Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Purchased an Audi a 6 2007 4 years ago. It turned itself off in drive mode 2 months after purchase. This has continued sporadically. It happens after driving the car for some time and then coming to a stop. I press on the accelerator to proceed and the car moves forward. By then, I am out in the intersection or in a lane with oncoming traffic. The mil light goes on, indicating the engine is turned off. There is no power steering and no way to move forward. The car's gear selector is still in drive mode. This is very dangerous. …”
NHTSA complaint #10426775, filed 2011-09, 820 miles“2007 Audi A6 quattro, 13085 miles. Check engine light comes on. Car runs in limp mode. Camshaft control valve failed. P/n 06e-109-257-j replaced. Car runs normally.”
NHTSA complaint #10280592, filed 2009-08, 18,035 miles“Audi 3.2 engine on a 2007 Audi A6 (and same engine on a4 and other models) hesitates during acceleration, especially from a stand-still, such as a stop sign. Dealer states that the powertrain is designed this way, and that it is either the fsi engine which has a carbon buildup, or the CVT transmission. Either way, the hesitation and 2-3 second delay is problematic when at 4-way stops, or when making a left turn in front of oncoming traffic. The delay can lead to accidents. Also, there is a lot of info web about the fsi engines stalling from this issue (ie carbon buildup).”
