Audi S4 Steering problems by year

I was on my way to substitute teach at an elementary school in santa cruz, ca and so was in the middle of a lot of early traffic at a left turn signal when I heard a very strange rumble. I thought it was another car as my car had just been in for a 95,000 mile service a few weeks earlier. However, part way through the turn I was almost unable to steer the car. I had to fight the car to keep it from hitting a bicyclist and to get it off to the side of the road where it then stopped steering and died. At that point...

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 audi s4. The contact was driving 25 mph when the steering wheel failed and became stiff and hard to turn. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing who confirmed there was a punctured hose causing the steering to fail. The contact also mentioned on a separate occasion that he heard a squealing noise after the brakes were depressed. The failure caused the brakes to malfunction when they were applied. The dealer stated the brakes needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 112,000 and the current mileage was 114,000.

I leased on brand new 2006 audi s4 on july 29,2006. In december 14,2006 this car developed a problem with the power steering of car. The car was taken to the dealership for repairs.

On march 24,2007 the car was once again towed to dealership and I was told the clutch of vehicle was no good. On april 3, 2007 I called the...

Power coupling on power steering motor failed resulting in loss of steering as I was driving....Dealer later informed me that this was a defect that had been corrected but I did not see a recall posted. *Nm

Like many other people who own an audi s4 with 50,000 miles, I am having brake light issues. Only mine are much more severe that what I have read thus far. I took my car in for it's 60000, and had the mechanic check the brake light. Leading up to the repair, I had been *losing brake fluid* almost monthly. This should never happen, for any reason. But, my mechanic took three hours and discovered that the battery was leaking sulfuric acid onto my brake line, my power steering line, and my clutch line. He stated,...

A frontal collision with another vehicle at 50 mph. Upon impact, driver's air bag did not deploy, and the steering wheel came off the steering column. Neither the driver nor the one passenger was injured. Both parties were wearing seat belts.*Ak *ak

My 2003 audi all road has a continual pull to the right. It will not drive straight for more than 5-8 seconds at a time, on most road surfaces. I have taken the car in for repairs four times in 3400 miles. Each time the car was out of alignment and had to be adjusted. The service manager suggests that the car is performing to factory specifications, but it still has a pull to the right. *La

The door locks and alarm system failed when my car was stolen from the ikea parking lot in elizabeth, new jersey. Thieves punched or drilled a hole in the driver door between the door handle and door lock and were able to open the door and disable the alarm system at the same time. After breaking the steering column, starting the car, and outrunning police, the car was recovered via lojack with all my personal belongings gone. Audi should adress this issue by making new cars with an improved security system and by doing something for existing owners to fix this costly and dangerous problem. Other audi owners need to be made aware of this problem.*Ak

Audi usa has engineering control and were contacted and present during repair. Under very icy conditions on straight road, during acceleration from very slow speed, vehicle pitched into oversteer condition. Not entirely unexpected, but after a difficult recovery, when all seemed ok, it oversteered again quite violently. This was again recovered, but it appeared that there was an abs brake input , certainly not of my doing. The third cycle was more severe, and I left the road. Neither the brake nor throttle were...
