Audi Allroad Steering problems by year

Especially in cold weather, steering intermittently developed resistance at center point while in motion - from 30 mph on up. Steering would not stay pointed straight ahead, would kick off to one side or another. Problem would go away if car was turned off and on, only to reoccur. Problem was diagnosed as internal steering rack fault causing steering shaft to heat up and bind. Solution was to remove and replace entire rack assembly and steering knuckle.

Upon returning to the car after a rest stop, a red steering wheel symbol appeared in the dashboard along with "do not drive". It got towed to a dealer who reported engine code dtc b2000. Car was 1 month our of warranty. Repair was >$3000 replacing the steering gear and power steering module. This could have been quite bad had it failed while the car was in motion. The car only has about 34,000 miles. This is a serious and in my view potentially dangerous issue. Not to mention expensive.

Variable resistance to turning steering wheel when both stationary and in motionl increasing in severity over time consistent with the issue experienced by many other drivers of 2013 and 2013 audis.

I noticed the steering started getting hard to turn. I took to audi dealer they said it was fine. I said not I know my car. On the highway 2 weeks later entering a curve at high mph the car wouldn't turn. I tapped brakes several times and finally with 2 hands I could turn around curve. Very scary and barely made turn. I proceeded to home but at a turn I started the turn and the steering again stiffened so hard it sent me towards the crosswalk and luckily the brakes stopped me inches from hitting a boy on his bike....

Steering shaft is faulty. When driving this car, especially at high speeds, the steering is extremely unpredictable. At lower speeds, the steering is notchy, you can't seem to find "center" and constantly have to adjust the steering wheel to remain straight on the road. This happens while moving, on city streets and highways.

Steering not fluid, begin turn, fall is ine, then resistance, , then easier again, then more resistance. Notchy almost like the steering is refusing to turn. Steering response/feel is confusingly erratic to the point of being unsettling. Problem diagnosed by dealer as not unusual, rusting u joint,. Replaced intermediate, steering shaft. At cost of over $600. 33,000 Miles on car. With all scheduled maintenance done by dealer. Car never in accident and no body rust. Excellent condition otherwise.

Steering in my 2013 audi allroad is inconsistant, notchy, feels as if it won't react to input. A bit scarey when in a curve. Will feel correct, then all of a sudden becomes almost impossible to turn the wheel.

2013 Audi a4 allroad with 70k miles - the steering wheel has become incredibly 'notchy' and offers very inconsistent feedback while driving. The best way to describe the feeling is that the experience leaves me feeling as though the steering wheel is disconnected from the front wheels for certain intervals of time before re-engaging. This is a highly dangerous issue which causes the car to drift in the lane, with constant driver input required to maintain a reasonably straight trajectory. This is a known audi issue for the 2013 model years with electric steering, yet no recalls have been performed. This is dangerous.

Intermediate steering shaft failure. Loss of steering control without warning. Tight/notchy steering.

Steering is locking up/becomes hard to turn while driving. This almost cause me to crash as I could not turn easily in an intersection. I recently had the car serviced (in the last month) regarding a heater recall. About 3 weeks later this problem started to occur out of the blue. No warning lights have come on.

The complete electro-mechanical steering system was defective and had to be replaced. I had complained to the dealer a number of times and had left the car with the dealer a number of times. They kept giving it back to me, telling me there was nothing wrong, that they couldn't replicate the problem. When I told them that there where numerous reports concerning this problem on the internet and on the audi forums they told me that there were a thousand cures for the common cold on the internet. When they spoke with...

I was driving in light rain and saw a small puddle of water ahead so I slowed down and went through it at 10mph, all of the sudden my steering wheel locks up and is stuck going right, grinding noise came from the front drivers wheel. I somehow managed to get the vehical to a fire station and park it there after 30m and only going 20ft then all of a sudden while I'm pressing the gas peddle the horrible grinding noise comes back and the car goes no where in drive or reverse.

Around 3,000 miles I noticed a change in the character of the steering. At times the steering at highway speed would feel very light (almost like extra boost or assistance) and at other times the steering would be very firm, almost to the point of not moving / tracking naturally while driving. If turned, the wheel would stay in that position. Shortly thereafter the sensation of a "detent" at the center position of steering become progressively more noticeable, ultimately to the point that it would take...

The steering will not allow the driver the ability to drive straight. It pulls from side to side when trying to drive straight. It feels like there is a magnet on both sides of center pulling you one way or the other. It seems to be temperature related. Once the car gets warm, or the temperature outside gets warmer, the problem is not as pronounced. Audi says there is nothing they can do. This is a concern when driving when it is cold and icy out. Pulling side to side seems like a safety concern. Appears to be widespread across models that use this new electronic steering mechanism. *Tr

While driving the vehicle will shut down, and the steering will lock up. This happened four times.*Ak
