1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/11/2026

Headlight brightness needs to be better regulated (limited) for safety reasons. During night/darkness driving conditions, the headlights of some (newer) oncoming vehicles have an led blue light brightness that is unsafe because the blinding light makes it impossible for other drivers to see the road until this type of oncoming vehicle passes.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2021

They have a design defect which allows water to get into the cabin via the moon roof. They also have an electrical motherboard under the drivers feet (comfort control module) that shorts out when it gets wet (which is easy when the rain comes in from the faulty moon roof). Now I cannot un/lock my doors, operate my windows open/closed, etc. And I believe it has negatively effected my ability for brake lights to function properly. This is a widespread issue, not just on mine. They were even class action sued for the same issue with a different year model (and settled out of court, but I was not an owner of the other car year). Please help. Thank you.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2021

The moonroof was very poorly designed/built. It clogs very easily and forces rain into the battery area. Other than that, it goes into the footwells and the comfort control module is beneath the drivers footwell. Soaking in water destroyed it. Now the windows don't go up or down. The moonroof refuses to open or shut. The car will not lock or unlock with the key. The car has sat now for too long and will no longer even turn on. The insurance company looked it all over and denied my claim. The vehicle has pretty much been totalled. Even after paying professionals to clear out the clog, there's still massive problems with it.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2018

The car goes thro high oil consumption, around one qt every 400 miles. The car also burns oil every time accelerating on a small hill- smoke comes out from the exhaust system. Cannot expedite or drive regularly. It seems that it needs piston rings replacement which was defective in the beginning but the previous owner did not care about it. The car has 115. 000 miles.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2014

Convertible soft top back glass is falling out because adhesive failed. No warranty help and dealer quoted $3500.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2014

The oil light continues to come on. I've had it changed two weeks ago and today it appeared again. It was totally empty and once I filled it up the light went out. The car was jumping and making a hhumm like noise. I was told that the turbo part of the engine needs to be replaced.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2013

The above listed vehicle was in an accident with extensive damage to the vehicle. The airbag on the driver side didn't deploy, which caused major injuries to the forehead and other body parts. The vehicle sustained major front end damage and it is unknown why the airbag didn't deploy. There were no warning signs of airbag being defective or needed to be repaired.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2013

I was driving on the highway and felt an extremely hot drop fall on top of my foot while wearing sandals. The pain was so bad I had to stop on the emergency lane to see what it was. There was a brown oily substance leaking from where the gas pedal is right on my foot. I had a pink mark after I cleaned off and kept driving. Got home about 15 minutes later and never felt it again. 2 days later the same thing happened again, also driving on the highway and this time I almost crashed because of the burning sensation on my foot. Once again it was the same oily substance. I went to my very trust worth mechanic and told me it was the heater core? immediately I knew it was expensive to fix. It's an 8 hour labor job. Took it to Audi and was told they have never heard of that happening on their cars, and seemed to blame me because maybe "I am not maintaining my car well" mean while I am on top of every little thing about that car. They want me to bring it for an inspection on this week, and they said they will have me speak with a service manager after. However in the mean time I am afraid to even drive it again. It was such an expensive car and to have to fix something like this should not be happening. Also the fact that my foot has now been burn twice, this needs to be considered a recall. I almost crashed the 2nd time around and could have injured myself and many others.
