Example complaints
Steering: “Steering in my 2013 Audi Allroad is inconsistant, notchy, feels as if it won't react to input. A bit scarey when in a curve. Will feel correct, then all of a sudden becomes almost impossible to turn the wheel.”
NHTSA complaint #11097935, filed 2018-05, 55,000 milesEngine: “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. …”
