Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving on the highway during a road trip from florida to wisconsin, our engine stalled while coming to a stop. We managed to get it to an Audi dealer and it was determined both turbochargers were broken. Both shafts had snapped and the car was un-drivable leaving us stranded in georgia. This is a design issue for the 4.0t engines and vw/Audi has refused to implement a fix beside the oil screen band-aid. The oil screen, since it is not serviceable, will slowly accumulate debris and restrict oil flow to the turbos and cause them to be starved of oil. …”

Unable to then start car and move it - needed to be pushed to one side to await the tow truck. There were no symptoms or warnings or cel prior to the failure. Others have reported same failure at higher speeds or even on highways. This failure mode is dangerous and could result in loss of vehicle control.
