2011 Audi A4 Avant

FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT 10852082. ONCE AGAIN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING, THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF MULTIPLE LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THE DEFECT WAS NOT IDENTIFIED BY THE DEALER. THIS TIME, AS I BROUGHT THE CAR IN RIGHT AWAY, THE COMPUTER DETECTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO FAULTY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUITS. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND HOPEFULLY MY CAR WILL NOW BE FINE. SO HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS. IS THIS REALLY WHAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CEASE FUNCTIONING THREE TIMES? IF SO, HOW MANY OF THESE FAULTY CPS SENSORS ARE OUT THERE? IT IS JUST A FLUKE OR DO THEY WEAR OUT OR IS IT A BAD BATCH? SHOULD THERE BE A SENSOR THAT WILL STOP ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING? THIS LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO FORT LAUDERDALE AIRPORT WHERE ABOUT 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC COMES AROUND A CURVE AND DECELERATES FROM 55MPH TO 25 AS CARS APPROACH THE TERMINALS AND PARKING. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 GOING DOWN TO 15 BUT PEOPLE ARE MOVING PRETTY FAST. I WRESTLED THE CAR OVER AS OTHER CARS WERE STRUGGLING TO AVOID ME. ONCE I HAD THE CAR STOPPED, I REMOVED THE ELECTRONIC KEY, REINSERTED AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP FINE.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON, HAS HAPPENED (AT LEAST 6 TIMES) AT SPEEDS OF 5MPH TO 65MPH (MOST RECENT INSTANCE, ON MAY 31, 2016). VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. RANDOM EVENT. CAR WILL RESTART AND RUN FINE FOR DAYS TO MONTHS. FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BUT NOT THE PROBLEM. DEALER UNABLE TO DX DUE TO INTERMITTENT NATURE.

IGNITION COILS WENT OUT. CAR STOPPED ON BUSY STREET BUT WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SIDE STREET. COME TO FIND OUT AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR THE COILS WERE RECALLED.. SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT AUDI AND THEY VERIFIED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE COILS. NO ONE NOTIFIED ME INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP GURLEY LEEP AND HE DID NOT NOTIFY ME AND I HAD TO COME OUT OF $1,000 TO HAVE THAT PROCESS FIXED THEN I HAD TO TURN AROUND LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGAIN AND SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING AGAIN I HAD TO COME OUT OF ANOTHER $1,000 THIS IS B******* SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN SO TO AUDI AND TO GURLEY LEEP SCREW YOU THAT WAS $2,000 I CAME OUT OF. NO HELP FROM AUDI NOR DEALERSHIP WHAT SO EVER.. AND I DO BELIEVE I STILL HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE AUDI REPRESENTATIVE THAT VERIFY THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION COILS.... NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS APRIL OF 2015.

2 INCIDENTS OF TOTAL LOSS OF POWER INCLUDING STEERING. TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR TRAVELING NORMALLY AT LOW SPEED THE CAR CEASED TO FUNCTION. TODAY I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH TAKING A SLIGHT RIGHT HAND CURVE WHEN THE CAR DIED. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. POWER WAS LOST AND I HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY PULLING IT OFF THE ROAD. IT WOULD BARELY COAST. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE BUT NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND STARTED SHAKING ONLY TO FIND OUT INJECTORS WENT OUT AND OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. AUDI USA IS PROLONGING AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE REGARDING OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE COMPLETED PHASE I OF THE TEST AND TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE PHASE II COMPLETED HOWEVER WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE AUDI HAS THE DEALERSHIP PERFORM PHASE I OVER AGAIN. CAR IS EATING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BUT YET AUDI USA IS PROLONGING THE SITUATION WITH NO RESOLUTION. PURCHASED THE CAR 08/24/2015 HAD TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE DONE TWO WEEKS LATER BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER BY OCTOBER 15TH I HAD TO ADD MORE OIL AS THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CONSUMING OIL. I HAVE PHASE I COMPLETED HOWEVER I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE PHASE II DONE ON IT ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAD TO DO PHASE I OVER WHICH ISN'T FAIR THE VEHICLE STILL EATS OIL AND VALUE IS DEPRECIATING DRASTICALLY BECAUSE OF AUDI AND VOLKSWAGEN EPA VIOLATIONS.

HI, I HAVE A AUDI A4 2011. I AM A TRAVELING MAN THAT ONLY USES THE CAR ON THE WEEKENDS. ONE DAY WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING I HEARD A RATTLE NOISE, TURNED OUT TO BE I HAD NO A/C SO THE IT WAS CLEAR MY A/C COMPRESSOR DIED. I WENT TO THE AUDI SINCE THEY KNOW THEY MADE BAD A/C COMPRESSORS AND A LOT OF ANGRY CUSTOMERS BUT SINCE NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE YET THEY SAID I HAVE TO ASSUME A $2000 ON REPAIR MY SELF. I THINK THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR US CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS DEFECTIVE. PLEASE HELP.

HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/AUDI-A4/T532RVB94D9DR4EI0/P7 AUDI OF AMERICA REFUSES TO HANDLE THIS DANGERS DEFECT IN THEIR AUDI 2.0T ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS COST ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE AUDI A4 MODEL 2009-2012. COMBINED WITH THE ALREADY COURT MANDATED RECALL OF 2002-2006 AUDI 1.8T ENGINES. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN THREE ACCIDENTS FROM MY CAR VIOLENTLY SHAKING TO AUDI MOST RECENTLY RUSHING TO REPLACE MY COMPLETE ENGINE AT 36,000 MILES TO AVOID A 15 DAY CLAUSE IN CALIFORNIA TO CLASSIFY A VEHICLE AS A LEMON THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR MORE 46+ DAYS DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN LINK BELOW. I FIND IT QUITE APPALLING THAT NHTSA HAS YET TO FORCE A RECALL FOR THE AMERICAN CONSUMER. AT 25,055 MILES, ON NOVEMBER 26, 2012, THE AUDI A4 BEGAN EXPERIENCING SEVERE ENGINE PROBLEMS THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE COUPLED WITH A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND EPC LIGHT. THIS LEFT THE VEHICLE IN A DEBILITATED STATE. AFTER 4 DAYS AT THE DEALER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO CONCLUDE THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE VIOLENT SHAKING BUT INSTEAD MADE WHAT SEEMED LIKE MAKESHIFT REPAIRS TO THE CYLINDERS, INJECTION, AND INTAKE MANIFOLD.
