Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving in town the car abruptly stopped running, steering and brakes failed. Caused by both turbochargers going out at the same time. 36,000 miles a few months out of warranty. Apparently this is known issue with the Audi's and Audi has not issued a recall or anything according to the Audi dealer. $11,000 repair. Very scary when power lost and remained off.”
