“The oil light continues to come on. I've had it changed two weeks ago and today it appeared again. It was totally empty and once I filled it up the light went out. The car was jumping and making a hhumm like noise. I was told that the turbo part of the engine needs to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10566927, filed 2014-03, 111,102 miles“I have had to replace many coilpacks and diverter valves over the past two years. Several were covered under warranty, but as soon as I was out of warranty I had to start paying for them. They break far too often and are far too expensive to not be covered by Audi.”
NHTSA complaint #10255361, filed 2009-01, 14,000 miles“Since I bought my Audi, I have had to put oil in it many times, and have been told this is normal for a turbo. I think that is crazy, and even an Audi service man told me not all of the turbos do that. I have also had an issue with the car seeming to lose power and jerk about twice a month when I am usually around 70 MPH. It's almost as if the ignition is turned off for 1 second, then it acts fine. This is very startling when it happens.”
NHTSA complaint #10261363, filed 2009-03, 35,000 miles“After leasing the car 2 months later I had to add oil to it. The engine burns oil like crazy. 1 quart of oil per month to month and a half. The engine oil warning light has come several times causing me to pull off the road into the closest gas station to buy some oil. Depending of when it happens, this has been somewhat stressful. I have been told this is normal. I do not think so. If they had told me this, I would not have leased this car!”
NHTSA complaint #10245820, filed 2008-10, 2,500 miles“I was driving on the highway and felt an extremely hot drop fall on top of my foot while wearing sandals. The pain was so bad I had to stop on the emergency lane to see what it was. There was a brown oily substance leaking from where the gas pedal is right on my foot. I had a pink mark after I cleaned off and kept driving. Got home about 15 minutes later and never felt it again. 2 days later the same thing happened again, also driving on the highway and this time I almost crashed because of the burning sensation on my foot. Once again it was the same oily substance. …”
