2014 AUDI A4 Complaints

With out warning vehicle engine shut down in the middle of the highway causing loss of power to breaks and steering. Mechanics assessment states engine is mechanically or electrically blocked. Upon investigating issue I found numerous law suits regarding engine piston failure. Please see civil action docket number L-001632-21. Found on class action .org

I've purchased this out of state, in 2017 December. The place was an Audi Dealers Belle Audi , in Elizabeth, New Jersey. I bought an extended on the paint and they failed to cover it when it was peeling, I since had the hood repainted, had a recall Fuel pump ( after run) , and steering column repair hbut at around 85,000 miles I saw an add oil light on my dash that indicated I needed oil, and then a service engine light- so I took it to South Burlington Audi in Vermont for a servicing and they said all was okay. Every servicing I've had done on it was at that dealership. They changed the oil/ filter etc.. but came accross as nothing was wrong when I asked and I was told - are you sure you need oil? and the girl who worked in their service department said to bring it by, and I did just 2 weeks later after the servicing that light came on again, She added a half a quart in the area I parked in. She said its fine and I left. Next thing I went buy 2 other times reporting it and their was only a sales agent and a man who worked in the Manager for servicing is english/autralian accented told me to just add oil. Then yesterday I went back after I was told on Monday evening this could be a breather valve. Well Audi has an issue with piston seals being bad- causing this and ever 150-200 miles I need to add a half a quart- and if not my engine light comes on. I've had 2 mis-fires and they told me up to 100,000 miles the class action suit covered- and they deliberately ignored this so they did not have to tear down my engine and fix the oil consumption issue. There was oil on the botton in one small area and on top, I had to fill it on the highway it blew oil over the top while filling I explained ,so they did a dye test and cleaned it and no oil leaks shown. They refused me a repair covered under the defective piston / ring/ seal class action suit 3 times. I would like to report them and file a law suit. Can you refer and assist me in this. It is an 2014 A4 2.0 Turbo.

Driving on a two lane busy road, car started to jerk and shut down. Lost steering capability immediately, car veered toward ditch, stopped. Called 911 immediately because the road was busy and cars could not safely get around my stalled vehicle. I told 911 that I was exiting the vehicle for my safety. I could not restart the vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages or symptoms alerting me to a problem UNTIL after the occurrence. I had no idea what was happening, and it was frightening. Never had this situation with any of my Audi's and I only have approximately 41,000 miles on it. After about 15 minutes a person stopped and was able to restart my vehicle (911) never got to me and I cautiously drove home. Called the dealer and had it serviced immediately. Diagnostics performed on it. It required a replacement of the fuel pump and fuel rail sensor. It found fuel pump control module to be shorting out. It seems that this type of issue should not be occurring on the vehicle with such low mileage.

The TCM doesn't properly communicate with sensors in the transmission of my Audi A4 such as one of the speed sensors and this issue is inspectable by most certified technicians. The equipment failure can result in the transmission not being able to engage the gears into a "forward" motion causing the vehicle to seemingly stall in traffic. It can also cause it to shift roughly, which could further damage equipment and pose higher safety risks to not only to me, but other drivers on the roads as well, both of which issues I mentioned have occurred to me on multiple occasions. I've recently had this issue diagnosed by an Audi technician. A "transmission malfunction" message also is present on the dashboard as a result of the aforementioned issues.

This is my second time contacting you in reg. this vehicle, it was previously in the shop for the same repairs the engine was replaced and the coolant system was fixed, now it has been about two mo and again it is having issues with the coolant system and now transmission issues, I also just found out that this vehicle was in a accident in 2014, in which I was told t had not been, so I am currently reaching out to the Audi dealership trying to receive previous service history done to vehicle Oasis report. I feel this vehicle is a safety hazard, I am a single mom and grandmother and I do not feel safe in this vehicle and wish I was informed of previous accident. In the time I have had the vehicle it has spent over 30 days in the shop and now its back in there.

Car is feeling jerky and shaky at the steering wheel when driving or sitting still. Very common problem on these cars. Will probably need new steering rack. This issue needs to become a recall. Very frustrating.

INTAKE VALVE SPRING ON CYLINDER 4 ( THE ONLY WARNING I RECEIVED WAS THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A RATTLING NOISE AND THE WHOLE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE EPC LIGHT THEN CAME ON, WHEN IT STARTS IT IS HESITANT TO START) I PURCHASED CAR ON 7/24/2020 THE FIRST TIME IT BROKE WAS ON/AROUND 10/27/2020 AND THE CAR HAS NOW ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUSE ON /AROUND 10/28/202, I AM UNSURE IF THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS OWNER, BUT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT IN A SAFTY DUE TO THE WHOLE ENGINE GOING.

The contact owns a 2014 Audi A4 Allroad. The contact stated that water had leaked into several electrical components including the back-up camera and the sound system. The contact stated that the radio could not be turned off and remained on with the volume on high. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who stated that water had leaked through sunroof rails that opened and closed the sunroof. The certified mechanic replaced the radio receiver. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and replaced the back-up camera system. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

The parking break malfunction light keeps coming on and off for the past few months. Last year the malfunction light came on and I was unable to release the parking break. My car had to be towed to mechanic for reviews. The light is now back; on and off for several months. I fear using my parking brakes.

Steering wheel doesn’t want stay center. Kicks left or right, in a kind of ‘notchy’ way. Almost feels like it wants to click from side to side and won’t stay centered. Vehicle was recently aligned and utilizes all OEM parts.
