Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is a widely-known issue in 2013+ Audi electromechanical power steering that creates a sensation of a notch at 12:00 on the steering wheel. This notch forces you to manually keep the car in the lane by steering back and forth in the notch . When you turn beyond the notch there is a sticking point. The faster the car is moving, the more pronounced these feelings become. I had hoped that my issue was related to the tires. Unfortunately, waiting to purchase new tires has taken me out of warranty. …”
