Automatic Transmission problems of the 2006 Audi A3

I notice after driving my 06 Audi A3 for about 30 minutes and with the engine warmed up, the car would jerk violently every time after warm up, and it would sometimes stall. My car is a automatic with dsg. The jerking happens when I applied the gas and it would happen in all the gears. There would be times where I'd be making a turn to cross on coming traffic, I hit the gas and the car would jerk giving me no power and stall in the middle of the street with on coming traffic! good thing they stopped for me! but what if I'm not so lucky the next time around? what if they don't stop in time? and what if I have my little sister, nieces and nephews in my car when it happens? I took it to the Audi dealer and told them about the problem but they found nothing that would cause the jerking and stalling. Twice! I feel like Audi knows about the problem but wont admit to it and do nothing. So many vw or Audi owners have the same issues. This isn't just about money, is about human lives which should be more valued than money to Audi.

For two days in a row, I have had issues with my automatic transmission shifting down to first gear. It occurs after a slow commute over a prolonged hill. Once I reach the top and accelerate, the transmission downshifts to first, resulting in extreme rpms. I have to shift the car done to low gear then back to d(rive) to reset it. The issue sounds extremely similar to issues encountered with the dgs system. My vehicle is a 2006 and therefore does not fall within the 2007-2009 vw and Audi recall. I'm extremely concerned about the cost I am about to incur to rectify this situation.

As with a lot of people that have complained about the Audi A3 transmission. The trans started to lag thru the gears especially around 40mph. Also in reverse, you would press on the gas pedal to go back and the engine would rev but wouldn't move and then all of a sudden it would launch backwards. Very dangerous. The car wouldn't get out of its own way sometimes.

Since the day I bought my 2006 Audi A3 2. 0t, I am having this issue. When I start moving from a complete stop (such as on a red light), the car jerks back and forth 1-2 times roughly. This happens all the time without fail. The jerk is so powerful that it makes all passengers' bodies shift forward with its momentum. It feels as if I slammed on the brake suddenly. Also, at times, from a stop when I put my foot on the gas, the car hesitates before slamming into gear after 2-3 seconds of not responding to my throttle input. This has scared hell out of me at couple of instances because I almost got into a read rend collision from someone behind me not paying attention and almost slamming into the back of my car. Luckily, as I know my car had this charcterstic so I react quickly in such occasions. From what I understand after reading plenty of stuff online, this is a problem with the mechatronics unit. Many people have had success fixing the problem by getting a replacement dsg/transmission/mechatronics unit installed. When I visit Audi dealer, they say everything is fine. I had been to Audi dealer for 3 times. But, I'm sure that everything is definitely not fine. Something needs to be done to fix this problem as everyone I have met with the same car has the same problem. Instead of ending into the hospital beds for whiplash from read end collision or worse, this has to fixed in all the Audi A3s.

My Audi A3 with dsg has been experiencing shifting problems from 1-2 and 2-3. On the 29th, while accelerating from a light in heavy traffic, the transmission shifted very roughly and the engine seemed to have lost power. When I looked into my mirror, the car directly behind me didn't expect my sudden loss of acceleration and came close to rear ending me. This rough shifting is getting progressively worse and I am going to take it to the dealer to have it checked out soon.

I have been experiencing dsg shifting issues. On slight inclines such as driveway entrances, when in reverse, I'll accelerate and there is no response. Many times, neighbors think I am revving my car. Also, when accelerating from start or a slow speed on d or s mode, the engine will rev very high close to 4000-5000rpm. A dsg service had been done by the dealer a few years ago and I had another one done last month suspecting that it could be the fluid but to no avail, I am still experiencing this issue.
