“On July 17,2026 my vehicle suddenly overheated. All warning lights came on and I stopped immediately. The car had to be towed to North Atlanta Audi for inspection and repair. I was told the waterpump had failed and corrupted the vacuum lines. There was no symptoms or previous warnings at any time. The repair bill was going to be outrageous. The service department person contacted Audi and they agreed to furnish new parts but I would have to pay all labor cost. I had no choice but to agree. During the repair the turbo charger was damaged when being removed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11755015, filed 2026-08“The car was at the dealership for a second time due to an emissions issue. While there the coolant light came on.

Audi had a settlement for this exact issue on prior generations up to 2021. …”
