AUDI Complaints

AS A SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN IN AN INTERSECTION (DOWNTOWN IN A MAJOR CITY) THE CAR STARTED JUMPING AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP. HOWEVER, ONE I GAVE IT SOME GAS WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION IT TURNED OVER, BUT THE CAR DIED TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PARK IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY TURBOS WERE BLOWN. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES, WELL MAINTAINED, AND IT'S ONLY BEEN USED AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WITH MY FRIEND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR STARTED MADE A BEEPING SOUND AND MY DASHBOARD SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SAFETY FEATURE BEING TURNED OFF/LIMITED. ALSO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT TURNED ON EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN MOTION. THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE SITUATION AS PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF WHEN IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN. THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (PODS) DETECTED A MALFUNCTION AND SWITCH OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT WAS BE OCCUPIED. I REACHED OUT TO AUDI REGARDING THIS AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE REPAIR IS NOT AVAILABLE YET I WILL HAVE TO WAIT. THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER FOR THIS ISSUE IS 21V198. THE MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER IS 69BY. I HAVE ATTACHED THE LATEST VIDEO OF THIS SITUATION. IF YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO IT SHOWS THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND STILL THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS THE 3RD OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. I USE MY CAR DAILY AND SINCE THE REPAIR IS NOT AVAILABLE YET THIS MAKES MY CAR UNSAFE ON THE ROAD.

WATER PUMP FAILED WITH 47K FILES - THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF THESE ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE Q7 OWNERS. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

MY 2019 AUDI Q7 HAS NOW GONE THROUGH 4 WINSHIELDS IN 2 YEARS. I DRIVE AN EXPRESSWAY TO WORK AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CRACK ON ANY CAR BEFORE. I HAVE READ INTO THIS AND OTHER AUDI Q7 OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WINDSHIELD IS NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE. I HAVE APPEALED TO AUDI, THEY DENY A PROBLEM. PEOPLE CAN'T JUST KEEP PAYING FOR THESE BRITTLE WINDSCREENS ON CARS. EVERY TIME SOMETHING TOUCHES THE SCREEN, IT CRACKS OR CHIPS. I HAVE INCLUDED A PDF OF CLAIMS, EMAILS AND PHOTOS OF SOME OF THE OVER 20 CRACKS I HAVE HAD.

I CONTACTED AUDI TO FIX THE SAFETY RECALL ON MY CAR, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE FIX AND ASKS ME TO DRIVE IT. I DO BUSINESS ON THE CAR AND HAVE FACED LOSS OF INCOME DUE TO THE RECALL.

VEHICLE FAILED TO NOTIFY THE OPERATOR ABOUT UNUSUALLY BAD BATTERY CELL. RANGE WAS DECLINING SIGNIFICANTLY BETWEEN CHARGE CYCLES. SERVICE CENTER WAS DECLINING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNTIL PROVIDED DETAILED INFORMATION AS WHY THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY. A BAD BATTERY CELL COULD RESULT IN FIRE AND DEATH.

I HAVE HAD FOUR TIME WINDSHIELD CRACKS.. THERE WERE NO LARGE IMPACTS AND IT SEEMS THAT THE WINDSHIELD MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE AND UNSAFE. OTHER VEHICLES UNDER THE SAME DRIVING ROUTE AND SPEED HAVE NEVER HAD WINDSHIELD CRACKS, BUT MY AUDI HAS ENCOUNTERED FOUR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN/MATERIAL DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED, ALMOST CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION. MY DAUGHTER WAS TURNING LEFT WHEN SUDDENLY SHE WAS UNABLE TO PROPERLY STEER. THANKFULLY, SHE WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON THE AUDI SQ5, BUT NOT THE Q5. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, MULTIPLE AUDI Q5 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

SOS LIGHT TURNED ON AND HAS BEEN ON FOR A YEAR. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND IT COSTS $1300 TO REPAIR AS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. DOESN'T AFFECT THE CAR SAFETY, BUT THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF AUDI A4 CARS AND I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO FIX THIS AS THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A ONE-OFF ISSUE.

BANG & OLUFSEN TRIM ON FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR IS PEELING OFF AND HAS CUT ME A COUPLE OF TIMES. I TRY AND PUSH IT BACK ONTO THE DOOR, BUT IT KEEPS POPPING OFF. IT IS VERY SHARP. EVENTUALLY, IT BROKE OFF AND I JUST STUCK IT BACK ON THE DOOR.
