2015 Audi A4 Complaint Log

Oil consumption is extremely high this vehicle burns way to much oil in short amount of time. Oil has to be added every 300 to 400 miles and there are no leaks present

The contact owns a 2015 Audi A4. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the coolant warning light illuminated. The vehicle was turned off and restarted after 20 minutes, and the coolant warning light was no longer illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 141,177.

Spark plug for damaged due to oil seeping into it. This could lead to overheating of engine or cylinders getting damaged potentially leading to vehicle malfunction when I drive. Audi inspected the part and recommended to reseal the top of the engine. There was a warning for check engine which led to identifying the problem

No 3 cylinder piston ring failure .Loss of compression.

Piston ring defect and blew from over oil consumption. All years from Audi A4 2012-2019 recall law suit but they did not include 2015 which all years and models have same piston ring manufacturer defect it blew on me while I was driving home . Lucky I was in neighborhood and not on highway very unsafe.

MMI system worked during test drive and then NOT worked after final sale: Safety systems included: The Multi Media Interface (MMI) system is an in-car user interface media system developed by Audi, and was launched at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show. MMI operates a large number of in car entertainment components, car electronics, and other functions. The list below indicates systems controllable by MMI. However, depending on the car model, along with version specified, only some functions will be available. Satellite navigation Radio tuner Media sources Telephone HVAC, climate control Car setup (e.g. central locking), global audio settings, suspension settings Rear view camera and parking sensors Driver information (e.g. fuel economy…) User manual Apple CarPlay 2014 and later model.

Turn signal switch malfunction. When turning right turn direction on, the left turn goes on instead of the right turn. After researching the issue, it looks like it’s a common issue with Audi. This is a safety issue and need to be recalled asap.

The vehicle has an oil consumption issue whereby I top off the oil in about every 400 miles. The dealership indicated that this is a known problem with Audi. The issue first started with warnings that engine is overheating and with further warnings that oil level is low

The second (not movable) glass pane of the "panoramic sunroof" spontaneously shattered. That happened three days ago, because of the potential for water damage I need to have this repaired as soon as possible. However, until I get it repaired it is available for inspection. Apparently many Audi owners have experienced a similar phenomenon, commonly called "exploding sunroof", and other people have had the glass completely explode out. I did not have that happen but the glass did shatter entirely and completely. There was no rock or anything else that hit the sunroof as far as we know. It did leave significant cracks in the glass and I have photos of it. If the glass had completely blown out, it would have showered glass pieces into the passenger compartment. I did not involve the police or ask for a report. I will be taking the car to the Audi dealer and probably making an insurance claim because the repair will be fairly expensive. My car has always been dealer serviced on schedule. It is in excellent condition (outside of the shattered sunroof glass anyway). There were and are no warning lights or indicators related to the damaged glass.

Sunroof just exploded

The engine failed while I was driving. The car did not show any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms, it just jumped and died. I had the car towed to my mechanic. The mechanic thought it was the starter, but then realized the chain had broken and it hit other parts of the engine, including the pistons catastrophically. The engine is not reparable. My safety was a risk as the car died on a busy road. Audi has asked that I bring the car, at my expense for them to inspect, without offering anything. I have a letter from them indicating that they will not help. ABS SYSTEM and Brake Actuator that is failing or defective. Vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not repaired.

The engine had catastrophic damage. I was driving, full oil, and the engine just died. The mechanic said the engine was destroyed and believes it was a manufacturing mistake.

Excessive oil consumption

The battery failed/malfunctioned and was leaking hydrogen sulfide gas into my car slowly for a long period of time. A month or two after I initially financed this used Audi A4 at Volkswagon in Dothan, AL, I started experiencing the side effects of low dose exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas. From that point until today my symptoms have been getting worse and worse. My asthma symptoms progressed. I caught walking pneumonia several times. My hair has been falling out in clumps and my kindneys are having serious issues. My pee started smelling very strange. Consistently, over the past year and a half, I have nearly passed out at the wheel of my car over and over. For a very long time, the gas was odorless and really couldn't be detected by smell. Five days ago I went to start my car and it wouldn't crank. I jumped it off and for the next five days following that the smell of rotten eggs got worse and worse....I'm lying in the bed right now bc my lungs feel like they're going to explode. I've felt this, along with my heart feeling like it was going to explode put of my chest, as well as my entire stomach/intestines feeling as if someone were stabbing me with knives. My doctors could not figure out why all of my hair was falling out or why I started to develop peripheral neuropathy. They even ran tests on me for Multiple Schlerosis. Found nothing. They did electrical pulse tests and cat scans and my dermatologist had no explanation for my hair just falling off my head in handfuls. I have a third of the hair on my head that I used to have. My skin and eyes consistently kept getting irritated by the gas as well....splotchy red exema like patches appeared all over me. I had a miscarriage because of this as well. I couldn't afford to get the car looked at, so it hasn't been taken anywhere. I received no warning of the problem until two days ago when my lights in my car and the air conditioner stopped working. The year of my life had been a living hell.

DRIVER'S SIDE LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING WHILE DRIVING CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE TRAVELING AMID TRAFFIC ON BUSY HIGHWAY SEE ATTACHED DESCRIPTION

THE CAR BURNS TOO MUCH OIL, NEED TO ADD 1 QUART EVERY 700-1000 MILES. THERE IS NO LEAK BUT THE OIL BURNS AND YOU CAN SEE THE EXHAUST PIPES ARE BLACK. IT SEEMS THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN 2011 4 CYLINDER AUDIS AND IT WAS ADDRESSED BY AUDI.

THE VEHICLE ROLLS FORWARD WHILE FACING A DOWNHILL, AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE.

I NOTICED THE STEERING STARTED GETTING HARD TO TURN. I TOOK TO AUDI DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I SAID NOT I KNOW MY CAR. ON THE HIGHWAY 2 WEEKS LATER ENTERING A CURVE AT HIGH MPH THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN. I TAPPED BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY WITH 2 HANDS I COULD TURN AROUND CURVE. VERY SCARY AND BARELY MADE TURN. I PROCEEDED TO HOME BUT AT A TURN I STARTED THE TURN AND THE STEERING AGAIN STIFFENED SO HARD IT SENT ME TOWARDS THE CROSSWALK AND LUCKILY THE BRAKES STOPPED ME INCHES FROM HITTING A BOY ON HIS BIKE. I KEPT HITTING BRAKES AND FINALLY THE WHEEL RELEASED THE TENSION. I DROVE HOME AND LEFT IT UNTIL I GOT AN APPOINTMENT AT AUDI DEALER. I CAREFULLY DROVE IT DOWN TO DEALER AND HALF THE DRIVE IT WAS FINE AND HALF THE DRIVE THE CAR I BELIEVE ELECTRONICALLY TIGHTENED DOWN THE WHEEL SO IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CAR IS AT DEALER BUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT ISSUE. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR THAT SAME MODEL AND YEAR AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL ISSUES EXACTLY DESCRIBED LIKE MINE. IT OCCURS IN MOTION WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING. I FIND THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND AM WORRIED TO DRIVE UNTIL ISSUE FOUND. I BELIEVE IT IS A COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL TYPE ISSUE BASED UPON MY EXPERIENCE WHERE IT ISN'T HAPPENING ALL THE TIME BUT I AM NOT A MECHANIC. I FIND THIS ISSUE REALLY TROUBLING. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AND I AM STILL SHAKING FROM HOW CLOSE I CAME TO RUNNING OVER A LITTLE BOY ON HIS BICYCLE. WITH OTHER PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME ISSUE AND DESCRIBING IT SIMILARLY I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE MODEL.

ISSUE WITH POORLY ENGINEERED WATER PUMP. MY WATER PUMP WENT OUT DUE TO A SMALL PLASTIC SEAL MALFUNCTIONING AND ALLOWING COOLANT TO EXPEL FROM SYSTEM. I AM FORTUNATE I LEARNED OF THE ISSUE UPON STARTING MY CAR AND COULD IMMEDIATELY TAKE CARE OF IT, ALTHOUGH LEAVING WORK AT 9PM, LONG AFTER EVERYONE HAS LEFT AND WITH NO AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS OPEN MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TAKE CARE OF. UPON TALKING WITH AN INDEPENDENT AUDI/VW SPECIALIST AND DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I CAME TO FIND THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLY COMMON PROBLEM. MY CAR HAD ONLY 35K MILES ON IT AND WAS 1 MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE AUDI/VW SHOP SAYS THEY REPLACE 4-5 OF THESE PUMPS PER WEEK! IT CLEARLY IS A MAJOR ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE A CAR CANNOT FUNCTION AND IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE WITHOUT THE COOLING SYSTEM. I WAS VERY UPSET THAT THE AUDI BRAND WOULD ALLOW A KNOWN PROBLEM TO CONTINUE, AS IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A 'LUCK OF THE DRAW' PART MALFUNCTION.

BUCKLE ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NOT LATCH. DEALER SAID IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND I HAD TO PAY $250.80 TO REPLACE. BUCKLE WAS REPLACED DEC. 17, 2018

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (19N4) AND AS A FIRST STEP I'M ADVISED TO HAVE AN AUDI DEALER DISCONNECT THE COOLANT PUMP IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID A FIRE. I LIVE 5 HOURS FROM THE NEAREST AUDI DEALERSHIP BUT HAVE A LOCAL SHOP THAT WORKS ON GERMAN MADE CARS INCLUDING THE AUDI. HOWEVER, AUDI REFUSES TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LOCAL SHOP TO DISCONNECT THE COOLANT PUMP AND AVOID A FIRE. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALL MY DEALER THEY CAN'T GET ME IN ON THE DAY I'LL BE IN THE AREA. SO, I'M TOLD IT'S IMPORTANT BUT GIVEN NO REMEDY TO AVOID A FIRE. BASICALLY, AUDI SENT OUT THE RECALL NOTICE TO COVER THEIR BUTTS AND REALLY HAVE NO INTEREST TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WITH THE FUEL ECONOMY FIASCO AND THEIR LACK OF CONCERN OVER SAFETY RECALLS - MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE BARRED FROM EVEN SELLING CARS IN THE U.S.A

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON OCTOBER 11, 2018 IN BALTIMORE CITY. ANOTHER CAR MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I HAD THE GREEN LIGHT AND MY CAR HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE OTHER CAR. I WAS GOING AT LEAST 30 MILES/HR AND HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO BRAKE OR SWERVE. MY CAR WAS DISABLED, THERE WAS ENGINE OIL LEAKING AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING THIS ACCIDENT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO AUDI USA AND RECEIVED A COMPLAINT # 181561250 THE CAR IS NOW AT GERBER COLLISION & GLASS IN JESSUP, MARYLAND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V229000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (UNKNOWN DEALER INFORMATION) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

AUDI SAFETY RECALL 19N4-ELECTRIC (AFTER RUN) COOLANT PUMP. I HAVE BEEN WAITING NOW ABOUT 6 MONTHS FOR A NEW PUMP TO BE AVAILABLE FROM AUDI TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COOLING PUMP, THAT IS TO COOL THE TURBOCHARGER AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. I WAS TOLD, IN WRITING AND OVER THE PHONE BY AUDI, THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF 2018. TODAY WHEN I CALLED AUDI THEY WILL ONLY SAY IT IS TO BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF 2019. NOT HAVING THE AFTER RUN PUMP PROPERLY COOLING THE TURBOCHARGER CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TURBOCHARGER AND THAT CAN BE VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. ALSO, IF I WANT TO SELL OR TRADE IN THIS CAR NOW, WITH OUT THE REPLACEMENT PUMP, THE VALUE OF THE CAR IS WORTH LESS AND I WILL LOOSE MONEY DUE TO THIS ISSUE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS PUMP REPLACED AS AUDI SAID THEY WOULD ORIGINALLY?

TAKATA RECALL OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 14V66700 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT JULY 13 2018. MY CAR'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, 3 OTHER CARS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. FIREMAN AT THE SCENE TOLD ME "THERE IS A RECALL ON YOUR CAR, DID YOU KNOW?" MY MARKET VALUATION REPORT AS MY CAR WAS TOTALED, STATES THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR. IT STATES DUE TO AN IMPROPER ALGORITHM IN THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE, IF A CRASH NECESSITATES DEPLOYMENT OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS, A SECOND IMPACT TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE MAY NOT COMMAND THE FRONT AIR BAGS TO ALSO DEPLOY AND AS A CONSEQUENCE FURTHER STATES, IF THE FRONT AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A SECONDARY IMPACT TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF OCCUPANT INJURY. TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE SLOWING OF TRAFFIC FOR QUITE A DISTANCE. I TRAVEL THIS AREA REGULARLY AND AM AWARE OF THE CONSTRUCTION THAT CAUSES TRAFFICE TO SLOW. THE TRUCK AHEAD OF ME STOPPED, I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR BEHIND ME STOPPED THEN A A CAR HIT ME FROM BEHIND, MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE A CAR LENGTH AHEAD OF ME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. MY CAR WAS ALSO PUSHED SIDEWAYS INTO THE CONCRETE DIVIDER. WHEN I READ THE RECALL, IT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN MY CAR. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED OCTOBER 28, 2014. WHY DID THEY NOT DEPLOY? PLEASE ADVISE AS THIS WAS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND I AM DEALING WITH A BRAIN INJURY. THERE WAS A FATALITY AS WELL. *TT *DT *TR

SAFETY RECALL 19N4 AUDI RECOMMENDS PARKING CAR OUTDOORS DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. OUR CONDO'S PARKING IS INSIDE THE BUILDING THAT HOUSES BOTH RESIDENTS AND HOTEL QUESTS, WITH NO OUTSIDE PARKING AVAILABLE. THEY DO NOT HAVE A REPAIR THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE THE SAFETY ISSUE. THEY CLAIM "AT THIS TIMEIT IS NOT POSSIBLE" FOR THEM TO TRADE THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR US TO PURCHASE A NEW OR USED AUDI THAT WE COULD PARK IN A STRUCTURE SAFELY. I MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANY COMPENSATION OF ANY KIND (OR SPECIAL DEAL GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES). SHE REPEATED "AT THIS TIME IS NOT POSSIBLE". PER AUDI OF AMERICAN REP. LATONYA @ 248.754.3274.

RECALL NHTSA: 18V229 SOUNDS CRITICAL AND UNSAFE. AUDI EVEN STATES IN LETTER DO NOT PARK IN GARAGE DUE TO LIABILITY. WILL NOT PAYOFF MY CAR IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A NEW ONE. TRIED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MAKING A BUCK. SHOULD AT LEAST PROVIDE A RENTAL TILL REPAIRS ARE MADE OR PAY OFF MY CAR FOR TRADE IN WITH AUDI FINANCIAL.

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY 2015 AUDI A4 BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. I AM DOING A PCS TO ROTA, SPAIN AUGUST 28, 2018 AND HAVE PLANNED ON SHIPPING MY CAR AS WELL. WITH A CURRENT RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, I AM UNSURE THE NEXT STEPS.

STEERING SHAFT IS FAULTY. WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE. AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE STEERING IS NOTCHY, YOU CAN'T SEEM TO FIND "CENTER" AND CONSTANTLY HAVE TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL TO REMAIN STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE MOVING, ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A REMEDY TO FIX MY VEHICLE WHICH I AM TOLD CAN CATCH FIRE. THE RECALL IS 19N4, CAN YOU PLEASE FOLLOW UP ON THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A REMEDY.
