2011 Audi A6 seems to be overlooked compared to the rest of the Audi's yet the Audi has so many different issues such as timing chain such as water pump, such as brake issues, such as rack pinion yet there hasn't been anyone investigating this in particular make a model it needs to be done for safety reasons. Additionally, I was never contacted for the airbags cars registered DMV and nobody has bothered to inform me of the New airbag issues. What other issues are there brought to one's attention?

Purchased an audi a 6 2007 4 years ago. It turned itself off in drive mode 2 months after purchase. This has continued sporadically. It happens after driving the car for some time and then coming to a stop. I press on the accelerator to proceed and the car moves forward. By then, I am out in the intersection or in a lane with oncoming traffic. The mil light goes on, indicating the engine is turned off. There is no power steering and no way to move forward. The car's gear selector is still in drive mode. This is...

2009 Audi a6 3.0T waterpump failed...Twice. Once at 8000 miles and again at 19,000 miles. *Tr

2010 Audi a6 experienced massive sudden loss of engine coolant. Result was need to immediately stop car and shut down engine. Loss of coolant resulted in hot liquid spraying out of engine and reducing visibility. Required tow truck to get car to dealer for replacement of defective water pump. According to service manager who directed repairs, the original water pump had a plastic housing and these housings have been failing on many 2009-2010 audi cars. New water pump part has been changed to metal pump housing (reportedly). *Tr

I am writing about my 2004 a6 avant, which has 78,000 miles. At a recent oil service at an independent garage, it was suggested that there was a problem with the catalytic converters. Exhaust was leaking from both sides, I was told. I took the car to my audi dealer, where they checked the exhaust system. The mechanic who examined the car concurred that the catalytic converters needed to be replaced. Under a federally mandated warranty, the catalytic converters are covered for eight years or 80,000 miles. Yet the dealer has declined to cover replacement because the "check engine" light was not on. I was given a repair estimate of $2,400. *Tr

Audi 3.2 Engine on a 2007 audi a6 (and same engine on a4 and other models) hesitates during acceleration, especially from a stand-still, such as a stop sign. Dealer states that the powertrain is designed this way, and that it is either the fsi engine which has a carbon buildup, or the cvt transmission. Either way, the hesitation and 2-3 second delay is problematic when at 4-way stops, or when making a left turn in front of oncoming traffic. The delay can lead to accidents. Also, there is a lot of info web about the fsi engines stalling from this issue (ie carbon buildup). *Tr
