Fear of unsafe vehicle operation due to the Structural integrity being severely compromised rendering the vehicle unsafe to operate. The rusted subframe as been confirmed by an Audi dealer and an independent service center. The vehicle has been inspected by the Audi dealer and the independent service center.

Rear Suspension cross- member. Extensive corrosion hidden behind stone guard trapping dirt and moisture. I would not have known the rust was there if the stone guard had not come apart from the cross member I cannot trust the safety of this vehicle until it is repaired Audi requires a dealer inspection at the cost of the consumer. Audi Suspension cross member components are the same for many models. The Allroad should be included in the class action lawsuit.

Car has 69,700 miles. All Audi suggested maintenance has been done. Synthetic oil changed every 5,000 miles (more frequently than Audi 10,000 mile recommendation). At 60,000 mile oil change, engine used 1 qt of oil. At 65,000 miles engine used 2 qts oil. At 69,500 mile oil change engine used 3.5 qts of oil. Audi is not sure this is excessive oil use. Must perform oil consumption test at our expense. Really?!?! Audi solution is for us to pay $8,500 for new pistons and rings. From what I see online, this is a common problem, a manufacturer defect that Audi is unwilling to stand behind. Please share my complaint with Audi USA. Registered a complaint with them also.

We live in Montana where it gets very cold on a regular basis while driving our Audi the steering wheel ceased to function and would not allow us to control the vehicle this occurred three times. A warning on the dash came up that said steering malfunction stopped vehicle but it was very scary and intimidating to know that your steering wheel could quit at any time we got stranded and took it to a dealer and they said that the steering rack computer had failed and could not get the part for at least a month since...

Ok before my previous incident it must've been 2 weeks ago that my car just sped up and broke on it's on on a 65 mile road it's to the point that I'm very hesitant to drive the car but it's my only means of commute it's just a total safety problem and I don't feel safe one bit

The car is completely not safe it seems to have a mind of its own and that's saying that I've maintained everything up to par and it's still a safety hazard

Brucken motors, I purchased an Audi a4 that was advertised on your Facebook as safe, reliable, and dependent. I came to you with a down payment in hand, stating that I needed a car that drove without issues. I can afford minor repairs, but I wanted something with a clean HISTORY and service RECORD. Zachary Laney, the salesman, claimed that there was nothing wrong with this car. I asked about the headlight and was told, "Oh no, it's just a bulb! I will buy it so you can replace it." Asked about any issues and was...

According to TSB 401548, car dealership/manufacture will not provide extended warranty to repair premature wheel bearing due to vehicle VIN not in their system as an affected vehicle. The 2016 A4 has premature wheel bearing as described in the TSB 401548. Covered vehicles are 2016 Audi A4. Faulty wheel bearing may result in loss of control of vehicle and will not pass Pennsylvania State Inspection. This is a safety defect and a wheel bearing should not fail with only 63,000 miles on the vehicle. Please assist. Thank you.

Rubber boot around the electronic steering rack wore out after only 30k miles. This has caused no warning lights, and very dangerous behaviour from the steering mechanisms. To include the steering wheel locking up mid turn, and the steering wheel "stuttering" due to the electronic motor failing.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 audi a4. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when he detected a burning odor. The dashboard gauges and epc warning lights illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to a gas station to refuel then back to his commercial property when he noticed there was fire coming from underneath the hood. The contact exited the vehicle and the fire went out on it's own. No police report was filed. The contact notified his insurance company and was informed that his vin was included in nhtsa...

Gear shifter pin broke vin # doesn't match my name nor dmv

Only 500 miles following an audi oil change, the oil sensor light went off notifying us to add one quart of oil. We added one quart of oil and continued driving and then the light went off again. We called audi service and they told us to follow the instructions and add another quart of oil. We did and repeated one more time after another hour (75 miles). After filling the third time and driving, white smoke started billowing from the vehicle and we had the car towed to the audi dealership 233 miles from where...

Water pump failure - leaking after 47,000 miles. Coolant level down to minimum level in engine

Initially my fuel pump began leaking fuel. Two weeks after replacement, the new audi factory fuel pump began leaking again and had to be replaced. After the fuel pump was replaced the second time, a large amount of fuel began leaking around the fuel injectors. This was an extreme safety hazard because of the large amount of fuel leaking and falling onto the alternator and other parts.

FUEL PUMP BEGAN LEAKING AT 55,000 MILE MARK

When stepping on the gas on my audi it takes a while to go it feels like it has no power it also has been shaking really bad especially when going up hill. It has a noise coming from the engine that sounds like when your riding a bike all these problems are while it's in motion in both city streets and highways. The faster I go in the vehicle the more it shakes and the more I hear the noise as well. There is no light indicating that my car has a problem but there definitely is something wrong with my audi and I don't know what?

Safety recall 19n4 this recall states that the car can go on fire but they aren't replacing the part till november or december. They suggest parking outside and away from property which isn't an option for me. I suppose to wait 6 month when the car can go on fire? At present I live in a building and park in a garage with many other vehicles - street parking is difficult and audi will not repair the vehicle sooner or end my lease. *Js

The electrical power steering became defective while driving down the road at 75 mph. The steering wheel locked up and pulled to the right, nearly causing a high speed collision with a semi. The error message "steering is defective, do not drive vehicle" displayed and has not gone away.

Takata recall still no remedy available for vehicle

When attempting to accelerate to enter traffic from a complete stop, & inputting a significant trottle demand, usually engine does not accelerate for several seconds (sometimes it accelerates normally. This is not turbo lag). After nearly causing an accident a couple of times, I cannot rely on required acceleration, and consider this condition very dangerous, and am reluctant to drive the car. It is 8 months old and has amassed less than 5000 miles. This has happened many times, regardless of the car being in normal or sport modes, the last being 11.22.16
