Audi A5 Cabriolet Engine problems by year

Car began bucking at low speeds. I parked car and when I turned on ignition next day, dashboard warning indicated "Transmission malfunction" and warned me not to drive car. I had it towed to dealer. Diagnosis was that it was a gearbox malfunction that according to dealer was occurring more and more frequently, so much so that Audi had issued a "Technical Service Bulletin." My car which is less than 5 years old and has 65,000 miles required $3,600 worth of repairs for this issue. If this is major engine problem occurring with increasing frequency, why is this not a recall?

The contact owns a 2010 Audi A5. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the failure could be related to the catalytic converter, but a diagnostic test was not performed. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced, but the vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that her son inspected the vehicle and discovered that all the fluids were...

I bought the car used and within the first month of purchase and to start putting an additional 1qt of oil on every 1000 miles...Now few mints later I have to do that more often on every 500miles... And recently I had to add cooling and now this has been an new issue... My mechanic told me this is a common issue for my car and he is surprised audi hasn't done a recall on it. My car is under 90k and may require an engine change for over $3-4k. That's not right!

Car runs out of engine oil within 2 to 3 weeks of oil change, I have changed the oil three times over the course of 2.5 Months.

In the beginning of the week I noticed some unusual behavior with my car, whenever I slowed down to make a turn or to pull up in a garage I felt the car loosing power as if it was about to go off, I will then have to press on the accelerator to give it power and keep it going which was not the safest, knowing that I should be decelerating in such instances. I didn't think much of it, and then 3 days later after parking in a school parking lot for about 12 minutes, I returned to my car to find it not starting up. It...

My 2011 audi a5 2.0T has experienced low compression on piston number 1 which is a sign of engine failure and requires the engine to be redone. Since then I have checked with audi mechanics and online reviews and it seems like my model of audi has a common problem with the engine. The fact that many a5's have experienced engine failures begs the question of why audi has not recalled this vehicle and why the engines were allowed to be released that are obviously sub optimal and weak!

My car has had the add oil light on many times to which I have taken it to the dealer. First time they told me it was a water pump failure. I replaced and paid for the water pump. Second time a year later I returned to hear that the water pump failed again only this time it was the cam bearing ladder that failed which in turn caused the water pump to fail. Both times I asked if the water pump is replaced should I replace the timing belt, I am told it is a timing chain and does not need to be replaced. Then the...

I have been informed by my garage that the timing chain tensioner is faulty and needs to be replaced. They say it is a "known issue" and I am wondering why this has not been made a recall. It is $2,000 and there are no warning signs; it could happen at any time. I don't want to be writing in after a catastrophe so I am writing preemptively: please make this a recall!!!

While driving my car (2010 audi a5), the vehicle began to sputter and was not able to drive the vehicle on a state highway. The vehicle would not accelerate and had to pull to the shoulder. It was later towed to audi of new orleans where I later found out that my car needed a new turbo, timing chain, and timing chain tensioner at a cost just over $4300. After doing research I learned that this is very common with the type of engine that I have. It seems that it occurs in the 2.0T audi/vw around approximately 80k...

Was leaving house, car started shaking violently so I drove back home, engine light turned on. Have been waiting long before this happened to hear back from audi about oil consumption warranty recall, car was under 80k mi at the time I made report, had already paid for the required tests they needed, took them 4 months to finally get back to me. Received special case since it was a pre owned vehicle & could not provide them with the service maintenance records since I had just purchased vehicle, not the dealership nor audi have been helpful with obtaining that information. Now they are saying they are not willing to fix it or buy back.

Audi of america acknowledged on 2015 that 126,000 vehicles present excessive oil consumption. My vehicle was taken to audi of san juan, puerto rico on may 16, 2017 where various repairs were performed. Dealer indicated that oil service needed to be done prior to start oil consumption test phase 1(pcv valve) which I authorized. After this, low oil light turned on within less than 900 miles. On june 5th, 2017 the vehicle was taken back to the dealer to perform phase 2 of the oil consumption test. Dealer documented...

Engine light came on when starting car, had some difficulty accelerating. Car taken to dealer within 24 hours. Dealer diagnosed timing chains, head, tensioners and turbo needed to be replaced. Car has approximately 83000 miles and has been serviced at conshohocken audi since purchase from prestige lexus (with 7000 miles). Audi has "offered" an 75% discount on parts because I "have been a good customer" (except the turbo which they say is not a fault of the engine defect). I am responsible for 25% of parts, all...

The timing chain tensionor failed with no warning causing catastrophic engine failure. Audivw is aware of the issue and refuse to issue a recall on the part they have redesigned more than 4 times. Repair cost is $10-12,000 when it fails. Replacing the defective part would cost $700.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 audi a5. While driving 50 mph, the check engine, epc, and engine oil warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred twice.
