2019 AUDI A6 Complaints

AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY REQUIRING YOU TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND HAPPENS WHEN THE AUTO ON/OFF IS ON OR OFF. LEADS TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN IN CITY TRAFFIC OR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON HIGHWAY. TWO TRIPS TO AUDI AND THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES ON THE ENGINE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. MAKES FOR VERY NERVOUS DRIVING WHEN EVERY STOP LIGHT MAY CAUSE YOUR CAR TO STALL. MOST RECENT ISSUE THE CAR WOULD RE-START AND IMMEDIATELY STALL, AND THEN STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. *TR

I ACQUIRED THIS CAR (2.0T) TWO NIGHTS AGO AND ON THREE OCCASIONS (SO FAR) THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLS WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. NOT THE TYPICAL AUTO ON/OFF FEATURE FUNCTION. I HAVE TO RESTART THE IGNITION AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AGAIN. ONCE, EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. SO FAR, THE ONLY CONSISTENT SCENARIO IS WHEN I AM ON THE SECOND LEG OF A TRIP. FOR EXAMPLE, I GET IN THE CAR AT MY OFFICE, DRIVE TO A STORE OR DAYCARE. GET BACK IN THE CAR, START UP, DRIVE A COUPLE OF MILES AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AT A COMPLETE STOP. VERY UNNERVING ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON IT. I'VE LOOKED ACROSS THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE FOR VW AND AUDI DRIVERS OF RECENT MODEL CARS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I PURCHASED ANEW AUDI A6 ON SEP 11, 2019. IN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS, FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES, THE "START STOP SYSTEM" FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. I WOULD BE STOPPED AND WHEN I TRIED TO START AGAIN THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. IN ORDER TO START THE CAR BACK UP, I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART USING THE START BUTTON. THIS RESULTED IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ON A STEEP INCLINE AND THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. ANOTHER TIME A FIRE TRUCK WAS TRYING TO GET THROUGH ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR STARTED BACK UP TO PULL FURTHER OVER ON THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO SERVICE TWICE. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT AND DROVE THE CAR BUT THIS START STOP ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR SOME FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCUR AGAIN.

THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE HAS STOPPED THE ENGINE. MOST COMMONLY AT A STOP LIGHT AT A MAJOR CITY INTERSECTION, WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE LONGER. WHEN THE SYSTEM ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE, IT ROUGH IDLES AND THEN THE DRIVE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE, CAUSING YOU TOO LOSE ALL POWER. THIS LEAVES YOU STRANDED, AND RISKS CAUSING SOMEONE TO REAR-END YOUR VEHICLE IF THE LIGHT CHANGES. PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, AND THEN TURNING THE IGNITION BACK ON RESUMES ENGINE FUNCTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SO FAR THE SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE.

MY 6 WEEK OLD AUDI A6 WAS TOTALED WHEN I WAS DRIVING 20 MPH! I LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK MY ODOMETER, AND WITHIN THAT TIME, NO WARNING SIGNALS , BRAKES, ETC. ALERTED ME! THIS CAR HAD ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES! THAT MORNING I WAS ON A TREE LINED DRIVE TO THE TENNIS COURTS! NO ALERTS! HIT A TREE AND ALL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED! TREMENDOUS IMPACT FOR 20 MPH! I WAS ALL BANGED UP, CAR TOTALED! I AM STILL IN DISBELIEF...THOUGHT I HAD THE WORLD'S SAFEST CAR. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A PROBLEM???

VEHICLE, WHICH I HAVE OWNED SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2019, WAS STATIONARY. AS I OPENED THE TRUNK LID BY PULLING UP ON THE HANDLE, I LEANED SLIGHTLY INTO THE TRUNK TO VIEW AN OBJECT. AT THIS POINT, THE LID STARTED TO CLOSE, TOUCHING THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND NECK. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED LATER IN THE DAY TO ANOTHER PERSON.

AUDI WESTMONT LEASED ME A BRAND NEW 2019 A6 LAST NOVEMBER 12, 2018. THEY CLAIM "ALL" OF AUDI'S 2019 A6'S COME WITH "SUMMER TIRES" ON THEM AND GETTING AN "ALL SEASON" OR "WINTER" TIRE IS NOT POSSIBLE UNLESS I PAY ANOTHER $2,690.83 FOR FOUR MORE "WHEELS AND WINTER TIRES". I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS ON THEIR "SUMMER TIRES" BRIDGESTONE TURANZA T005 SUMMER TIRES. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH LESS THAN ONE INCH OF SNOW ON THE GROUND, I TOTALLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE BRAKING. MY WIFE REFUSED TO RIDE AGAIN WITH ME WITH THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. I FINALLY WENT BACK IN AND HAD TO PURCHASE FROM THEM FOUR NEW SOTOZERO3 WINTER TIRES AND FOUR NEW WHEELS. I NOW HAVE 8 NEW TIRES AND 8 NEW WHEELS. MY COMPLAIN IS WITH AUDI, NOT THE DEALER. SELLING OR LEASING THESE VEHICLES WITH SUMMER TIRES ONLY IN A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA THAT EXPERIENCES WINTERS SUCH AS SUBURBAN CHICAGO, IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. AUDI NEEDS TO BE STOPPED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THANK YOU!

STOP ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TOO HIGH LIGHT COMES ON DEALER DOES NOT HAVE SOLUTION. ENGINE COULD BLOW DURING OPERATION AND CAUSE ACCIDENT. VEHICLE RECALL NEEDED
