2009 AUDI A4 Complaints

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A SUBURBAN ROAD, DRIVING FORWARD, WHEN IT DEVELOPED FORWARD/BUCKING MOTION BEFORE STALLING/STOPPING IN TRAFFIC. UPON DEALER INSPECTION, THE VEHICLE'S HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED, WHICH DIRECTLY CAUSED A FAILURE OF THE ENGINE CAM SHAFT, RESULTING IN A COSTLY REPAIR TO CORRECT.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION AT THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. I CALLED BOTH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE AUTO MANUFACTURER. THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A TIMELINE FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND THEREFORE, IT WILL TAKE TIME TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIR BAGS. TOYOTA DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY. WHY IS IT TAKING AUDI SO LONG TO REPAIR THIS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. WHAT HAPPENS IF I WAS TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND I INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG AND IT WASN'T REPLACED ASAP. CALL TO AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE, SPOKE TO JUDITH AND AUDI MANUFACTURER SERVICE SPOKE TO ADAM. BOTH SAID THAT THEY HAD NO TIMELINE AS WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS AND WHEN THEY WILL REPAIR THE CARS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE 60 DAYS ARE LONG OVERDUE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER IN APRIL 2016, AT LEAST 6 WEEKS AGO, ABOUT THIS RECALL, BUT THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE AT ANY NJ DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE AUDI RECALL/SERVICE CAMPAIGN LOOKUP TOOL SAYS THAT [XXX] IN PARSIPPANY HAS THE PART, BUT [XXX] SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL COME IN. I COULD NOT REACH ANY PERSON AT THE (800) NUMBER FOR AUDI ON THE RECALL NOTICE, (800) 253-2834; I COULD ONLY LEAVE A MESSAGE WHICH HAS YET TO BE RETURNED. I CHATTED ONLINE THIS MORNING WITH SOMEONE AT AUDIUSA.COM/CONTACT US BUT THERE IS NO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE; ONLY AN APOLOGY IS OFFERED. PLEASE ASSIST IN GETTING THE NECESSARY PART TO A CONVENIENT AUDI DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUN ROOF DRAINS ON RIGHT HAND SIDE OF VEHICLE HAVE FAILED (FAIL TO SEAL OUT EXTERNAL WATER LIKE RAIN) LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF WATER ENTERING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND DRAINING INTO VARIOUS AREAS OF THE CAR DURING ANY MEASURABLE RAIN FALL. THE LAST RAIN STORM OF ABOUT 1/3" WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE FOLLOWING DAMAGE. WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT, SOME OF THE WATER POOLED IN THE RIGHT REAR BODY COLUMN SPACE WHERE THE MASTER COMPUTER FOR MUCH OF THE CAR IS LOCATED. THE WATER SHORTED OUT THE COMPUTER AND LEFT CAR INOPERABLE, UNMOVEABLE, UNUSABLE UNTIL IT WAS TOWED AND REPLACED, THIS INCLUDED THE PURCHASE OF A NEW COMPUTER AND ITS PROGRAMMING AND THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE CAR'S KEYS. ADDITIONALLY THE WATER SATURATED THE CARPET THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND THE SEATS. THE SUNROOF DRAIN REPAIR WAS EXPENSIVE AS WERE THE COMPUTER REPLACEMENT AND REPROGRAMMING. AUDI HAS SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR LEAKY SUNROOF DRAINS FOR MODEL YEARS 2005-2008, MINE IS A 2009 SO NO LUCK FROM AUDI ON PAYING FOR ANY OF IT, AND WHEN I CALLED TO COMPLAIN THEY DENIED ANY FAULT IN THE MATTER.

EVERY TIME I PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL (NOT GIVING ANY GAS), THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE REST OF THE COLUMN SHUDDER, VIBRATE AND MAKE A RUMBLING NOISE

THE HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BUCK SUDDENLY AND STALL WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC.
