2011 AUDI A5 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. AUDI OF AMERICA INC. KEEPS SENDING OUT RECALL NOTICES AND THE DEALER KEEPS CLAIMING THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AVAILABLE. ENOUGH ALREADY, EITHER MAKE REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE OR STOP SENDING NOTICES.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CALL FOR THE PAST YEAR TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN AUDI DEALERSHIP THAT HAS THE PARTS. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY WILL CALL WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN. AS I MENTIONED IT HAS BEEN A YEAR, AND I HAVE CHECKED IN WITH THEM SEVERAL TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE RECALL DONE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. AUDI HAS STOPPED MAKING REPAIRS AND HAS BEEN SAYING THEY ARE COMING OUT WITH A FINAL REPAIR SHORTLY. THIS HAS NOT CHANGED IN MONTHS. HOW DO I GET A COMMITMENT FROM AUDI ON GETTING THIS CAR REPAIRED?

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED 1ST LETTER APR 2016. NO ACTION. COMPLAINT FILED WITH SAFERCAR.GOV 11/13/2016. RECEIVED TEMP FIX LETTER 8/14/2017. LOCAL DEALER SAYS ONLY TEMP BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS ANYWAY. CONTACTED CORPORATE AUDI SEP 2017. THEY SAY LOCAL DEALER HAS PARTS. LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS. RECEIVED CARD FOR RECALL 11/13/2017. LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS! ??? RUN-AROUND ???

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 AUDI A5 CABRIOLET. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS DO TO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DEALER (AUDI FAIRFIELD, 435 COMMERCE DR, FAIRFIELD, CT 06825 (203) 951-6570) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT EACH DEALER RECEIVED A FEW REPLACMENT PARTS EVERY MONTH. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS, ALERTING HIM THAT THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WAS LEAVING HOUSE, CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY SO I DROVE BACK HOME, ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. HAVE BEEN WAITING LONG BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO HEAR BACK FROM AUDI ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION WARRANTY RECALL, CAR WAS UNDER 80K MI AT THE TIME I MADE REPORT, HAD ALREADY PAID FOR THE REQUIRED TESTS THEY NEEDED, TOOK THEM 4 MONTHS TO FINALLY GET BACK TO ME. RECEIVED SPECIAL CASE SINCE IT WAS A PRE OWNED VEHICLE & COULD NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SERVICE MAINTENANCE RECORDS SINCE I HAD JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE, NOT THE DEALERSHIP NOR AUDI HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WITH OBTAINING THAT INFORMATION. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT OR BUY BACK.

AUDI OF AMERICA ACKNOWLEDGED ON 2015 THAT 126,000 VEHICLES PRESENT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUDI OF SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO ON MAY 16, 2017 WHERE VARIOUS REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. DEALER INDICATED THAT OIL SERVICE NEEDED TO BE DONE PRIOR TO START OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PHASE 1(PCV VALVE) WHICH I AUTHORIZED. AFTER THIS, LOW OIL LIGHT TURNED ON WITHIN LESS THAN 900 MILES. ON JUNE 5TH, 2017 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM PHASE 2 OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DEALER DOCUMENTED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED 1.08 QT IN 1,000 MILES. HOWEVER, DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIR DUE TO TD1 FLAGGING BY AUDI OF AMERICA. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. I POINTED OUT THAT "AUDI OF AMERICA" DEFINES WARRANTY AS FOLLOWS "A GUARANTEE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL REPLACE ANY COMPONENT THAT FAILS AS A RESULT OF MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP". AUDI OF AMERICA IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S FAILURE REGARDING THE PISTON RINGS, NEVERTHELESS IS LOOKING INTO ANY EXCUSE TO NOT HONOR WHAT WAS AGREED IN THE OIL CONSUMPTION SETTLEMENT. PER 13-CV-02529-MMM-VBK "THE SERVICE ADJUSTMENT WAS NOT PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO ABUSE, ALTERATION OR MODIFICATION, A COLLISION OR CRASH, VANDALISM AND/OR OTHER IMPACT.' THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE CAME SINCE IT ROLLED OUT OF AUDI'S MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND VEHICLES MODIFICATIONS ARE NOT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AUDI PERFORMED THE VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS IN ONE OF THEIR PARTNER FACILITIES (GARAGE EUROPA) AS PART OF A SALES PROMOTION AT THE TIME IT WAS FIRST PURCHASED.

THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONOR FAILED WITH NO WARNING CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. AUDIVW IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE PART THEY HAVE REDESIGNED MORE THAN 4 TIMES. REPAIR COST IS $10-12,000 WHEN IT FAILS. REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART WOULD COST $700.
