So there have already been recalls on some audis for oil consumption. I have a 2011 audi a4 quattro and it goes through oil like crazy. It's ridiculous i believe it's because of faulty piston rings which led to faulty head gasket witch leads to the spark plugs, and coils.
Piston ring defect and blew from over oil consumption. All years from Audi A4 2012-2019 recall law suit but they did not include 2015 which all years and models have same piston ring manufacturer defect it blew on me while I was driving home . Lucky I was in neighborhood and not on highway very unsafe.
The third brake light intermittently stops working. Being that it is intermittent, it tells me the led and circuitry are working. Also, a warning alert will illuminate on my dash instrument cluster and not when the light is working again. Upon further searching on-line, there is an issue with a solder joint cracking. I believe this is the case because when i jiggle the connector, the light will illuminate. Since this light is required by law, this is a very important safety issue. And a rather expensive one since the replacement part alone is $150-$200.
I experienced similar undesirable engine behavior on two occasions. Upon coming to a stop, the auto start/stop system stopped the engine. Shortly after, when attempting to drive away, the stop/start system attempted to start the engine, but failed; the starter briefly activated to turn over the engine, but the engine did not start and continue running. The car was left in the following condition: engine off. Gear indicator showing "d". Accelerator pedal unresponsive. Regaining engine power required turning the car off, applying the brake pedal, turning the car on, and selecting "d" with the gear selector. This behavior occurred on two occasions on different days; once on 16 march 2024 and the first time within several days prior. Both occasions occurred before the engine was at full operating temperature, and while the car was on a slight uphill slope. Ambient temperatures were in the high 40's or 50's fahrenheit. By luck, neither occasion resulted in an unsafe traffic condition.
Coolant leak from thermostat/ water pump housing.
Heating/ cooling system is not functioning correctly, continues to get warning meage from car heating/coolant warning, and engine coolant is leaking out
Turbo needs to be replaced after only 58,000 miles. This has been an issue causing recalls on audi models in different years.
I was rear-ended at a slow speed. I was stopped at the time. The driver who hit me was decelerating hard. Damaged to rear bumper. When i got back in the car, i realized that telescoping steering column had been pulled toward me. This would have been bad had i been shoved into the car in front of me and the airbags deployed too close to me. Luckily, this did not happen.
I purchased a 2024 audi a4 with 20 miles as a birthday present for my son on 12/20/2023 for $45,028. 81 cash, plus traded my son’s 2012 bmw 328i with 22,000 miles and they applied $8,500. 00 credit. This is an atlanta, georgia audi dealership. My son drove the car for one week and his salesman had an appointment set for him to bring his car back one week later to add audi connect software to vehicle and my son’s phone. We took his car back to the dealership and they added the software and we left. My son told me several lights starting turning on in his dashboard but he could not take the car back that day because the dealership had closed as we were leaving the dealership. I called the salesman the next morning and he said to bring car back and they would check it. My son could not bring it back until 10 days later on [xxx], because he was sick in bed. His apartment is about 20 mins from the dealership so when he returned his car had 100 miles from only driving the vehicle to and from the dealership those four trips. Oscar in service dept said he needed to leave the car over weekend and they would check it tuesday [xxx] since that was a holiday weekend, and oscar gave [xxx] a loan car. Oscar texted my son on [xxx] saying his car had a defective air bag module and that module was causing all the trouble lights to appear on his dashboard, and they could not fix it until 30 days because they had to order part from sweden. Oscar also said they had to keep the vehicle and it could not be driven until that part was fixed because of all the trouble lights in dash and he wanted to make sure the car would be ok when my son starts to drive it again. I don’t like the fact that the dealer has my son’s car we traded in and they have my full payment of the remaining balance after my trade in was applied to balance of car. Is this car a lemon and is it normal to buy a car only to have dealer keep it one week after audi connect software was downloaded? Thanks information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information
Since i bought this car in june 2023, i’ve had two instances where the presence feature malfunctioned when there was no danger of any accident. I’ve had one instance when all of the safety sensors illuminated at the same time while driving. Finally, this past saturday, my car malfunctioned and died/ turned off while i was driving. It took a minute or so to get the car started. A malfunction notice illuminated. The area traffic is congested, so people honking at me but nobody hit me. Luckily, i was not on the freeway.
