Description of the problem | While stopped at an intersection waiting to turn left across traffic, let off brake to accelerate while turning when the engine hesitated. Pressing the gas pedal at this moment resulted in minimal car movement placing my car in the path of oncoming traffic. I pressed the gas pedal more and the car finally over accelerated resulting in some loss of control in the turn. This is not the first time i have noticed engine hesitation from a stop. The same hesitation has occurred at four way stops and stop lights. The engine hesitation occurs more often at lower fuel tank levels and colder ambient conditions. The engine hesitation feels like either an air pocket in the fuel line or drive transmission issue. I took the car to my audi dealer to investigate on 12/5/2014. The audi dealer stated that this issue is related to turbo lag and/or cvt rev up. I have owned other vehicles with a turbo engine and cvt transmission with no hesitation issues. A traffic accident is a likely outcome with this inconsistent engine hesitation. I have also file a complaint with audi usa. |
