AUDI Complaints

ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, THE ALUMINUM WRAP THAT COVERS THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE USED BEGAN TO PEEL AT THE CREASE. WHEN I REACHED TO OPEN MY PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, THE ALUMINUM DEEPLY CUT MY FINGER. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF.

MY CAR IS A REALLY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL OR GASOLINE IN THE CABIN IT'S SUPER SEVERE AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROMDOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S RUNNING IF I'M DRIVING SUMMER STARTING IT IT'S IT'S JUST TAKES A LITTLE WHILE FOR IT TO START TO STINK AND THEN ONCE IT'S BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE MINUTES IT STARTS TO JUST WREAK

OIL CONSUMPTION - CHECK ENGINE ADD OIL LIGHTS COME ON EVERY 200 TO 300 MILES ADD A QUART OF OIL THEN AGAIN AFTER 200+ MILES ADD ANOTHER QUART. AUDI WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM AND RECALL. I HAVE 108K MILES 90% HIGHWAY. 5 YEAR 80K WARRANTY IT STARTED AFTER 80K MILES. I HAVE SPENT $3K THE PAST SIX MONTHS WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE.

I HAVE GONE GONE TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES VISITS RIGHT AFTER I HAD THE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES DONE. THE OIL LIGHT / CONSUMPTION ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER I'VE GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE, BUT 7,000 MILES BEFORE THE NEXT ONE IS DUE. I GET AFRAID THINKING THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF OIL . I DO NOT HAVE ANY OIL LEAKS. OIL IS LEAKING AROUND LADDER FRAME. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOW ISSUE FOR A FEW YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING AND AUDI WILL NOT RESOLVE.

NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD IS SOAKED AFTER IT RAINS. THIS HAPPENS IF IT IS PARKED OR IF YOUR DRIVING. ALL DRAINS ARE CLEAR AND WHEN DROPPING HEADLINER, NOTICED A "WATER" WAY RUNNING DOWN TOWARDS PASSENGER PILLAR, ON PILLAR AIRBAG AND DOWN TO FLOOR BOARD. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MANY OTHER 2010 AUDI Q5'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IMPLIED THIS IS PROBABLY WHY MY SUNROOF MOTOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING ANYMORE DUE TO WATER GETTING IN AND THEY QUOTED ME $2500 TO FIX THIS MANUFACTURE FLAW. IF MY VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN IN A WRECK AND THE SUNROOF FRAME IS BAD, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS?

AIRBAG ISSUE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. A RECALL WAS DONE IN DECEMBER 2019 AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND NOW THE DEALER WANTS MORE THAN $1,300 TO FIX THE ISSUE.

BOTH TURBOCHARGERS FAILED DUE TO OIL STARVATION AT JUST OVER 45000 MILES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND REQUIRED THE VEHICLE TO BE TRANSPORTED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AS A MAJOR FAILURE.

LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN BACKING UP/ON REVERSE COMING FROM FRONT BRAKES. ADVISED AUDI DEALERSHIP AT ROCHERST HILLS, MI FOR THE ISSUE WHEN THE CAR WAS LESS THEN 2 YEARS OLD AND WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON IT, BUT SERVICE ADVISER SAID THERE WAS NO BULLETIN TSB, SERVICE CAMPAIG OR RECALL FOR THE THE ISSUE. I SHOULD PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR THE SERVICE. AFTER SPEAKING TO AN AUDI REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTLY, I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A TSB FOR THE CAR AND MY CAR IT SHOULD BE SERVICED. WHEN CONTACTED THE SAME DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED THAT I WAS OUT OF 24,000 MILES (BY 1,000 MILES) OR 2 YEARS WARRANTY (OUT 4 MONTHS) AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THEM THAT THE OTHER ADVISED TOLD ME THERE IS NO COVERAGE AVAILABLE, WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER COVERAGE LIMITS, THEN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ADVISER DOS NOT WORK WITH THEM ANYMORE. I OPENED A COMPLAIN WITH AUDI CUSTOMER CARE AND AFTER 2 WEEKS, AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT THE DEALER ADVISED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE ROTOR AND PADS DUE TO DUST'.. AUDI COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS THEY HAVE A RELATIOSHIP WITH THE DEALERSHIP, AS PER CUSTOMER SERVICE REPERSENTATIVE. THE SQUEAING IS VERY, VERY LOUD, MY 3 KIDS AND PEOPLE AROUND GET SCARED OR WONDERING WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEN I PRESS BRAKES WHILE ON REVERSE. NEITHER AUDI USA OR AUDI ROCHERSTER HILLS, MI CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETYBUT JUST OUR MONEY.

REGARDING: NHTSA CAMPAIGN# 19V474000 RECALL# 69Z4 VEHICLE WAS TAKING INTO AUDI DEALERSHIP IN CUYAHOGA FALLS OH AND COMPLETED THE SAFETY RECALL FIX. 11 MONTHS LATER, THE PODS SYSTEM INDICATED ANOTHER CIRCUIT FAILURE. TAKE BACK INTO SAME DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED SAME SAFETY RECALL FAILURE. WOULD NOT HONOR THE 12MTH/12K WARRANTY AS I WAS ABOUT 5K MILES PAST. THEY WANT ABOUT $700 TO FIX. I AM DECIDING NOT TO HAVE THEM FIX IT. I HAVE HEARD THIS PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. SO RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO PASSENGER AIR BAGS AND LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BYPASS THE PODS CIRCUIT TO STAY ON ALWAYS I GUESS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A STATE HIGHWAY THE AUDI ADAPTIVE CRUISE ASSIST CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYS AND DISABLES THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE ASSIST FUNCTION FOR RANDOM/UNKNOWN PERIODS OF TIME. THIS ERROR HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN USING THE AUDI ADAPTIVE CRUISE ASSIST, THE VEHICLE WILL COME TO SUDDEN STOPS WHEN USING IF A CAR IS IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, PARALLEL TO THE VEHICLE.
