2010 AUDI A4 Complaints

FUEL INJECTOR FAILS, CAR SPUTTERS, STALLS. SMOKE VISIBLE. ONCE FUEL WAS SEEN EXITING EXHAUST. HAS OCCURRED TWICE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL VERY FAST. SHE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BUT SHE WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 300 MILES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 4,800. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHCLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,500.

THERE IS A FOUL ODOR FROM THE HEAT/AC VENTS AFTER ONLY 4 MONTHS OF USE. THE CAR IS CLEAN FROM HEAD TO TOE SO I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE SMELL. I TOOK IT IN TO BE SERVICED AND THEY PREFORMED A TSB TO REMOVE THE ODOR. IT THEN SMELLED LIKE A MUSKY LEMON. A MONTH LATER THE FOUL ODOR IS BACK, NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING IT BUT NOT VERY PLEASED WITH THE BRAND NEW FUNK AROMA. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 AUDI A4 WITH THE "MULTITRONIC" CVT TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE, THE CAR ROLLS-BACK (OR FORWARD) WHEN IN DRIVE, MUCH LIKE A CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS "NORMAL" AND FUNCTIONING "AS DESIGNED." WHILE THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE COLLISIONS WITH THE CAR BEHIND (OR IN FRONT) WHEN ON AN INCLINE, GRADE, HILL, PARKING GARAGE, PARKING LOT, ETC. THIS BEHAVIOR HAS CAUSE FRIGHTENING SITUATIONS IN WHICH I'VE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF HITTING THE CAR BEHIND (OR IN FRONT) OF ME. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE TO HONK IN FEAR OF GETTING HIT. I HAVE NOT OBSERVED SIMILAR BEHAVIOR IN VEHICLES WITH TRADITIONAL MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THIS BEHAVIOR SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO AUDIS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE SAME BEHAVIOR ON A FRIEND'S 2009 AUDI A4 WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION. *TR

DAMAGE TO SECONDARY RADIATOR CAUSED COOLANT LEAK. SECONDARY RADIATOR IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY SHIELDED OR PROTECTED FROM DEBRIS. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DEBRIS ON THE ROAD LEADING ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING AS MASSLESS AS A LARGE BUG COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND REPAIRED. *TR

2010 AUDI S4 NEW VEHICLE WITH 5,200 MILES DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND PASSING A CAR WHEN WATERPUMP FAILED. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND REPAIRED. *TR

2010 AUDI A4 2.0T HAS A SERIOUS LAG PROBLEM WHICH LEADS TO ACCELERATION SURGE ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. *TR

THE 2010 AUDI A4 2.0T WHICH I LEASED LUNGES FORWARD EVERY TIME IT IS DOWN SHIFTED IN TRIPTRONIC MODE (MANUALLY SHIFTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). TODAY, I REPORTED THE DEFECT TO THE SERVICE WRITER SCOTT SUMMERFIELD AT MCDONALD AUDI IN LITTLETON CO AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS AWARE OF IT AND THAT HE THOUGHT AUDI MIGHT BE WORKING ON A "FIX" FOR IT. I THINK YOU SHOULD COMPEL AUDI TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS BECAUSE THE LUNGING IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. THE MANUAL SHIFTING MODE OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS USED MAINLY ON UNSAFE STEEP MOUNTAIN ROADS TO AVOID RIDING THE BRAKE ON A DOWNHILL GRADE AND TO ACQUIRE GREATER CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON SLIPPERY TERRAIN WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FATAL ACCIDENT SUCH AS GOING OVER A CLIFF IS GREAT. *TR
