Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I took my car to the Audi service center and they expressed to me that my engine coolant pump was not working and that it had to be replaced. However, they did not tell me it was apart of a recall. Had I known this, I feel as though I should not have been charged approximately $2,300 to get it fixed when it was recalled from something out of my control.”
NHTSA complaint #11363694, filed 2020-10, 50,000 miles“My car started burning oil much more frequently after it hit 120k miles. The light would come on to add a quart of oil every 1500 miles. The car now has 145k miles on it and the oil light comes on after 500-600 miles, which seems much too frequent. The car is only 6 years old and I would expect it to last another 50k miles but I'm concerned that there's something wrong with the engine that's causing it to burn so much oil so quickly.”
NHTSA complaint #11328678, filed 2020-06, 144,000 miles“Intake valve spring on cylinder 4 ( the only warning I received was the car started to make a rattling noise and the whole car started to shake and the epc light then came on, when it starts it is hesitant to start) I purchased car on 7/24/2020 the first time it broke was on/around 10/27/2020 and the car has now encountered the same issuse on /around 10/28/202, I am unsure if this has been an issue with previous owner, but this should be looked at in a safty due to the whole engine going.”
