POWER TRAIN
I WAS CRUISING AT APPROX. 55MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAD NO SYMPTOMS OF ANYTHING PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING AND DECELERATING AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I MADE AN EMERGENCY MERGE INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN AND WAS LUCKILY NOBODY REAR ENDED ME. AFTER INSPECTION OF MY TIRES WHICH WERE OK I GOT BACK IN CAR. D OR R WOULD NOT WORK. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE.

RECEIVED "GEARBOX MALFUNCTION WARNING, OKAY TO CONTINUE DRIVING" WARNING ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING 45MPH, THREE MILES AWAY FROM HOME. ARRIVED 20 FEET FROM MY RESIDENCE AND RECEIVED ANOTHER ERROR, "PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION." THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE; WITH PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO GAS PEDAL, NO VEHICLE MOVEMENT. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE CAR CORRECTED ITSELF AND WAS ABLE TO PARK IN GARAGE. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO AUDI AND THE RUDE AND UNKNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE ADVISOR TOOK MY VEHICLE AND APPLIED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT ERROR THAT NIGHT. MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE NEXT DAY AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME MALFUNCTION ERRORS BUT THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND ALMOST ENDED UP BEING REAR ENDED. SHE NOW FEARS FOR HER SAFETY AND WILL NO LONGER DRIVE OR BE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE NOW SITS AT AN AUDI DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO PICK UP THE FULL COST OF REPAIR ($5628) BEING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE REPORTED AND HAD AUDI DOCUMENT THE SYMPTOMS BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THERE IS A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) THAT DOCUMENTS MY ISSUE BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE VEHICLE ON THEIR DIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I REPORTED THE ISSUE BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEY KNEW OF THE TSB. *JS

ON SATURDAY MORNING 12/15/2014 START MY CARD AND HEARD A RATTLE NOISE ON THE ENGINE, FIRST TIME IT MAKE THAT NOISE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ON MY WAY TO WORK I STARTED HEARING THE RATTLE NOISE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT WAS LOUDER I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING AND KEPT MAKING THE RATTLE NOISE ON THE ENGINE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR NOT EVEN A WEEK AGO, AND ALREADY STARTED HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THE ENGINE MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACE SOON, SINCE THAT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CARS AND THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE SIGNS THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT GO BAD SOON. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING OF MY 2013 AUDI S4 HAS TWO PROBLEMS THAT MAKE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS: 1) THE STEERING SLIPS AT THE CENTER POSITION EITHER A LITTLE BIT TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT, SO THE CAR WILL NOT GO STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS TO GO STRAIGHT. 2) THE STEERING FEELS NOTCHY BETWEEN 10 O'CLOCK AND 2 O'CLOCK POSITIONS. IT IS LIKE THE STEERING IS OBJECTING THE DRIVER'S INPUT. BOTH ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON WITH ALL THE NEW AUDIS (2013+ MODELS) THAT HAVE THE NEW ELECTRIC STEERING ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF SIMILAR NHTSA COMPLAINS, ALL FOR AUDI MODELS WITH THE NEW ELECTRIC STEERING. 10505438 10503937 10503501 10499877 10499851 10498547 10498541 10498470 10498457 10498341 10495010 10545446 10509971 10503726 10503217 10501368 10501365 10500833 10495057 10573003 10572699 10548120 10543784 10524655 10509530 10507320 10507134 10503907 10502189 10499530 10497799 10495251 10494775 10562801 10574487 10569246 10556552 10543625. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
AUDI RECENTLY REPLACED MY 2ND THERMOSTAT (1ST WAS 11/2012 AND THE 2ND WAS 11/24/2014), NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND RETURNED MY CAR TO ME AFTER HOLDING ONTO MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE CHECKED OUT OKAY VIA A DIAGNOSTIC AND MECHANICS REVIEW. I DROVE MY S4 FOR TWO DAYS AND WHILE DRIVING, I RECEIVED AN INDICATOR WARNING THAT READ, GEARBOX MALFUNCTION REVERSE NOT AVAILABLE, YOU CAN STILL DRIVE. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY BUCK WHEN I ACCELERATED. THE CAR SURGED FORWARD WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH WAS ALARMING TO BOTH MY 10YR OLD DAUGHTER AND I. OTHER CARS HAD TO DRIVE AROUND US AND ONE VEHICLE ALMOST HIT MY CAR IN THE REAR. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT A LIMITED SPEED AND IMMEDIATELY, THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR LIT UP AND THE CAR LOST SPEED. THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AT 10 MPH AND I LIMPED BACK TO A RELATIVES UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE. ONCE I PARKED I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO REVERSE OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. I CALLED AUDI AND THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST AUDI SERVICE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUDI AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR THE RESULTS OF THEIR FINDINGS. I HAVE ALREADY INVESTED OVER $1,750 IN VEHICLE REPAIRS (THERMOSTAT AND REAR BRAKES/ROTORS). I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO INVEST MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE PIT. AUDI NEEDS TO RECALL THESE FAULTY PARTS (THERMOSTAT AND MECHATRONIC) AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN FORUMS AND ON THIS SITE REFERENCING THESE SAME ISSUES. *JS

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THE 2010 AUDI S4 WITH THE DSG S-TRONIC TRANSMISSION BECOMES VERY JERKY, CAUSING IT TO SURGE WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING OR DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. AS A RESULT IT IS HARD TO CONTROL, ESPECIALLY IN TIGHT TRAFFIC, PARKING AREAS, OR AROUND PEDESTRIANS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN IN THIS CONDITION THE SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO FIRST HAPPEN IN SUCH A WAY THE IT GIVE THE FEELING THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN REAR ENDED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON A NORMAL STRETCH OF FLAT HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 65MPH AND THE DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE OUT OF THE BLUE. CAR INDICATED REVERSE GEAR NOT AVAILABLE, TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS, AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM PROBLEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME. CAR WENT IN TO A "LIMP MODE" AND IT ONLY SHIFTED IN EVEN NUMBER GEARS, AND FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS DANGEROUSLY UNSTABLE DUE TO ERRATIC MISSED SHIFTING. THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN IN PRIOR FOR A SERVICE CHECK AND HAD NO CODES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS AT ALL! AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THAT THE MECHATRONICS FAILS ON THIS VEHICLE RATHER OFTEN. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. COST OF REPAIR WAS NEAR 3300$. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 4K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS OCCURRED, AFTER NUMEROUS PERSISTENT EXCHANGES WITH AUDI OF AMERICA THEY FINALLY DECIDED TO COVER THE FAILURE AS I WAS CONSIDERING SEEKING LEGAL ACTION. ( I HAD THE PART IN HAND AND COULD SUBMIT IT TO FAILURE ANALYSIS ENGINEERING FOR CAUSE). ON AN POLL ON A POPULAR AUDI WEBSITE, APPROXIMATELY 15% OF THESE MECHATRONICS HAVE FAILED. THE DESIGN ISSUE IS A CIRCUIT CARD EMBEDDED IN HOT TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT AFFECTS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL OF THE TRANSMISSION. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED IT CAN BE OVER A +10K$ REPAIR. *TR

THERE IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE AUDI 3.OT ENGINE'S PLASTIC THERMOSTAT FAILING! I WAS DRIVING AND THE THERMOSTAT FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TEMP TO SKYROCKET TO "H"! I DROVE HOME BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH WITH THE HEATER ON HIGH. THEY FLATBEDED MY CAR ON 9/29/14 FROM MY DRIVEWAY TO THE AUDI DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A FAILED THERMOSTAT AND REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER "PLASTIC THEMOSTAT." THE SECOND THERMOSTAT FAILED 2 DAYS LATER. I JUST TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUDI DEALERSHIP AGAIN THIS MORNING 10/3/14 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN! THIS PART NEEDS REENGINEERED BECAUSE ITS PLASTIC AND WILL FAIL AT SOME POINT. THANK GOD I WASNT OUT OF STATE WITH MY FAMILY AND IT FAILED BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED! *TR

WITHOUT WARNING MY 2010 AUDI S4 OVER HEATED WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LUCKILY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME BECAUSE I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROAD UNTIL THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN. FROM WHAT I GATHERED ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL HUNDRED AUDI'S HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. ONLY A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) WAS ISSUED. AUDI MAKES THE CUSTOMER PAY THE BILL, EVEN THOUGH THEY REPLACED THE PLASTIC THERMOSTAT WITH AN ALUMINUM ONE AND SOMETIMES THE WATER PUMP. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE IF YOU ASK ME. FIRST AND LAST AUDI I WILL EVER OWN. BAD EXPERIENCE. *TR

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

AUDI CLAIMS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN ON THOSE VEHICLES ARE LIFETIME AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE SERVICE. UNFORTUNATE THE TIMING CHANGE TENSIONERS ARE MADE OF PLASTIC WHICH THE WEAR OUT AT ABOUT 50K MILES, CAUSING A START UP RATTLE AND EVENTUALLY ENGINE EXPLOSION FROM THE CHAIN COMING OF THE GUIDES AND DESTROYING THE ENTIRE ENGINE AND CAUSING A MASSIVE ACCIDENT AT HIGH SPEED. HUNDREDS OF PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ONE ARE REPORTED ONLINE FROM THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS. NOT TO MENTION THAT EVERY TIME YOU BRING YOUR VEHICLE AND COMPLAINT TO AUDI THE CLAIM THAT THE RATTLE IS NORMAL; JUST TO FIND OUT THAT IS THE FIRST CLUE OF FUTURE ENGINE FAILURE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR HAVING A FAULTY MECHATRONICS UNIT. THE MECHATRONICS UNIT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, AND CAUSES JERKING AND INSTABILITY TO THE DSG TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED OTHER VEHICLES AT RED LIGHTS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL JERK FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND LUNGE ME FORWARD TOWARD THE VEHICLE AHEAD. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ISSUE THAT A PRESTIGIOUS NAME LIKE AUDI SHOULD NOT HAVE, BUT IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AUDI OF AMERICA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT CHOOSES TO IGNORE IT FOR THE SAKE OF NOT HAVING TO COVER REPAIRS FOR ALL THE VEHICLES REPORTING THIS ISSUE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL YIELD RESULTS OF JUST HOW COMMON AND WIDESPREAD THIS ISSUE IS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO NEW YORK CITY FROM NORTH CAROLINA ON INTERSTATE 95, I ENCOUNTERED HEAVY TRAFFIC AROUND SILVER SPRING, MD. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING IN SLOW-MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CLUTCH PEDAL FAILED TO RETURN FROM ITS ENGAGED POSITION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, I MANUALLY PULLED AND RETURNED THE CLUTCH PEDAL BACK TO ITS RELEASED POSITION. I THEN PROCEEDED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND PRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL. AGAIN, THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED STUCK IN THE ENGAGED POSITION. MOMENTS LATER SMOKE BECAME TO APPEAR FROM UNDER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOOD. A POLICE OFFICER WHO HAPPENED TO BE NEARBY HELPED PUSH THE CAR TO THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE AND LEFT, WHILE SMOKE KEPT ESCAPING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED BY THE POLICE OFFICER. SHORTLY AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF THE POLICE OFFICER, FLAMES APPEARED ALONGSIDE THE SMOKE FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOOD AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FILL UP WITH DENSE SMOKE. WHILE FRANTICALLY REMOVING MY DOG, SUITCASES AND OTHER PERSONAL BELONGINGS FROM THE VEHICLE, A MOTORIST STOPPED TO ASSIST ME AND WITH THE USE OF HIS OWN FIRE EXTINGUISHER PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE DAMAGED VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY AUDI DEALERSHIP AND SUBSEQUENTLY TAKEN TO ANOTHER LOCATION TO BE EVALUATED BY AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER AND BY AUDI OF AMERICA. A RENTAL CAR HAD TO BE USED TO COMPLETE THE TRAVEL. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER HAS SINCE DECLARED THE DAMAGED VEHICLE A "TOTAL LOSS". THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAD NOT MISSED ANY MANUFACTURE-RECOMMENDED SERVICE AT AUTHORIZED AUDI DEALERSHIPS. THE LAST SUCH SERVICE WAS CONDUCTED THE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 2013 AUDI S4 WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ITS FIRST FREE OIL CHANGE. WITHOUT MY PERMISSION THEY INSTALLED AN UPDATE ON MY POWER STEERING(48K8) AND NOW MY CAR VEERS FROM ONE LANE TO ANOTHER. MY STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT MOVE YET MY CAR GOES FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE OTHER. THE DEALERS "ACT" LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, YET IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. AUDI COMMONWEALTH AND AUDI NEWPORT REFUSE TO HELP OR SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. AUDI USA, LIKE THE DEALERSHIPS, CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SINCE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK THREE TIMES AND NOTHING CHANGED EACH TIME. THEY GAVE MY CAR AN ALIGNMENT AND CHAMBER CHECK AND STILL NOTHING CHANGED. THEY ALSO LOOSED, BOUNCED AND RESET FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS, ROAD TESTED, AND STILL WONDERED. THEY PERFORMED A FEW OTHER RANDOM THINGS, INSPECT I SHAFT U JOINTS(WHICH WERE FINE), G85 STEERING ANGLE SENSOR BASIC SETTINGS PERFORMED(DIDN'T HELP), POWER STEERING END LOCK ADAPTATION PERFORMED(DIDN'T HELP). SHOP FOREMAN ROAD TESTED AND VERIFIED THE VEHICLE IS NOW OPERATING NORMAL COMPARED TO LIKE VEHICLE, OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM, I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO DRIVE LIKE OTHER CARS, I WANT MY CAR TO DRIVE LIKE IT DID BEFORE COMMONWEALTH AUDI PERFORMED A SERVICE I DID NOT ASK FOR OR OK. I AM THE ONLY PERSON TO EVER DRIVE MY CAR, I KNOW HOW IT DROVE BEFORE AND AFTER THE UPDATE, NOT THE SHOP FOREMAN. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR CARS TO BE WONDERING THE ROAD LIKE THIS. *TR UPDATED 03/11/15. *JB
