AUDI Complaints

I HAVE CODE PO299 TURBOCHARGER/SUPERCHARGER A UNDERBOOST CONDITION. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY IN 2016 TO HAVE MY PISTONS AND RINGS REPLACED BECAUSE THE OIL CONSUMPION WAS VERY HIGH, NOW I'M BURNING MORE OIL AND I CHANGED THE DIVERTER VALVE I'M STILL COMING UP WITH P0299 CODE AND NEED TO REPLACE MY TURBO AFTER 60K MILES FROM THE PISTON AND RINGS REPLACEMENT...I THINK THIS ALL HAS TO BE PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND AUDI SHOULD REPAIR IT FOR FREE.

WHEN THE SUNROOF RETRACTS OR CLOSES IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE (SOUNDS LIKE AN MRI MACHINE). I KEEP IT CLOSED FOR POSSIBLE GLASS CRACKING SAFETY REASONS. THIS OCCURS WHILE IDLE OR DRIVING ON ANY STREET/HIGHWAY SURFACE. AUDI THINKS ITS A MOTOR ISSUE AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR ANY RECALL.

MY 2010 AUDI Q7 HAS A SERIOUS BRAKING ISSUE. WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED, IF YOU PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, IT WILL ROLL FORWARD AND THE BRAKE WILL NOT STOP THE ROLLING. YOU MUST WAIT ROUGHLY 1 MINUTE FOR THE VEHICLE TO NOT ROLL. THE TIME IS SHORTER IN THE SUMMER, AND LONGER IN THE WINTER. THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK, AND IT IS AS IF THE COMPUTER HAS A GLITCH. I WILL DEPRESS THE BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL FORWARD ABOUT 10 FEET. THIS HAPPENS IN BOTH REVERSE AND FORWARD. MY CONCERN IS THAT ONE COULD START THE CAR, IMMEDIATELY PUT IT INTO GEAR, AND HIT A PENDESTRIAN, CHILD, OR OTHER PROPERTY AND NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR UNLESS THEY INTUITIVELY KNOW TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK, WHICH MOST DRIVERS WILL NOT DO. I AM WILLING TO SHOW THIS TO AN NHTSA REPRESENTATIVE. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND AUDI NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS FOR A PROPER FIX. I CALLED AUDI'S NORTH AMERICAN HOTLINE TO REPORT THIS, AND THE RECEPTIONIST DID NOT PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH A MANAGER OR A SAFETY REPRESENTATIVE. SHE SAID THE CAR NEEDS TO GO TO THE SHOP AND BE REPAIRED. MY AUTO MECHANICS SAY THEY CAN'T REPAIR THIS, AND IT IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. AUDI NORTH AMERICA STAFF SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MY INFORMATION, PASSED IT TO A MANAGER, AND CONTACTED ME, BUT THEY REFUSED TO, SAYING IT WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS BUT TO CONTACT NHTSA. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 2014, I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM THEN, AND ADAPTED TO THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU MUCH SOONER THAN NOW. I APOLOGIZE. I KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT IF IT IS IN ANY OTHER AUDIS, THERE MAY BE PEDESTRIAN INJURIES OR DEATHS.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I DROVE A VERY SHORT DISTANCE TO RETURN HOME DURING WHICH ODD NOISE CAME FROM THE ENGINE. DIAGNOSTICS SHOW THAT ONE OF TWO TURBOS FAILED DUE A FAILURE OF THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM FOR THE TURBOS.

ACCELERATED FROM A STOP TO ABOUT 20 MPH, WHEN IT WENT INTO 2ND GEAR THE ENGINE REVVED AND SKIPPED INTO 3RD GEAR. WARNING STATED "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. NO REVERSE GEAR. YOU CAN CONTINUE DRIVING." REVERSE NO LONGER WORKS. ENGINE REVS TO 5000 RPM WHEN DRIVING 20-25 MPH.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE JERKS LIKE IT IS LOSING POWER. IT HAS DONE THIS ON BOTH THE INTERSTATE AND ON REGULAR ROADS IN MOTION. I HAVE HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN FEAR THAT THE VEHICLE WILL STALL ON ME. ON SEVERAL INSTANCES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS SHOW UP AND THEN IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THANKFULLY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ROLL OFF OF THE ROAD EACH OF THESE TIMES. THERES NO WARNING OR ANY INDICATORS THAT COME UP PRIOR TO THE CAR COMPLETING DYING IN THE ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERES SOFTWARE ISSUES BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR IT UNTIL AN UPDATE COMES OUT. I WAS TOLD TO TURN OFF THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE AND IT WILL WORK OK, BUT THAT HAS NOT HELPED. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD COMPLETELY FAIL AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WITHOUT NOTICE. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2020'S. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST MONTH 1/2

I HAD A STRONG GAS SMELL. I CHECKED INTERNET AND READ, 2013 AUDI A8 (VOLKSWAGEN) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2013-2015 AUDI S8 AND A8 VEHICLES. THE FUEL SUPPLY LINE FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP MAY BECOME POROUS OVER TIME, RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAK. IT COULD CAUSE FIRE. ACTION NEED TO FIX IT: AUDI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LINE, FREE OF CHARGE. WHEN I NOTIFIED FLOW AUDI IN GREENSBORO, NC, THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT AUDI AMERICA. WHAT DO I DO?

THE CAR HAS ISSUES WITH PARK LOCK WILL NOT STAY LOCKED AND WILL ROLL WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING USED ALSO THE CAR HAS DSG EMERGENCY MODE COME ON WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE. THE CAR HAS TRANSMISSION FAULT CODES CLUTCH 1 STAYING OPEN THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FAULT CODES THE FIRST CODE WAS UNEXPECTED / IMPLAUSIBLE MECHANICAL GEAR DISENGAGEMENT P2711 00 [200] - THE CAR WAS THEN WORKED ON AND WHAT WAS FOUND WAS BURNED CLUTCH DISKS THE CLUTCH PACK WAS THEN REPLACED BUT NOW A CODE OF CLUTCH 1 OPENS UNINTENTIONALLY P175D 00 [072] THE CAR ALSO WILL NOT STAY PARKED WHEN LEFT IN PARK IT WILL ROLL AND COULD POSSIBLY KILL SOMEONE BECAUSE THE PARK LOCK IS NOT WORKING

VEHICLE CAN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. SOMETIMES IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. OTHER TIMES IT ALTERNATES BETWEEN LOOSE AND STIFF, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR-COLLISIONS IN THIS STATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 AUDI E-TRON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUDI TYSONS CORNER SERVICE DEPARTMENT (8598 LEESBURG PIKE, VIENNA, VA 22182) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. UPON RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, WHEN SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE REMAIN UNREPAIRED. THE MECHANIC WAS AGAIN UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
