Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2004: “While driving my engine light came on, and I smelled gas. I brought the car to a shop to have it repaired. There is a gas leak from rollover valve on the gas tank. Was recalled in 2009, repaired by the dealer. I have just bought the car used and found that the same problem is occurring again. With some research I found out that the dealer fixed the problem with epoxy.”
NHTSA complaint #10851719, filed 2016-03, 195,800 miles2013: “A check engine light and DTC light came on the dash while driving, but the car had no symptoms of fault otherwise. During one following day, I was in the garage where the car was parked, was not running and unlocked with keys inside, and smelled an electrical fire. I opened the hood and found a softball sized fire burning from an electrical connector coming from the side of the engine. After putting the fire out, I found a blown 'engine management' fuse which may be originally triggered the dashboard faults. …”
NHTSA complaint #11386436, filed 2021-01, 67,100 miles2002: “I was driving my car and felt my back in pain/burning. The heated seat element had caught the seat back on fire and burned a hole through the seat and burned my skin. Luckily, I was on a city street with a spot able to pull over immediately, turn off the car, and smother the flame with my jacket. I think this is extremely dangerous. Had I been driving and unable to pull over this would have burned me much worse or caused an accident. I am even more concerned because when I reported it to Audi all they had to say was it's out of warranty and ask me to pay $190 to diagnose it. …”
