3 Suspension problem of the 2015 Audi A3

Failure Date: 05/01/2015

3 issues: 1. After initial start-up, the car jumps gears and jolts forward for the first 3-5 minutes of operation, especially at lower speeds. This has been consistent since the car was purchased brand new in January 2015. 2. Also, at higher speeds (65-85mph), the car shakes noticeably - the wheels/tires have been rotated and realigned multiple times but mechanics have said it is an internal transmission issue. 3. Lastly, the tpms will come on every month and need resetting despite tire pressure being intact.

4 Suspension problem of the 2006 Audi A3

Failure Date: 05/15/2013

The car swivels sideways even on good, flat roads and at low speeds. It's been happening quite frequently and I don't feel safe driving it, knowing that it can shift to the sides and can hit the car next to me. I've heard this is a cupping or feathering effect and I've read that this particular brand and model is prone to developing such issues.

5 Suspension problem of the 2006 Audi A3

Failure Date: 10/15/2010

Car suspension/setup leads to excessive tire wear. Latest set of tires (falcon) are cupped at 10,000. Has happened to three prior sets of tires (total of 4 sets at 80,000 miles). Dealer claims it is the wrong tire composition, but offers no solution other than buying the expensive continental tiers they sell.

7 Suspension problem of the 2006 Audi A3

Failure Date: 04/19/2009

Chronic tire cupping due to a mismatch between vehicle specifications, such as weight, and suspension type. After experiencing this problem myself and then researching the issue online on multiple discussion boards the same problem is mentioned over and over again. Assessment by experienced mechanic is that cause must be inappropriate suspension system.

8 Suspension problem of the 2007 Audi A3

Failure Date: 03/04/2009

My 2007 Audi A3 has severe, unbearable tire noise regardless of mileage on the tires. I replaced my 1st set of pirelli p6 all seasons way before their tread was worn out due to the road noise only to find that the noise would soon return after approx. 7500 miles on the replacement set. I cannot replace tires every 7500-10000 miles.
