“This is the 4th time I will have to replace my gas pump and /or my 3rd engine in my 2014 Audi a4. My epc light turns on then my car violently shakes and then it cuts off. This has happened while crossing an intersection, driving in the gas station parking lot, at a parking lot after leaving a friends home and at my home. I have reported this to Audi USA, las vegas Audi and the finance company. Today it happened 1 year and 1 day after it happened last. I parked at the store ran in and came out turned on the car and the epc light came on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11255768, filed 2019-09, 84,241 miles“I originally took in my vehicle to the town Audi dealership at 43,995 miles on november 28th, 2017 complaining of CVT hesitation and delaying before engaging between gear shifts but occurring more on inclines and downslopes. They claimed they could not replicate the issue and that what I was experiencing might have been the delay the transmission that is also turbocharged, makes normally. Unconvinced and still experiencing the same symptoms and jerking now at low rpms, and growling metal noise accelerating on incline, I took it in again at 46,053 miles on february 5th, 2018. …”
NHTSA complaint #11153401, filed 2018-11, 43,995 miles“My 2024 a4's 8 speed automatic will not always shift into 8th gear. I've went 18 miles before it finally shifted into high gear. I was even going down a long hill at 60 MPH and it would not shift into high gear. This seems to happen more when the transmission is cold. You can see what gear its in by shifting the gear lever over into manual mode. I also noticed it will shift into high gear faster if you let up on the gas pedal after you reach 50 or more MPH. My car has the drive select option ( comfort, auto, and dynamic modes) it doesn't matter which mode its in, I still have the problem. …”
