Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car keeps throwing drive errors, system malfunctions, and throws no trouble codes? I brought this to the attention of Audi, and got no answer. Can you investigate a hacked tcu/ecu? I don't have the gear. Consumer stated electronic oil sensor might have never worked. Dipstick was low, the only light is drive train malfunction light.”
