Example complaints

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

“2014 Audi S4 has dangerous steering behavior. The steering slips at the center position, will not go straight on the highway, and requires constant steering input. This is further exacerbated by a constant notchy feeling at any speed between the 10 and 2 oclock position. It is particularly bad in long sweeping turns where you can distinctly feel a notch. When in one of these turns you will have constant linear steering followed by a notch that when surpassed results in a large steering input which is unexpected and destabilizing to the vehicle if at high speeds. …”
