“2 incidents of total loss of power including steering. Twice in the last year traveling normally at low speed the car ceased to function. Today I was traveling about 25 MPH taking a slight right hand curve when the car died. I was almost rear ended. Power was lost and I had great difficulty pulling it off the road. It would barely coast. I restarted the car and it was fine. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke but now it has happened twice.”

NHTSA complaint #11207326, filed 2019-05“Hello. This model of Audi a4 2.0t 2011 hase a big problem with oil consumption which I think is a thing that the NHTSA needs to look in to. For example : I drive the car 500 miles and the oil light comes up and is asking for 1qt of oil which I think is absolutely not normal . Ive change the oil in october and in 2 months december I use 5qt of oil to refill or to add on because the oil light was turning on . Ive took the car to Audi and did a full inspection to see if I'm losing any oil anywhere and the result was negative. …”
