Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Gentlemen, purchase a new 2004 Audi a4, drove off the lot and traveled approximately 3 blocks before the right rear tire blew out! Turns out a flat 3 piece of metal completely pierced through the tire and wheel! This car was ordered with a 18 wheel and tire package called the ultra sport package. Audi customer service was not interested in looking into this unusual occurrence beyond talking to the dealers service manager. I explained to them that I have been in the auto business for many years and have never seen such unusual wheel damage. …”
