“I was driving in the city, going at about 45 MPH, then a light came on on my dashboard that said dynamic steering: system fault. You can continue driving . The steering wheel got a little stiff, but the I was able to keep driving. The next day, about half a mile from my house the same light turned red while I was driving at 35 MPH. The steering wheel became really hard to move, almost impossible to turn to either side. Contacted Audi and they said to take the car to the dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #11105267, filed 2018-07, 60,600 miles“My a4 constantly pulls to the right. I have replaced the tires, the rotors and brakes, and had Audi do an alignment. The vehicle still pulls to the right.”
NHTSA complaint #11089087, filed 2018-04, 25,000 miles“I bought a new 2014 Audi a4 and noticed immediately, once I hit freeway speeds, the car would not track straight. Once centered in the lane and releasing the steering wheel the car started to drift either left or right in that than 5 seconds. The direction if the drift seems to be dependent on the direct of the last course correction. If I had to turn left to center the car in the lane then it would wander left when the wheel was released, if the last course correction was right then it would wander right. …”
NHTSA complaint #10543625, filed 2013-09, 15 miles“Audi steering problem at highway speeds the steering becomes stiff when changing lanes and it does not respond to going back to the center of lane right away it gives resistance it wants to keep going on to the last direction the steering was going it has gradually gotten worst even on city streets normal driving I could feel resistance the steering feels stiff and heavy the steering wanders from straight path on highway the steering sometimes goes against direction you want car to go causing a moment of panic god forbid a fatality occurs took it to service Audi driving test we came back…”
NHTSA complaint #11043618, filed 2017-11, 18,000 miles“After picking up my new a4 and reaching highway speed, I noticed the steering was wanting to wander. After getting home I went online and read other owners same complaints on this web page. I drove the car again yesterday and noticed the Audi drive select feature was mainly causing the problem. If I selected the dynamic or sport mode it would started to wander off. In the other two modes it seemed to be pretty normal. This might be ok on the race track where your making turns all the time, but for normal driving it stinks. Audi needs to look into this right away.”
