general problems of the 2016 Audi A3

The contact owns a 2016 Audi A3. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine and low oil warning lights illuminated. The contact also became aware that there was fuel leaking from the charcoal canister. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed and determined that the evaporative emissions and charcoal canister needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The suction jet pump inside the fuel tank is designed to purge fuel from the evaporative emissions (evap) system. This mechanism could leak and cause a fire. I have informed Audi about the issue but they indicated there isn't a fix for the repair currently. They even stated there isn't a deadline or date they could give me for the repair.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? power train system failed also engine light is now on how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? me and my toddler were in the vehicle when it started to jerk in bad traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes, the mechanic said this is a serious problem and I should be concerned. He stated I should not drive my vehicle. It was inspected by a certified mechanic. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no, everything happen at one time.

The contact owns a 2016 Audi A3. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds the warning message, "oil level sensor system fault" was displayed. The warning message continued to display on different occasions while the contact was driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the mechanic stated that several codes were displaying. The mechanic informed the contact that replacing the sensor may fix the failure and it was replaced. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle at unknown speeds, the vehicle began to stall and the warning message recurred. The contact stated that this failure recurred a few times, and the contact had to turn the vehicle off, and then on again to get the vehicle to operate. The vehicle was towed to another independent mechanic where the failure was unknown, and the mechanic had the vehicle taken to a different mechanic. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle gear shift failed to shift from park when the vehicle was started and advised the contact the vehicle needed to be towed to the dealer. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it has not been diagnosed yet. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,500.

At 100,000 miles my engine lost all compression in cylinder 4 causing the vehicle to suffer a serious lack of power and become a danger to drive. Upon further research I have found that this is not uncommon for the Audi/vw 2. 0 liter tfsi (direct injected) engines. It appears that injector issues lead to either lean or rich running conditions that essentially melt the pistons and/or rings. I did have to have the engine replaced as there was no way to reliably verify whether the engine could be re-built so another engine was sourced from a salvage yard. The entire cost for the job was roughly $9,000. Again, this appears to be more common than a person should expect for an engine with such low mileage.

I have filed multiple complaints with you all regarding my concern for safety and anxiety each time I get behind the wheel of my car. I contacted Audi, national, local dealer and no help with national safety recall. My car has been presenting random electrical concerns. It has shown numerous check engine lights telling me to shut engine down immediately, my ac will shut off, my speed declines at times and becomes almost as if I’m losing control of the car. It has done this at a stop and also on the highway going 75. I have had to pullover many times. I am so scared something is going to happen. I took to Audi after calling numerous times about recall and how the electrical has got to be a part of this national recall and they stated “ yes, that’s cannot be ruled out “ but they would not fix under recall more could they fix anything with the national recall they’ve had for years! they have stopped making all a 3’s and pulled them all off the lots! this is huge and tells me it is very serious and something has to be done!!! I recently got my car back from a collision center from driving to see a patient going 75 in the fast lane when we feel the car shaking out of control, I’ve lost control of the vehicle and we are in the far left lane with nowhere to go but into a 18wheeler! we had nowhere safe to go! it happened so fast that I’m screaming snd praying god please take the wheel!! my tire tread completely separated from my right rear side and caused about 6feet of tread whipping the car underneath and along the passenger side doors, windows etc… it was horrific and I’m terrified to drive!! my daughter was in the passenger seat and the air bag was not working when we were able to come to a stop on the shoulder! we had to be towed and tread was everywhere! I didn’t know at that time what happened! I thought it was a blowout, it was the tread came completely off the rubber! we almost flipped! my fear!!! we could’ve died - I cannot wait for next time!!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2016 Audi A3. The contact stated that while driving at 20 mph and he noticed a burning smell in his vehicle while. Close to his house.

Twice I have experienced the random loss of power. The first time occurred on a local street, driving approximately 40 mph, and all of a sudden the vehicle stuttered and lost power. It appeared as if the vehicle was slowing down, not even coasting but slowing down considerably. I was required to pull onto a side road. I restarted the car and the issue disappeared. The second time occurred on the highway driving in the left lane at approximately 70 mph. Same issue, car stuttered and then loss power. The car's speed slowed considerable fast, from 70 to 30 in apprximately 5-7 seconds. With the inability to accelerate on a three lane highway, it was difficult to make my way to the shoulder on the right side of the road. After the stutter, you can press the gas pedal and not acceleration is experienced. I did not notice any warning lights on the instrument panel. Brought the vehicle to Audi to address this issue, and their response was "we don't see any fault codes, therefore we have no record of it happening", and sent me off with a "good luck" vehicle had apprximately 12,000 miles and 15,000 miles when issues occurred. All dealer recommended maintanence was performed.

I bought a cpo 2016 A3 1. 8t from Audi of palo alto on may 20, 2017 with a little under 19100 miles. Great fast car. Until June 17, 2017 when it had 19878 miles. The car started to stutter/sputter/jerk while on the fwy. I was going about 50-60mph on the fwy, cruising, and then it stuttered. It lost the power to accelerate to keep up the fwy pace and it slowed down considerably so I pulled over. I had it towed to the nearest dealer (Audi of concord). It was there from 6/17 to 6/29. Dealer said it had a faulty turbo, stating the wastegate failed, so they replaced the entire turbo. I got the car back with about 20072 miles, so apparently they did some road tests. Yesterday, July 3, 2017, while picking up some gifts for my daughter's birthday, the issue came back again. This time, my wife and 2 small children were in the car. We were cruising around 60-65 mph. It was scarier as I had to think for their safety first and foremost. Imagine a car that suddenly lost acceleration power on the freeway at around 6:30pm. We easily could have gotten rear-ended. Anyway, I researched on Audi's reliability and did read on some comments about how lousy they are. I gambled and decided to buy one anyway. Boy did I lose big. At this point, I'd rather have a kia or chevy.

Driving 50-60 mph on the fwy when all of a sudden the car started to jerk/stutter and then it lost speed. The jerking is similar to a new driver learning how to drive a manual transmission where you're thrown fwd and back somewhat violently. As I tried to accelerate back to fwy speed, it wouldn't accelerate. It kept slowing down instead. No cel illuminated. I decided to exit and pulled into a parking lot.
