AUDI Complaints

THERE IS A NOTICEABLE THROTTLE LAG (HESITATION) WHEN THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE IS ENABLED, AND THE CAR COMES OUT OF A ROLLING STOP (EX. WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN). DISABLING THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE OR SELECTING SPORT MODE NEGATES THE ISSUE.

THERE CAN BE A PROFOUND LAG IN ACCELERATION AT CRITICAL TIMES. I CAN COME TO AN INTERSECTION AND SLOW. WHEN THE GAP IS SAFE TO TURN WITH TRAFFIC OR ACROSS TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL NOT PICK UP AND GO. IT WILL LAG AND NOT ACCELERATE. I WILL COAST INTO THE INTERSECTION AND I FEEL AS IF I COULD BE BROADSIDED. THE LAG IS ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS. NOTHING....JUST A DEAD ROLL. IT WILL PICK UP AND ACCELERATE AT 3-4 SECONDS. I FEEL THAT THE GAP I WAITED FOR WAS TYPICALLY SAFE FOR OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN. IT IS NOT TURBO LAG....I OWN PLENTY OF DIESELS. IT IS DANGEROUS. IT CAN'T BE PREDICTED. IT CANNOT BE PREDICTED. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY YOU. AUDI SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST. THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE. THEY STATE THE VEHICLE OPERATES AS DESIGNED. BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 AUDI A6. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AUDI OF ROANOKE (2006 PETERS CREEK RD, ROANOKE, VA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 29 AND SUV STARTED ACTING FUNNY AND THEN STOPPED. CALLED AUDI CARE AND THEY HAD TRUCK TOWED TO OMAHA NE. THEY PUT IN NEW FUEL TANK, PUMP AND LINE. HAD MY SUV IN SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER DRIVING AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON. I STOPPED AND PUT GAS IN AND GOT HOME. DROVE INTO THE GARAGE AND FUEL WAS RUNNING OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. CALLED AUDI CARE AGAIN AND COULDN'T GET TOWED UNTIL FUEL STOPPED LEAKING BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR OVER TWO WEEKS AGAIN. SO, OUT OF OVER 6 WEEKS I HAVE HAD MY Q7 FOR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 AUDI A3. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH MEANT THE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. AUDI OF MEADOW LANDS(425 ROUTE 3, EAST SECAUCUS, NJ 07094) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE PART FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V474000(AIR BAGS) WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS TRAILING MY WIFE AND CHILDREN HOME ONE EVENING WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL ON HER AT AN INTERSECTION. I SIGNALED FOR HER TO PULL INTO A NEARBY GAS STATION SO I COULD TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CAR. AS THE IDLING GOT ROUGHER, IT FINALLY STALLED OUT COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER, WHERE THEY INCORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND SAID IT NEEDED A CRANKCASE VENTILATION VALVE. I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN REPAIRED $3,500 LATER. WHEN I ARRIVED, THE CAR STILL HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME IN THE CURRENT CONDITION EVEN THOUGH AUDI SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY REDIAGNOSED THE CAR AND SAID THE TURBOS WERE GOING OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CLEARLY, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURIED. BECAUSE THESE PARTS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING AND AUDI IS PUTTING A PATCH ON THEM TELLING AND CUSTOMERS THAT THE CARS ARE SAFE TO DRIVE IS IRRESPONSIBLE, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!

FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE TRIP AND FORTUNATELY WAS ON ROADS WITH LOW TRAFFIC.

THE DSG TRANSMISSION IN MY AUDI S4 EXPERIENCES ABRUPT JERKING FROM 2ND TO 1ST GREAT WHILE DECELERATING. IT ALSO JERKS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS BEING HIT WHILE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND WHEN ACCELERATING NORMALLY.
