Example complaints

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

“I am presently leasing the Audi A4 1.8t. The car has died on three occassions and Audi tells me that this was due to the coil spring problems they have been having. On the first two occassions there was no warning indicator or check engine light. They seem to indicate that there is some sort of warning before this problems happens, but in my case there was not. The first two times this happened to me the car just died while driving at highway speeds and would not restart. There was absolutely no warning or light to tell me something was wrong with my car. …”
