VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OF MY 2007 AUDI A4 CONVERTIBLE HAS STUCK TWICE. BOTH TIMES, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND IT RELEASED IMMEDIATELY, SO I NEVER REPORTED IT OR ASKED THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. NO RESULTING INJURIES, BUT OBVIOUSLY A CONCERN -- PERHAPS TOYOTA ISN'T THE ONLY MAKE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TIRES
07 S-LINE UNDER 25,000 MILES AND JUST PUT ON 3RD NEW SET OF TIRES. I KNOW SPORT SUSPENSION WEARS TIRES QUICKER THAN NORMAL CAR BUT THIS RIDICULOUS.1ST SET LASTED 14,500 MILES,2ND SET 9,000 (I'M NOT A BOY RACER, I'M A SENSIBLE DRIVER)1ST 2 SETS OF TIRES WERE CONTINENTALS SO TRYING FIRESTONE NOW TO SEE IF THEY ANY BETTER. AUDI CARS ARE HEAVY SO THEY SHOULD ACCOMMODATE TIRES TO SUIT OR BETTER STILL, MODIFY CARS SO THEY ARE LESS HEAVY. YOUR WORTH UMPTEEN MILLIONS OF POUNDS AND STILL CANT SATISFY A LOT OF CUSTOMERS. READ THE PROBLEMS CUSTOMERS HAVE AND SORT THEM OUT WHEN U PAY MONEY FOR ANY CAR IT SHOULD NOT COST YOU EVERY 5 MINS TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERS ALSO THINK EVERYBODY IS 'DUMB' WITH ALL THE FEEBLE EXCUSES THEY COME OUT WITH. CUSTOMER CARE IS AN EMPTY 2 WORDS THAT DON'T STAND FOR ANYTHING ONCE THE CAR IS DRIVEN OFF THE FORECOURT. I KNOW LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE AUDI'S AND THE COMPLAINTS FROM THEM ALONE WOULD FILL A FOOTBALL STADIUM. LOVE MY CAR BUT SERIOUSLY THINKING OF CHANGING IT AFTER THE YEAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL CUT-OFF/SURGING WHEN ACCELERATING. ENGINE IS NOT THROWING ANY ENGINE CODES; HOWEVER, A LOSS OF POWER IS PRESENT WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CAM FOLLOWER AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ON ALL 2.0T FSI MOTORS FROM AUDI AND VW. MY CAM FOLLOWER HAS A HOLE IN IT (HAVE THE PART) AND THE HPFP IS WORN DOWN BECAUSE IT HAS MADE CONTACT WITH THE CAM LOBE, WHICH HAS BEEN SCARRED. REPLACEMENT REQUIRES A NEW CAM, HPFP AND CAM FOLLOWER. THE DESIGN HOWEVER WILL REQUIRE CONSTANT INSPECTION OF THE CAM FOLLOWER TO AVOID MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. ALL 2.0 T FSI ENGINES WILL EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. AUDI HAS A TSB #2013147/4 DATED JUNE 18, 2007 THAT WARNS OF THIS PROBLEM UPON CEL LIGHT BEING SHOWN. MY CAR NEVER SHOWED THE CEL LIGHT; HOWEVER, HAD THE OTHER SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HAD A HOLE IN THE CAM FOLLOWER, WITH SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CAM AND HPFP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SINCE I GOT THE CAR, A4 CABRIOLET 2.0T, I'VE BEEN ADDING OIL APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3000 MILES. THE DEALER WAS COURTEOUS, AND RAN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHEN IT'S AROUND 9000 MILES. THEY ADVISED IT'S WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGE, AND I SHOULD SEE IMPROVEMENT. WELL, IT'S NOW 21K MILES, AND I AM STILL ADDING OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. THE MAINTENANCE GUIDE SAID TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 10K AFTER THE INITIAL OIL CHANGE, BUT NEVER MENTION THE NEED TO ADD OIL EVERY 2-3 MONTH. HOW IS IT NORMAL? I TALKED TO OTHER AUDI OWNER, AND NO ONE EVER HAD TO ADD OIL BEFORE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. I DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AFTER I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS W/ THE SAME THE ISSUE ON THE MYCARSTATS.COM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SINCE I BOUGHT MY AUDI, I HAVE HAD TO PUT OIL IN IT MANY TIMES, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR A TURBO. I THINK THAT IS CRAZY, AND EVEN AN AUDI SERVICE MAN TOLD ME NOT ALL OF THE TURBOS DO THAT. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR SEEMING TO LOSE POWER AND JERK ABOUT TWICE A MONTH WHEN I AM USUALLY AROUND 70 MPH. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF FOR 1 SECOND, THEN IT ACTS FINE. THIS IS VERY STARTLING WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY COILPACKS AND DIVERTER VALVES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. SEVERAL WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT AS SOON AS I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAD TO START PAYING FOR THEM. THEY BREAK FAR TOO OFTEN AND ARE FAR TOO EXPENSIVE TO NOT BE COVERED BY AUDI. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER LEASING THE CAR 2 MONTHS LATER I HAD TO ADD OIL TO IT. THE ENGINE BURNS OIL LIKE CRAZY. 1 QUART OF OIL PER MONTH TO MONTH AND A HALF. THE ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT HAS COME SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING ME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD INTO THE CLOSEST GAS STATION TO BUY SOME OIL. DEPENDING OF WHEN IT HAPPENS, THIS HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT STRESSFUL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. I DO NOT THINK SO. IF THEY HAD TOLD ME THIS, I WOULD NOT HAVE LEASED THIS CAR! *TR

TIRES:SIDEWALL
A YOUNG LADY PURCHASED AN AUDI A4, TWO OF THE SUPPLIED TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR. SHE RETURNED TO THE DEALER, WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM. SHE THEN HAD THE TIRES REPLACED AT A DISCOUNT TIRE DEALERSHIP AT HER EXPENSE. THE SUPPLIED TIRES ON HER AUDI WERE CONTINENTAL BRAND, SIZE2354517. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A BAD PROBLEM, AND AUDI SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
AUDI 2.0T 2007 (2 MOS OLD)- AFTER ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER RELEASE OF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE CAR JERKED BACK AND FORTH AND REQUIRED FORCEFUL BREAKING TO DECREASE THE SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO BREAK SUDDENLY, WITH CONTINUED JERKING, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WITH THE CAR IN PARK, I TURNED ON THE IGNITION, AND ONCE AGAIN THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND I EXAMINED THE PEDALS TO SEE IF THE MAT WAS PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH IT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE. WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR MULTIPLE TIMES, ASSUMING THE PEDAL WAS STUCK AND THEN WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE RPMS INCREASING. NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION BECAUSE I FELT I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE CAR.

ONE WAS BLOWN FROM A POTHOLE...THE OTHER ONE WENT FLAT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 80 MPH FOR ABOUT 15 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER DEVELOPED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL.
