from audi. One car that we currently have is a 2016 audi a3 convertible. When the car is put in "r" (reverse) the car goes forward before going backward. The car goes forward quite a bit as well, if it was just a few inches then i wouldn't have an issue with it but living in los angeles i have to street park and parallel park often therefore it is very dangerous that this is happening. I took it into the dealership and they stated that this is normal and it does this because its a 4 cylinder. I find this to be rather odd. I have never heard of a car going forward before going backward when put in 'r". The car is in great condition, never been wrecked or involved in anything. I have tried holding the break before putting it in "r', i have tried reversing the car with emergency break on and off, on a hill and on flat land. The result is always the same. Could you please inform me on your thoughts or advice. The dealership says its normal and the car is fine therefore i am writing you. All the cars we have owned from audi: q5, q7, a7, a8 have not done this.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
