Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“2003 Audi a4 Cabriolet steering was extremely noisy from date of purchase on. Gradually got worse. Steering column was replaced by Audi service 3 times to no avail. At one point, a total failure of the power steering caused dangerous driving conditions. Audi mechanics and dealer admitted to faulty power steering in some a4 Cabriolet models but will not officially acknowledge. After almost 4 months I'm still waiting for a replacement car.”
