“Possible ignition switch issue: I was driving on the highway at around 70 MPH when there was click sound accompanied by loss of power, brakes didn't function properly, steering wheel became increasing hard to maneuver. I was able to bring to a stop by the shoulder. I noticed that the ignition switch had got turned off. I turned the ignition and the car starting working again. Very scary!”
NHTSA complaint #11110916, filed 2018-07, 100,000 miles“This complaint pertains to audis adblue(nox) system. We recieved a fault on a road trip. It stated car would not turn on within 600 miles. It started to count down. After 3 dealership visits they informed me that the first part to replace is a nox sensor to the cost of 1300 dollars. I refused as I didn't have that amount. So now I have a car that cant be driven because it wont turn on and comply with federal emissions. I feel that if there is a part having to do with federal emissions then Audi should have to be forced to replace it like they would a catalytic converter. …”
NHTSA complaint #10731421, filed 2015-07, 68,000 miles“Driving on a country road with no vehicle in front of me - a loud explosion occurred and realized the front panel of the sunroof had exploded. Luckily, the screen was closed at the time and no large glass fragments fell into the occupants of the vehicle - there were five of us at the time. Arrived at a friend’s house to vacuum out the small slivers of glass pieces that fell through the screen. The outside temperature that day was approximately 80°F. The explosion sounded like gunfire and it was very scary. …”
