2008 Audi TT Complaints

I DRIVE A 2008 AUDI TT 2.0T WITH THE DSG GEARBOX. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY OR MOVE MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE TO SPORT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT SHIFTS IN TO NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF DOWN SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT LOWER GEAR. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES AT LOW SPEED WHEN THE CAR WILL HAVE A HARSH SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND OCCASIONALLY THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL ALMOST STALL WHEN TRYING TO START FROM A STOP ON A HILL. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SPORADICALLY WHILE I AM DRIVING AND APPEARS TO CORRECT ITSELF. WHEN THE CAR SEEMS TO FALL OUT OF GEAR AND IT FEELS LIKE I AM IN NEUTRAL I LET ME FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE TRANSMISSION WILL REENGAGE IN THE APPROPRIATE GEAR AND I HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS CONDITION HAS NOT LED TO ANY SERIOUS ISSUES YET BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES WHEN I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A LANE CHANGE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DROPS IN TO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS LED TO AT LEAST ONE NEAR ACCIDENT BU...

I PURCHASED IN JUNE, 2008 A BRAND NEW AUDI TT ROADSTER FROM NALLEY AUDI IN GA. IT HAS APPROX. 6000 MILES. ON JANUARY 27, 2009, I DROVE THE CAR FROM MY OFFICE TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE (ABOUT 10) MILES, STOPPING TO FILL THE GAS TANK. I DROPPED OFF MY GRANDSON AND DROVE HOME ABOUT 5 MILES. I LOOKED AT THE CLOCK WHEN I ARRIVED HOME AND IT WAS 6:15 P.M. AS I WAS CONTEMPLATING IF I HAD TIME TO MAKE IT TO PRAYER SERVICE AT MY CHURCH. I DETERMINED I WOULD GO AND WENT UPSTAIRS TO CURL MY HAIR AND STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BURNING. I MADE SURE MY CURLING IRONS WERE OFF AND UNPLUGGED THEM. I WENT BACK DOWNSTAIRS AND THE SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL. I CHECKED THE FIRST FLOOR OF MY HOUSE AND DID NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL. I LOOKED AT THE CLOCK AND IT WAS 6:30 P.M. SO I GATHERED MY PURSE, PHONE AND KEYS AND OPENED THE DOOR TO THE GARAGE AND LET THE GARAGE DOOR UP. AS I WAS DOING SO, I REALIZED THE SOURCE WAS CLEARLY OUTSIDE AS IT WAS VERY STRONG BUT I STILL DID NOT REALIZE IT W...

POSSIBLE DESIGN DEFECT IN THE 2008 AUDI TT ROADSTER. ON OCTOBER 18, 2008 I WAS ON A SUBURBAN STREET AND UNWITTINGLY DROVE OVER WHAT I BELIEVE WAS A SMALL ROCK. THE LATTER UNALARMINGLY BANGED INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. A FEW BLOCKS LATER I PULLED INTO MY FRIEND?S DRIVEWAY, PARKED, AND WENT INSIDE. FIVE MINUTES LATER I CAME OUT AND FOUND THAT THE CAR?S ENTIRE OIL RESERVOIR HAD SPILLED OUT ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. I PHONED FRED BAKER AUDI SERVICE, AND WITHIN AN HOUR THE CAR WAS BEING INSPECTED BY THE MECHANIC TEAM. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED BY FRED BAKER PORSCHE AUDI. HERE IS WHAT CONCERNS ME: AUDI MECHANICS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE SCREW THAT SECURES THE PAN HAD PUNCTURED THE OIL PAN BECAUSE IT IS TOO LONG AND NOT PROTECTED. HOWEVER UNUSUAL THIS OCCURRENCE WAS, I BELIEVE THAT AUDI SHOULD HAVE PROTECTORS OVER THE SCREWS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT DRIVEN INTO THE OIL PAN IF A ROCK HITS THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR. *TR

AUDI 2008 TT. THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS DO NOT GO OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BE THE DEALER THEY WERE NORMAL. I OWN 4 OTHER AUDI'S THAT DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS FROM 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS. I EXPLAINED THAT IF THEY DID NOT PUT THE MIRRORS ON THE CAR SO THEY COULD MOVE OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SEE, IT WAS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT. THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO MY COMPLAINT. I THINK THEY HAVE THEM ALL MOUNTED WRONG SO THEY LEAVE MOST OF THE LANE NEXT TO YOU, ESPECIALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR
