2008 Audi A4 Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2008 Audi A4. The contact received an unknown recall notice related to the air bags. The contact scheduled an appointment at a dealer and had the recall serviced. The contact then stated that while idle in the parking lot of a hospital, a speeding vehicle clipped the front end, driver's side of her vehicle, which caused the entire front bumper to detach from the vehicle. The driver also hit a gate, guardrail, and utility box in the parking lot. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact was then treated at the hospital for an injury to her neck and left shoulder. The contact sustains severe headaches weeks after the accident. The contact received an X-ray and had been assigned to physical therapy for the next few months. The other driver was not injured as a result of the accident. A police report was filed. The vehicle was initially towed to an independent mechanic and was later towed to a storage unit. The contact family member, who is mechanically inclined, stated that the vehicle's air bag sensors were defective. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired by dealer. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer; the manufacturer gave the contact a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

While I was driving on the highway the sunroof (just the window) flew off. I had the sliding roof door closed and only heard a gust of wind initially thinking it just became ajar somehow, but nope the entire window was gone, like the adhesive deteriorated I assume. The sunroof mechanism works perfectly fine. Fortunately if was really early in the morning and to my knowledge no one was on the road, but if they had been an injury or death could have happened!

Bought this car from a guy add said car runs great has smog, reg ,ac works great (not )my boyfriend before I could say anything gave guy money and I signed the bill of sale I said should test drive it so drove to my mechanic in vista ca and he said a German car oh boy and I said ouch so he said to bring it back by after checking it out so he could look in to it further so got in car that had spiderwebs on the motor my guy don't know much about cars so we went back and car stopped steering locked up ignition locked up car shut down in middle of busy traffic and would not turn over nothing so called my apt manager thought out of gas so he got some gas put it in and it started after 1 and a 1/2 hours got to gas station filled it up and started up and got back was scared because of this car people don't care almost got hit a few times so went back to seller gone so tried to find a number none text on face bk market place said this car has problems almost killed us just stopped and nothing worked went to Walmart to get some break fluid and coolent car hot and ac didn't work and something leaking it was brake fluid then check engine light on friend came and checked it and the little thing that hook up see what codes for diagnoses or why check engine light on was throwing codes misfire and fuel pump and more don't remember but my guy took pictures of the codes went back Monday cause got car [XXX] and the guy sent my guy a message bring it by and I'll look at it the car runs great he said master cylinder leaking coolent leaking oil was old how did this car even pass smog with it misfiring and shutting down once in street and at Walmart it just shut off now told fuel pump coil wires were cracked two relay switches were broken fixed one and car misfiring hole in the mast cylinder and fluid leaking and this seller calls him self a mechanic very sad have put over 100.00 dollars the guy fixed the ac and gave my guy 40 dollars I paid 55.00 seller their car at my mechanics. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Overheating in traffic replaced water pump, gasket. radiator , fan control module, thermostat, and hoses. Happens every summer!!!!! No fluid leakage. Could this be the same problem as the 2013 model recall

i was in a pretty bad car accident, the car was totaled but the air bags didn’t deploy and i slammed my head on my steering wheel, i got side swiped and the driver door wasn’t able to be opened i had to kick it open and the front of the car hit a concrete pole going roughly 35 mph or more.

2021 I brought an Audi A4 Quattro 2.0 2008 after having a test drive and haven't looked over the mechanic just said it was the fuel pressure high pressure sensor that was not a big deal after an hour buying it it took it to see my mom and it quit on me I had to have it towed home it would not start I took it to the mechanic and the mechanic said the same thing that it was a high pressure fuel pressure sensor so I purchased one and put on it couple months later it did the same thing the check engine light came on and it was told it was fuel pressure high pressure sensor again so I changed a fuel sensor two fuel pumps in the engine to electrical fuel pumps in the back four sensors camshaft sensor the cam follower PPC valves body throttle can follower engine light still comes on the car does not want to seem like it wants to accelerate when it gets to the normal temperature save your driving for 10 or 15 minutes still normal temperature not the radio the temperature it will start to cut off the RPM drops very fast I also have put in a fuel pressure regulator and a fuel pressure filter just the other day it came out again saying the same thing p0089 Dakota's always been throwing ever since I brought the car and p 02993 it says performance one and performance too I have put a lot of money in to get in this car fixed in the I believe there is something wrong with with the fuel system in the cars they need to be on a recall

I HAD JUST PUT $35 IN GASSED THE CAR STILL SAID I NEEDED GAS AND THAT I HAD ZERO MILES LEFT OF GAS I MADE A TRIP THAT WAS ABOUT 45 MILES IN DISTANCE. MY CAR WAS THEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS THEN IT HAD TROUBLE STARTING AT FIRST BUT TURNED ON AND I PROCEEDED ONTO THE FREEWAY WHICH WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARKING LOT I PARKED INSIDE OF. IT WAS ABOUT 9:00 PM AND THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF CARS OUT. THE ENTRANCE OF THIS FREEWAY CONSIST OF ONE MEDIUM SIZED STEEP HILL WHICH REMAINS TRAVELING UPWARD ONTO A MOUNTAIN WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN THE CAR AND THANKFULLY WE WERE ON THE LAST LANE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE BARELY ENTERING THE FREEWAY. I PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE SKIRT I HAD JUST REPLACED THAT BATTERY EARLIER THAT WEEK (NO MORE THAN 5 DAY BEFORE). I HAD A SMALL GAS CAN IN MY TRUNK AND HAD SOMEONE GO TO THE GAS STATION AND BRING ME THE GALLON OF GAS WHICH I EMPTIED INTO MY CAR AND IT TURNED ON. AT TIMES THE CAR DOES SMELL LIKE GASOLINE ESPECIALLY IF I JUST PUT GAS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I FILL UP MY TANK WITH IT WILL INDICATE I HAVE 0 MILES OF GAS IN THE SCREEN AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT GO BELOW THE MIDDLE INDICATOR AND WILL NEVER SHOW ABOVE 3/4 FULL. MY TPMSA IS ALWAYS INDICATING A PROBLEM WHEN THE I HAVE A MECHANIC SEE IT AND HE ASSURED ME IT'S IN GOOD CONDITION

I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND REACHED OUT TO THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER ON THEIR WEBSITE NUMEROUS TIMES OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD (AT THE VERY LEAST SINCE AUDI ANNOUNCED AGREED TO THE REPAIRS). I KEEP ON RECEIVING NOTICE POSTCARDS FROM AUDI TO HAVE THIS SCHEDULED WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO BE PATIENT, THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN ONE COMES IN. I HAVE STARTED TO RECEIVE POSTCARDS FROM ANOTHER DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR...ONLY THIS DEALER IS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN CALIFORNIA! IT DOES NOT SEEM TO ME WHEN I CONTACT AUDI OF AMERICA THEY DON'T REALLY CARE. I ONLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY ABOARD(BECAUSE OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER ANTI PERSONNEL DEVICE). THE ONLY HELP FROM AUDI WAS IN THE FROM OF A RECOMMENDATION "DO NOT" USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TO RECAP 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I BELIEVE I LIVE IN ZONE2, NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO BOTH AUDI OF AMERICA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, RECALL NOTICES FROM CALIFORNIA! *****UPDATE: AS I WAS ABOUT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT I DECIDED TO CALL BENZEL BUSCH AUDI TO CHECK. AND MIRACULOUSLY THEY HAVE ONE. I WAS TOLD BY AUDI OF AMERICA THROUGH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE GREG M. ON MAY 16, 2019, THAT HE SPOKE TO KATHERINE AT SERVICE AND THAT THEY ARE AWAITING PARTS AND THAT SHE ASSURED HIM THAT I WAS A PRIORITY AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVES THEY WILL BE REACHING OUT TO ME DIRECTLY. IN THE ALMOST A YEAR OF WAITING, NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME, NOT AOA OR LOCAL DEALER. I CALLED HER TODAY JAN. 8, 2020 AND SCHEDULED A REPAIR ON JAN.13. IT WOULD SEEM THAT I AM NOT A PRIORITY.

LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT FLICKERS , DIES OUT. WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY , THE LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT WILL FLICKER REPEATEDLY AND DIE OUT. TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON FIXES THE ISSUE FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE FLICKERING STARTS UP AGAIN AND EVERY 5 MINUTES THE LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT GOES OUT AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING FOR NOT ONLY SAFETY REASONS , BUT FOR LEGAL REASONS AS WELL GIVEN THAT I HAVE TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON EVERY 5 MINUTES TO AVOID BREAKING THE LAW BY DRIVING WITH A HEADLIGHT OUT AT NIGHT. THIS ORIGIN OF THIS ISSUE IS UNKNOWN , BUT IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND IT WARRANTS A RECALL CONSIDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2008 LINE OF AUDI A4 VEHICLES POINTS TO A MASS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IT IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS IT IS ILLEGAL! THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE DEMANDS A RECALL!

TAKATA RECALL: AUDI REFUSES TO PERFORM THE RECALL FOR U.S CITIZENS ABROAD. I AM U.S. CITIZEN CURRENTLY BASED IN EUROPE, WORKING FOR A U.S. IT COMPANY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE VEHICLE WAS UNTIL 2013 IN THE U.S., AND I MOVED IT TEMPORARILY TO GERMANY FOR MY ASSIGNMENT HERE. I AM PLANNING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME TO THE U.S. UPON MY RETURN. I RECEIVED THE RECALL TO MY U.S. ADDRESS AND ASKED AUDI TO DO THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR IN GERMANY, WHERE THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED. BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO SO IN GERMANY. I AM CONCERNED THAT AS A U.S. CITIZEN ABROAD, THAT I AM AT RISK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND REQUEST AUDI TO PERFORM THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR ALSO DURING MY OVERSEAS ASSIGNMENT IN GERMANY.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I HAVE BEEN CALLING MY LOCAL AUDI DEALERSHIP IN CHANTILLY, VA EVERY MONTH OR SO TO CHECK IF THE PART IS AVAILABLE, ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER "SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK" (THEY NEVER DO). I UNDERSTAND THAT TAKATA WENT OUT OF BUSINESS BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. MY CAR AT THIS MOMENT IS WORTHLESS, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL IT WITH AN OPEN RECALL THAT HAS NO REMEDY AT THIS MOMENT, NOR CAN I HAVE ANY PASSENGER SAFELY SIT NEXT TO ME. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH AUDI FOR HANDLING THIS SO POORLY AND FOR NOT HAVING A SOLUTION. IN THE MEANWHILE I GET TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL MAILING REMAINDERS FROM AUDI ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK, THEY MAKE YOU THINK THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT THEY ARE NOT AND FOR MY OLDER MODEL CAR - A 2008 - THEY PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER AUDI EVER AGAIN.

ON 7/2/18 I MERGED ON TO 280 S FROM MOORPARK AVENUE IN SAN JOSE. I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT A MILE @ 60 (I DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL) WHEN ENGINE STARTED TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. I STEPPED ON BRAKE WHICH SLOWED MY VEHICLE BUT WHEN I REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT FREEWAY SAFELY AND PULL OVER INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. WHEN I TURNED OFF ENGINE I BELIEVE I HEAR A LOUD "ROAR" NOISE. EXPERIENCE WAS FRIGHTENING. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND CAUSE MAJOR INJURY. I CHECKED FLOOR MAT AND FLOOR TO SEE IF THERE WAS OBSTRUCTION BUT THERE WAS NONE. I CALLED TOW COMPANY BUT AFTER WAITING 3 HOURS FOR C&M TOWING TO NOT SHOW UP I DECIDED TO DRIVER CAR AROUND PARKING LOT TO SEE HOW IT WOULD DRIVE. IT DROVE FINE SO I DROVE HOME ON SURFACE STREETS. THE NEXT DAY TOOK 2008 AUDI A4 WITH 64K MILES IN TO OUR MECHANIC. DIAGNOSTICS DID NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODES.I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. STILL I NEED TO REPORT THIS FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD,IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS AGAIN TO ME OR OTHERS AND IT DOES NOT END WELL. LINDA

NO AIR BAGS AVAILABLE AFTER 2 YEARS. NOW I AM TOLD THAT THERE NO NEW BAGS AND THE 1ST RECALL BAGS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THIS AFTER I RECEIVED NUMEROUS NOTICES TO GET IT FIXED! AT NO TIME WAS I ASSISTED BY MY DEALER SHIP NORTH SHORE AUDI, IN BROWN DEER, WI. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNETHICAL! PLEASE HELP ME. WHEN I CALLED AUDI CORP. THEY WERE EVEN LESS HELPFUL THAN THE DEALERSHIP. THIS AFTER WANTING ON HOLD FOR OVER 30 MINUTES!

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2008 AUDI A4 HAS AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHICH WHEN RAN BY COMPUTER INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MY A4 RANDOMLY SWITCHES INTO NEUTRAL AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NO CONTROL AND HAVE COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD ON ONE OCCASION WHEN "DRIVE" WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE. MY DASHBOARD SCREEN FLASHES OVER THE PRND TRANSMISSION INDICATORS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO, SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUDI DEALER IN SOUTH ORLANDO. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS GONE BAD AND WILL COST $3100 TO REPAIR. THE CAR ALSO WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE ABOUT EVERY 3RD OR 4TH TIME I SELECT THIS GEAR. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ON 2004-2006 MODELS, SO I WOULD ASSUME AUDI WILL RECALL THIS MODEL YEAR AS WELL. MY A4 HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER SINCE NEW. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ELEVATED TO A RECALL STATUS ALREADY GIVEN THE PREVIOUS HISTORY OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE SAME MODELS.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR MY CHECKED FRONTAL PASSENGER AIRBAGS BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS YET TO PROVIDE A FREE REMEDY FOR THESE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I WOULD LIKE THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE AIR BAGS FOR FREE BEFORE THE RECALL CASE IS CLOSED.

IT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND I GO TO PARK IT. WHEN I PASS REVERSE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT MORE OFTEN AFTER IT RAINS. MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO A MAJOR FAULT. CODE P0706: TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR TELLS THE TCM THE POSITION OF THE GEAR LEVER. IT ALSO CONTAINS A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, WHICH ENSURES THAT YOU CAN ONLY START YOUR CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO SET ARE: FAULTY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR MISADJUSTED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR OPEN OR SHORTED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR HARNESS FAULTY PCM IT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THE A4 AUDI'S. ITS DANGEROUS AND ITS NOT ANYTHING THAT OWNERS OF THE AUDIS DID OR DID NOT DO. I HAVE NEVER NEGLECTED MY CAR. IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ENEVATABLE BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED DURING THE MANUFACTURING.
