Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Turbo failure - car stalled while slowing on a major interstate, causing multiple near-collisions. Audi is aware of the issue and the dangers of the failure, but has not issued a recall, even though they have issued multiple technical service bulletins regarding the issue and admitting to faulty parts causing the failure. It is only a matter of time before someone is injured or worse due to losing control of the vehicles acceleration and use of engine.”
