The car continues to smell like coolant and burns excessive oil. It has been taken in for service. Repairs have been attempted but problem still exists. On one occasion, service records indicate a test drive when the mileage remained the same. The oil consumption test I do not believe was performed correctly as I did not get the specific data metrics or points regarding starting point of measurement and end point. They also completed the test at only 1200 miles after requesting for them not to. I am concerned they are trying to hide a design fl…

While driving, car suddenly started overheating. Warning message asked me to pull over and let the car run idle. However, I was on a free way that was under construction and all shoulders were closed. So no way for me to stop for at least 4 miles. I was afraid that the engine would blow while driving the whole time. Took it to the dealer and they told me that the water pump is faulty. After looking at some Audi forums, it seems like this is a common issue with these vehicles. I’m surprised there has not been a recall since I am not the first pe…

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC, RANDOMLY, WITH NO OTHER WARNING SIGNS. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS TO RE-START THE CAR FAILED. CAR NEEDED TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A TURBOCHARGER FAILURE IN ONE BANK (DRIVER'S SIDE) THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE FROM AUDI AS A RESULT OF A CLOGGED OIL SCREEN THAT LED TO OIL STARVATION AND EVENTUAL CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TURBOCHARGER ASSEMBLY.

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. AFTER GETTING OFF OF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, WE APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION TO TURN LEFT. I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN THE CORNER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE AND GET OTHER VEHICLES TO GO AROUND, I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE OVER INTO A PARKING LOT. WE GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS LATER TOLD BOTH TURBO CHARGERS HAD FAILED.

The car continues to smell like coolant and burns excessive oil. It has been taken in for service. Repairs have been attempted but problem still exists. On one occasion, service records indicate a test drive when the mileage remained the same. The oil consumption test I do not believe was performed correctly as I did not get the specific data metrics or points regarding starting point of measurement and end point. They also completed the test at only 1200 miles after requesting for them not to. I am concerned they are trying to hide a design fl…
