AUDI Complaints

I STARTED THE CAR LAST FRIDAY, 11/15/2019 AND GOT A BUNCH OF SYSTEM ERRORS POPPING UP ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER. I DROVE THE CAR TO GET TO A SAFE PARKING SPOT AND NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL TOTALLY OFF CENTER ABOUT 70 DEGREES COUNTER CLOCKWISE. I AM NOT SURE IF THE TWO (ACCIDENT/CALIBRATION AND THE FAULTS) CONNECTED OR IF THIS IS JUST A COINCIDENCE. I DID NOT TAKE ANY NOTES OF THE FAULTS AT THAT TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE OR ANYTHING TO WRITE WITH. NOW, TODAY, I STARTED TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK AND WAS DOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IT WAS SCARY AS HELL HAVING THE STEERING WHEEL GO COMPLETELY OFF CENTER AND HAVE THE SUSPENSION HARD AS A ROCK. HOWEVER, THIS TIME I DID DRIVE TO A SAFE PLACE AND VIDEO TAPED THE FAULTS. THE ACTUAL FAULT IS: STEERING: SYSTEM FAULT YOU CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 11/15/2019, 11/18/2019, AND 11/23/2019. FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED SOON AFTER I STARTED THE CAR. THE SECOND HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE PARKWAY TRAVELING 60 MPH. THE THIRD HAPPENED RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FAIR AND SQUARE AND THEY DIDNT DELIVER IT TO ME

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

FUEL IS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE AND PRODUCING A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CAR. THE ISSUE IS VERY SIMILAR TO NTHSA CAMPAIGN 16V660.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AUDI INDIANAPOLIS (4610-B E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, (317) 853-4582) WHERE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE CAR HAS A SEVERAL SECOND DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IN THE ENGINE IDLE AUTO ON/OFF FEATURE. I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY RECALLS OR FIXES TO THIS PROBLEM. DEALER HAS NO FIX FOR PROBLEM.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, Q8 WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED FOR ROUGHLY 1-3 SECONDS WHEN COASTING TO A STOP OR IMMEDIATELY COMING OUT OF A STOP, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN STATIONARY ALTHOUGH GAS PEDAL IS APPLIED. ONCE THE VEHICLE RESPONDS TO THE DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR, AFTER A DELAY, THEN THE AUTO CAN ACCELERATE BEYOND THE REQUESTED ACCELERATION. IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR, LEAVING THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE IF TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC, ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN, OR TURN LEFT BETWEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM FEELS INTERMITTENT ALTHOUGH IT FEELS LIKE ITS BECOMING MORE COMMON. VEHICLE RESPONDS THIS WAY WHETHER OR NOT THE AUTO STOP FEATURE IS ENGAGED OR NOT.
