1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2025

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!.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2017

Audi has not provided a resolution to the defective airbags. They have not sent any information on how to get this fixed. They should do this ASAP to avoid any incidents.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

When coming to a complete stop, the car shudders while going into 2nd and 1st gear as if someone has just rear ended the car. Took the Audi to an authorized dealer in my area and findings are that it is the mechatronic that is defective. Finding is that is a very common problem and Audi is not taking any action after contacting aoa. Repair cost is $2700.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2013

All four tpms sensors need replacing along with new tires. Right side motor mount is leaking fluid, and wipers streak. 80,616 mileage. In 2012 I bought new tires, wipers and regular oil changes. I'm disappointed that now I'm faced with a leaking motor mount. I take very good care of my car, I shouldn't have these major repair issues. Angie nash.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2013

Was changing lanes and when trying to accelerate the car would barely move then in an instant went extremely fast. I hit the brakes but the car was rev'd so high and going so fast that I just skidded into traffic. Before the incident we noticed it would do it but the lag wasn't so bad. . . Wasn't until we drove it on the freeway in stop and go traffic that it really became a problem. Very scary to have a car full of kids and not be able to control the acceleration.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2013

I was driving on a parkway and moved into the left lane to pass and when I accelerated, the gas pedal stuck and would not release. The car continued to accelerate -- I braked to slow down however, the gas pedal was still stuck. After tapping on the gas pedal for about 10 seconds, it finally released.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2010

I accidentally drove over the rumble strip on the side of the highway. The right rear tire blew and the car flipped over six times and changed direction. Every side air bag inflated excepted for my side, the driver's side air bag. The front air bag did not deploy either. My A4 was completely destroyed except for where I was sitting. When the first responders came they did not expect for me to be alive and the accident was classified as a level 2 trauma. I hit my head on the driver's side window and suffered a major concussion with a hematoma. I also had major facial lacerations, a broken nose, broken ribs, and a severe bone bruise on my knee. Audi sent an inspector to the car after the accident and his conclusion was there was not enough impact on the side of the car even though the car flipped six times at highway speeds to deploy my side air bag. Every other side curtain airbag deployed. The only other passengers in the car were my two labradors. No other adults were in the car. The two labradors each weighed less than 65 pounds and I weigh 135 pounds. Audi has given me a free maintenance package for my next Audi. Thank you for looking into this matter. A dvd of pictures was made of the car along with a report of the condition of the car after the accident.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2009

Shortly after purchased car, I complained that car was burning oil. I was assured this was normal and nothing to worry about. Continued more and more. I asked who was supposed to cover this added expense. They gace me oil for awhile, but that ended. In 2913 I was informed the seals were bad that is why it was using oil. They lied and denied an oil leak for over 3 years. Will not cover any costs to repair. More recent my headlight went out and they will not cover this expense either. This is the second Audi with headlight issue. I was never sent notice about the first headlight in which Audi agreed to reimburse. They will not pay me because they claim I did not file in time. Now my current Audi headlight went out. I called Audi and will not pay or acknowledge it is a problem.
