“I have an Audi tdi that the diesel emissions recall was completed. I brought to the attention of my service advisor - dealer, that when the outside air temp is warm/hot and the vehicle is warmed up, there appears lag in the acceleration then suddenly there is a quick burst of speed where the vehicle catches up to the foot accelerator position. Lifting the foot off the accelerator aids in slowing down but I am concerned that if another family member gets in the car there might be a different understanding of what the vehicle is doing. …”

“in 2017 Audi repaired a leaky fuel pump in my Q5 due to a recall. My vehicle now has less than 35k miles since that repair and the new-replacement fuel pump flange is failing again. Fuel was coming out and created a significant fire risk to life and property. Audi has refused to deal with the issue and speaking with mechanics at 3 dealerships revealed that the replacement parts are failing at an alarming rate. I would like this looked into.”

“The cooling system failed without warning! As I’m driving on the highway my vehicle began smoking! I smelled a burnt smell! Upon getting off the highway , I noticed my coolant had leaked almost completely out! I check my vehicle every morning before work as I drive through three counties to get to work and my coolant was full as I had just topped it off that morning! Upon inspection it was found from a local mechanic to be the water pump! My truck was fine last month upon getting a n inspection.”

“The car is using/burning excessive oil. I’m adding oil every 300-500 miles. There was an open recall in the past for the exact same consumer problems. I purchased this car used in April of 2022 and it’s been an on going problem since I’ve had it.”

“I do not have any problem with my car. But I have another important thing to remind who is responsible for informing any recalls. My car had few recalls previously and each time I got a notification. But for the latest open recall that my car has, no one informed me. The recalling has began since may 2017 and no one informed this recall for nearly 4 months until I called the dealership 2 weeks ago for scheduling my service date. And the dealership representative told me that imy car has a recall. And this recall is more risky and dangerous and what if something happened. …”
