I was having an issue with my 2013 Audi A5 starting. A call to roadside assistance was able to jump my battery and the car would start and run. However, the same issue kept happening. The EPC warning light would come on and it took a few weeks to get scheduled with a mechanic. I purchased a mobile jump starter myself because I never knew when the car would or wouldn't start. After taking the car to Audi, they found the "transmission coolant valve failing internally causing coolant to migrate up connector - this...

Couple years ago my engine failed, it was recalled and company refused to pay for it. I payed for it and afterwards my radio modul failed, camera failed, the check engine light is on since I bought the car and recently my car stopped on the highway fast lane without warning. It was no shoulder and I stopped on the highway. I was lucky I didn't get rear ended n killed

I have experienced several failures and 3 recalls with my vehicle since I purchased it brand new. I have paid out thousands of dollars over the years for repairs that I feel were faulty being that I am on the only owner of the vehicle. I have approximately a little under 75k miles on my vehicle although I purchased in 2012 (2013 vehicle) only to take it to dealerships and pay for this and that but most recently my major complaint is my car has stopped on me 4 times and I paid originally for what the dealership...

Water pump leaking

The contact veered to the side of the road and upon checking the coolant reservoir, the contact noticed that the coolant was leaking. The contact added coolant and was able to continue driving. However, the failure reoccurred increasingly. The contact stated that the coolant would leak onto the ground while refilling the...

About 3 weeks ago I noticed the beginning of a steering problem. I first noticed that the wheel seemed to require more than normal force to turn, especially in about the 10 and 2 o'clock position. It would behave pretty normally most of the time, but then, unpredictably, this would happen. Now it seems to be pretty constant. The steering wheel now requires much more force than usual, but only when in certain positions. Otherwise, everything appears normal. A couple of days ago I needed to try an evasive maneuver,...

There's 1000s of complaints online and audi group threads reporting and experiencing power steering loss of power or stiffness while driving, making it very difficult to steer car models include 2013 a4,a5, s5,a6, q5, sq5. Audi knows the problem but have not corrected or recall only the 2018 sq5 no other vehicles with electronic power steering. Dealers even are aware of issue. Audi says it could a steering sensor, but have not offered remedy. This is a safety issue and should be corrected immediately before loss of life due to accident.

Going down hill, accelerating, red light, apply brakes, hard, engine revs up trying to over power brakes, barely stops, but engine keeps on creeping car forward into traffic, move shifter to park and reverse twice, engine slows down but accelerates again when back in drive, light changes, drive away with no problems.

The sunroof exploded. I was driving and heard a loud noise. I look around because it sounded like a tire blowout. I continued to drive, and once I reached my destination, stopped and opened the door to exit the vehicle, I heard a loud pop like a gun shot. Immediately glass flew everywhere. I was located in the parking lot of picadilly restaurant when the explosion occurred.

There is an intermittant fault with the intake manifold change over flap, it's sticking. Replacement would be $1311.56 Before tax. It appears to be working ok now, but it could fail in the near future.

The vehicle suffered complete engine failure at 52,000 miles. On may 05'19 the car was running smoothly at prevailing highway speed when I started to hear the sound of marbles rattling around in the engine compartment. Pulled over, and then the check engine light came on. Towed to audi burlington, and the $159 diagnostic the following morning may 06'19 resulted in a voice mail that said in part "car engine is blown, the cost will be $11,000, please let us know what you'd like to do". They also suggested I...

Loss of power while driving. I was driving and the car lost power and started shuddering, epc warning light came on and it seemed like it might stall. Since I was driving I pushed in the clutch and coasted to a stop. I shut it off and restarted it and it worked normally so I drove home. I drove it the next day and had no problems. On a following day it did the same thing, loss of power, shaking, not working right. Sometimes it seemed just fine other times it had problems. I took it to a shop to have diagnosis...

I just had my fuel door actuator replaced on my 2013 audi a5 with less than 44,500 miles on it in september 2018. I am having a very difficult time understanding why my fuel door actuator needed to be replace with so low mileage. The car has a range of 455 miles after a fill up the part cost $405.85 Including a shipping charge. This means it cost me $4.17 To open and close the lid after a fill up. My argument is that the part was defective and it should be replaced for free. I sent the part back to audi for review....

In sep 2016 my 2013 audi a5 started smoking and overheating while driving on the freeway. I drove my car home and searched for a reputable auto shop in my city that I drove my car to. My vehicle was analyzed and inspected to find out that the coolant/waterpump needed to be replaced, which my car was no longer under warranty. At this moment I just left my car at this auto repair shop as it was my only vehicle and needed repaired asap. Within the last year and very recently their have been many recalls...

Audi safety recall 19n4 continues to not be available. Received first notice for recall in june 2018. States there is a safety issue with after run coolant pump. States that this defect may cause a fire even if car is not turned on and recommends to park the vehicle outside as a precaution. This sounds very dangerous. Today, september 4, 2018, the dealer informed me that the fix for the defect is still not available and there is no date. I am concerned about driving this car and parking it in or near the house.

My a5 coupe was affected recall 17v622. I booked an appointment months ago with silver spring audi. That appointment was cancelled due to the dealership not having the parts to address the recall. I've called multiple times to try to reschedule but the parts remain unavailable. The dealership, today, tried to discourage me from being added to a wait list for the part given that over 100 people were already on the list. (That discouragement made no sense to me. It seems like everyone affected by the recall who uses that dealership should be on the waiting list without even having to call in.)
