Description of the problem | The vehicle hesitates for 2 to 3 seconds when trying to accelerate from a complete stop. From june 23rd, 2005, when i took delivery of the car, until july 1,2005, i have almost been t-boned while trying to make a left hand turn, 3 times. The car is dangerous!! I took it in to the dealer on july the 1st. They told me then that that is the way the car is designed to operate. I then contacted audi customer relations, and was told the same thing by them. They are not willing to do anything about this problem and i beleive they hope it will go away. I have no way of checking, but i will guess that this is a chronic problems and has caused many accidents. |
