This audi doesn’t have a dip stick that comes with the car. It burns 1-2 quarts of oil a month and doesn’t indicate when your car is low on oil. It’s a guessing game when the engine says put a quart of oil in and I needed 2 and a half quarts to be full. It’s such a saftey hazard I’m surprised audi hasn’t recalled this engine. I spent over $1000 to have everything resealed and fixed because it just ceased one day due to not having enough oil

Aug 16, 2023

No oil dip stick. The engine sucks a qt of oil every 2 weeks without leaks and due to the lack oem dip stick not in if you overfill your oil you’ll get bad spark plugs.

The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who determined that the timing chain tensioner needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that there was low compression in the engine. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

CAR RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AFTER MAKING A QUICK TURN CAUSING IT TO LOSE POWER AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. WAITED FOR A FEW MOMENTS TO TRY AND START TO CAR, AFTER THE 3 TIME TRYING, THE CAR STARTE.

I HAVE A 2010 AUDI A4 WITH THE "MULTITRONIC" CVT TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE, THE CAR ROLLS-BACK (OR FORWARD) WHEN IN DRIVE, MUCH LIKE A CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS "NORMAL" AND FUNCTIONING "AS DESIGNED." WHILE THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE COLLISIONS WITH THE CAR BEHIND (OR IN FRONT) WHEN ON AN INCLINE, GRADE, HILL, PARKING GARAGE, PARKING LOT, ETC. THIS BEHAVIOR HAS CAUSE FRIGHTENING SITUATIONS IN WHICH I'VE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF HITTING THE CAR BEHIND (OR IN FRONT) OF ME. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE TO HONK IN FEAR OF GETTING HIT. I HAVE NOT OBSERVED SIMILAR BEHAVIOR IN VEHICLES WITH TRADITIONAL MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THIS BEHAVIOR SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO AUDIS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE SAME BEHAVIOR ON A FRIEND'S 2009 AUDI A4 WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION. *TR

Jun 16, 2011

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL VERY FAST. SHE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BUT SHE WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 300 MILES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 4,800. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

Nov 23, 2010

Oct 12, 2010

THERE IS A FOUL ODOR FROM THE HEAT/AC VENTS AFTER ONLY 4 MONTHS OF USE. THE CAR IS CLEAN FROM HEAD TO TOE SO I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE SMELL. I TOOK IT IN TO BE SERVICED AND THEY PREFORMED A TSB TO REMOVE THE ODOR. IT THEN SMELLED LIKE A MUSKY LEMON. A MONTH LATER THE FOUL ODOR IS BACK, NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING IT BUT NOT VERY PLEASED WITH THE BRAND NEW FUNK AROMA. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN AGAIN. *TR

Aug 30, 2010

DAMAGE TO SECONDARY RADIATOR CAUSED COOLANT LEAK. SECONDARY RADIATOR IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY SHIELDED OR PROTECTED FROM DEBRIS. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DEBRIS ON THE ROAD LEADING ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING AS MASSLESS AS A LARGE BUG COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND REPAIRED. *TR

I have current issue with my Audi A4 steering rack where im driving it randomly it pull up one side or the other i have looked up that issues with the Audi A4 and alot of people are having steering rack failed where there’s space in the steering where it causes play and possible clicking noise and uneven drive Alot of people have that issues with the electrical steering and for some reason audi never recalled it even tho it’s happening rn to alot of people including me

Sep 07, 2021

A BENT STEERING SHAFT WAS NOT KNOWN UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. THIS BENT SHAFT PUT EXCESSIVE STRAIN ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP, WHICH CAUSES FAILURE AT SPEED WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OF IT FAILING. THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO EASILY BE TURNED WHILE IN PROCESS OF TURNING THE WHEEL ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE IN A STRAIGHT LINE TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR OTHER STATIONARY OBJECTS. THIS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES UNDER BRAKING. THESE ISSUES WOULD BE INTERMITTENT AND NOT ABLE TO BE PREDICTED TO PREPARE AND TAKE ADDITIONAL MEASURES. THIS IS KNOWN BY AUDI UNDER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 2036032/2.

CAR SUFFERED FROM CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO KNOWN TIMING CHAIN ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE. HTTPS://TIMINGCHAINLITIGATION.COM/

Aug 07, 2019

PURCHASED A USED LEASE VEHICLE IN 2014, 63,000 MILES ON IT. LOOKED LIKE A CREAMPUFF. CARFAX WAS CLEAN. USED OIL EXCESSIVELY. WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER I COULD NOT GET CAR FIXED PER CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT BECAUSE I WAS NOT ORIGINAL OWNER OR DID NOT HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS. CAR HAS NOW HAD AN INTAKE VALVE FAILURE IN CYLINDER 3 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED. POSSIBLY CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE PISTON RINGS BREAKING. 101,000 MILES AND JUST OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED FOR $2500 EXTRA. CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AND STUCK 3 HOURS FROM MY HOME. AUDI OF AMERICA SAYS CAR WAS "FIXED" IN 2012 AND WILL NOT RELEASE MAINTENANCE RECORDS, CITING PRIVACY OF PREVIOUS OWNER, A CORPORATE LEASE. AUDI DEALER IN MELBOURNE FL WHO DID THE REPAIR IN 2012 WILL NOT RELEASE RECORDS SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WAS FIXED AND WHAT PARTS WERE USED. TOTAL RUNAROUND BY AUDI OF AMERICA AND AUDI OF MELBOURNE. I DON'T HAVE $7000 FOR REPAIR, AND, STILL MAKE PAYMENTS ON CAR FOR 2 MORE YEARS . A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE, FOR WORK. ALL 5 MILLION VEHICLES FROM 2009, 2010 AND 2011 WITH DEFECTIVE PISTONS AND RINGS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ALSO COMPROMISES CATALYTIC CONVERTER PERFORMANCE, AND LIFE. THAT'S ANOTHER $1200-$1700 TO GET REPLACED. AUDI CARE IS A JOKE. THEIR ARROGANCE IS ASTOUNDING.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ENGINE PROBLEM

Jul 10, 2017

CAR BROUGHT IN FOR MISFIRE CONDITION THAT RESULTED IN POWER REDUCTION/HESITATION WHILE DRIVING. DEALER DETECTED FAULTY INJECTOR. REPLACED INJECTOR AND ENGINE WAS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. DEALER THEN REMOVED CYLINDER AND OBSERVED PISTON RINGLAND DAMAGE. VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO EXHIBIT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. EITHER FAULTY INJECTOR OR PISTON RING DEFECT IS SUSPECTED TO CAUSE DAMAGE. LOOKING INTO REMEDIES THROUGH ARBITRATION OR OTHER MEANS AS AUDI IS AWARE ABOUT (I.E. UNDERSIZED RINGS / PISTONS). I WILL RETAIN ALL SUSPECT PARTS AS AUDI WILL NOT HONOR UNDER WARRANTY TERMS AND INDEPENDENT SHOP WILL BE PERFORMING REPAIRS, AND CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH AUDI USA. THE MANUAL STATES THAT NORMAL CONSUMPTION IS UP TO 1 QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES. PER AUDI'S RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU WILL BURN 10 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE YOU NEED AN OIL CHANGE. THAT ENGINE HOLDS 5 QUARTS WHEN NOT LEAKING IT THROUGH RINGS, REDUCING ANTI-KNOCK RATING OF FUEL DURING COMBUSTION. I BELIEVE THIS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AS ENGINE SEIZING COULD UNEXPECTEDLY OCCUR DUE TO DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. I BELIEVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS INEVITABLE. *TR

My parking brake keeps setting itself and then locking in place and it will not unlock now my gear shift will not shift I have no idea what's going on and it keeps happening and then it'll stop and it'll happen again it's going to cause an accident and it burns up oil like crazy I'm going through so much oil it's not even funny

SUSPENSION

1 complaint

THE COIL SPRINGS BROKE ON THIS VEHICLE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY HUSBAND ON 7/24/19. THE LEFT REAR COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE I WAS TURNING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ON 4/21/20. THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 81,000 MILES, BUT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I AM CAREFUL TO AVOID POT HOLES WHILE DRIVING, SO I DON'T BELIEVE THE CAUSE IS DUE TO MY DRIVING HABITS. THE PHOTO I HAVE PROVIDED SHOWS THE BREAK IS NOT DUE TO RUST. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE 50+ YEARS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING . MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT A BROKEN COIL SPRING IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT PARTICULARLY IF IT PUNCTURES A TIRE WHILE DRIVING. MY SUSPICION IS THAT THE COIL SPRINGS ARE DEFECTIVE GIVEN THAT THE BREAKS OCCURRED WITH 2 DIFFERENT COIL SPRINGS. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, I CHOSE TO REPLACE ALL THE COIL SPRINGS IN THE CAR BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY. I UNDERSTAND THAT VOLKSWAGON, OF WHICH AUDI IS A PART OF, RECALLED OVER 56,000 VEHICLES LAST YEAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE COIL SPRINGS. HOWEVER, I CANNOT FIND ANY INFORMATION REGARDING A RECALL FOR AUDI COIL SPRINGS.

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT STAYS ON FOR 30 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING. I TURN THE KNOB OFF THEN BACK ON. IT STAYS ON FOR 30 SECONDS AGAIN AND GOES BACK OUT. I JUST HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING BAD. I PASSED ANOTHER CAR WITH THE SAME PASSENGER HEADLIGHT OUT THEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT IS NOT BLOWN ITS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM. IVE CHECKED THE WIRING CONNECTOR TO HEADLIGHT AND ITS FINE. I DID MORE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT ALOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. I WORK AT NIGHT AND I NEED MY HEADLIGHT. IT DOES THE SAME WHILE PARKED

I BOUGHT CAR USED FROM AN AUDI DEALER, AND MONTHS LATER THE CAR RATTLED AND THE WHOLE CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN I TURNED IT ON IN THE MORNING. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON AGAIN, THIS STOPPED THE PROBLEM. I THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY THE WEATHER OF AROUND 53 DEGREES F. MONTHS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN TWO MORE TIMES BUT THIS TIME THE WEATHER WAS NOT COLD AND I DROVE AN HOUR EARLIER. IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, I DROVE 40 MILES AND WHEN PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. I COULD NOT POSSIBLY TURNED IT OFF DUE TO BOTH OF MY HANDS WERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THANKS GOD I WAS DRIVING SLOW BECAUSE MY KIDS WERE OUTSIDE. I CHECKED THE KEY AND IT WAS STILL PUSHED DOWN. MY HUSBAND THAT WAS ALSO OUTSIDE NOTICED WHAT HAPPENED, HE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I HAD ALREADY TAKEN THIS VEHICLE FOR MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE CAR TURNING OFF. ONCE THE DEALER WAS DONE TROUBLESHOOTING THEY SAY THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE SOMETIMES SHAKING THE WHOLE CAR WHEN TURNING ON. AND AS FOR MY STEERING I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM, I PAID FOR NEW TIRES, ALIGNMENT, AND FOR TIRE BALANCE. I REALLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO KEEP TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO SAY THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

1 complaint

DURING AN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR (AUDI A4 '10) AND REMAINED STUCK TO THE FLOOR EVEN AFTER THE FOOT WAS REMOVED. THE CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AT THIS TIME. THE TACHOMETER INDICATED THE ENGINE WAS REDLINING IN NEUTRAL WHILE THE FOOT WAS STILL OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS ENGINE SPEED LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS THEN THE ACCELERATOR APPEARED TO BECOME UNSTUCK AND CAR OPERATION RETURNED TO NORMAL. AN AFTERMARKET FLOOR MAT WAS IN PLACE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THE MAT WAS "ZIP TIED" BACK TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOUNT SO IT WOULD NOT SHIFT FORWARD AND POSSIBLY INTERFERE IN CLUTCH, BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR OPERATION. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THE SAME DAY, THE DRIVER CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE FLOOR MAT WAS PROPERLY PLACED AND STILL ZIP TIED AND IT WAS. THE FLOOR MAT WAS ZIP TIED TO BEGIN WITH BECAUSE THERE WAS ONE OTHER EPISODE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO THAT THE DRIVER THOUGH MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO SLIPPAGE OF THE FLOOR MAT. OBVIOUSLY THIS INITIAL EVENT A YEAR AGO COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO CAUSES OTHER THAN THE FLOOR MAT. *TR
