AUDI Complaints

CAR MILEAGE AS OF TODAY: 24100 AT 11000 BREAKS VIBRATED: CHANGED FRONT BREAKS AND ROTORS. AT 23800 BREAKS VIBRATED: CHANGED BACK BREAKS AND ROTORS . AT 23959 CAR STILL VIBRATES ON BREAKING: CHANGED AGAIN FRONT BREAKS AND ROTORS. AFTER REQUESTING FROM DEALERSHIP TO SEE THE NEW FRONT ROTORS AND HAVE TECHNICIAN AT AUDI MEASURE THEM THEY BOTH MEASURED AT 33.4MM AND 33.7MM. I DO NOT BREAK OR DRIVE CAR HARD OR A LOT. AS YOU CAN SEE IS A 2015 AND ONLY 24000 MILES ON IT. NO CITY DRIVING. I HAVE SPENT 5000$ THIS MONTH ON NEW FRONT AND BACK ROTORS AND BREAKS DUE TO VIBRATING WARPED

GOING DOWN HILL, ACCELERATING, RED LIGHT, APPLY BRAKES, HARD, ENGINE REVS UP TRYING TO OVER POWER BRAKES, BARELY STOPS, BUT ENGINE KEEPS ON CREEPING CAR FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC, MOVE SHIFTER TO PARK AND REVERSE TWICE, ENGINE SLOWS DOWN BUT ACCELERATES AGAIN WHEN BACK IN DRIVE, LIGHT CHANGES, DRIVE AWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS.

ONLY 500 MILES FOLLOWING AN AUDI OIL CHANGE, THE OIL SENSOR LIGHT WENT OFF NOTIFYING US TO ADD ONE QUART OF OIL. WE ADDED ONE QUART OF OIL AND CONTINUED DRIVING AND THEN THE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN. WE CALLED AUDI SERVICE AND THEY TOLD US TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND ADD ANOTHER QUART OF OIL. WE DID AND REPEATED ONE MORE TIME AFTER ANOTHER HOUR (75 MILES). AFTER FILLING THE THIRD TIME AND DRIVING, WHITE SMOKE STARTED BILLOWING FROM THE VEHICLE AND WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE AUDI DEALERSHIP 233 MILES FROM WHERE WE WERE. THEY SAID THAT THE OIL GAUGE WAS FAULTY WHICH SENT FALSE READINGS TO THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THAT THIS THEN CAUSED OIL TO GO DIRECTLY INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THUS CAUSING THE SMOKE AND FIRE HAZARD. CAR ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

CAR SELF ACCELERATED WHILE PARKING INTO A SPACE. IT IS A TDI VERSION WHICH HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A RECALL MODIFICATION TO COMPUTER THAT SAME WEEK. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT A UNDER 5 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH RPM, JUMPED A CURB AND STRUCK A POLE. 4 PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THE RPM INCREASES (TOW TRUCK DRIVER, AUDI DEALER REP, MY WIFE AND I.

RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER TRIM FOR AIRBAG IS LOOSE AND HAS BEEN DETECTED IN OTHER CASES TO HAVE POSSIBILITY OF BEING INEFFECTIVE IN DEPLOYING.

IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, MY 2014 AUDI A6 DEVELOPS FUEL-LIKE FUMES FILLING THE CABIN AND TRUNK. THE FUMES BECOME MORE INTENSE/PRONOUNCED WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR WHEN MOVING THROUGH TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TIMES IN 2019, MY AUDI HESITATED THEN STOPPED TWICE IN TRAFFIC. ONCE ON A CITY ROAD AND THE OTHER TIME ON THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY. AUDI SERVICE DIAGNOSED A GAS PUMP ISSUE. HOWEVER, A REPLACEMENT GAS PUMP DID NOT FULLY PREVENT GAS FUMES FROM DEVELOPING IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 17V781000/VOLKSWAGEN 20AR. BUT, I'VE BEEN TOLD OTHERWISE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND YOUR SITE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 AUDI A3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, HE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL IN HIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PARKED HIS VEHICLE IN HIS DRIVEWAY AND OPENED THE HOOD WHEN FLUIDS BUBBLING WHERE COMING FROM ONE OF THE COOLANT RESERVOIRS AND THE BURNING ODOR WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER AUDI BOISE (8400 W FRANKLIN RD #1, BOISE, ID 83709 208-377-5400) SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE TOWED WHERE THE VEHICLE REMAINED FOR A FEW WEEKS AND NO FAILURE WAS DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,500.

LEAKING FUEL, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF FIRE AND CAR STALLS ETC.. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT TURN ON. WARNING LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AND ERROR SAFETY MESSAGE IS ON SCREEN WHEN CARE IS TURNED ON AND OPERATING. ADDITIONALLY SEATBELT ALARM CONTINUES TO CHIME WHILE SEATBELT IS USED.

AFTER A PERIOD OF ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY, THE GAS PEDAL WAS RELEASED, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT STOP THE CAR, AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED ONLY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON.
