3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2019

I purchased from a dealership with warranty and with in the week the car needed a quart of oil, I come to find out the car has been to Audi dealership and it was advised the vacuum pump needs to be replaced and that the engine is consuming oil, the dealership that sold this car in auction to the dealership I bought the car from was fully aware of this issue since Audi diagnosed it for them and no work had been done. Audi had a call back for this issue and had refused to address the issue when the dealership brought it to their attention and now I am stuck with a car loan on a car that need over $6k in repairs to the engine it self.

7 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2012

When I called the nearest dealer for a scheduled maintenance for 55000 miles, I was informed of a recall involving the camshaft. By phone, they told me that there was no charge for this work and it would take about two hours. I delivered the vehicle at 8 am and at 11 am I received a call. They said that they would begin the recall work, but it was a recall that involved the 50000 mile warranty. I was nearing 55000 miles, but they would due the work under warranty. At 2 pm, I was informed that there was internal damage to the engine and they would need to keep the vehicle for several days. They provided a rental car until they completed the work. My complaint is that I never received any notice??? the service manager told me that the issue with the camshaft problem went out in June 2011. That was one month after the maine dealer performed my 35000 mile maintenance!!! the point is that the longer I drove the vehicle, the worse the problem progressed. They said that eventually, I would loose the engine.

8 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2012

Since the moment I purchased this vehicle in 2012, I've had nothing but constant issues. This vehicle has stopped in the middle of the street on the freeway (surprised I was not hurt because of this). I've had engine lights on, check oil level lights on, alternator going bad, esp lights on, bearings replacement. You name it, its happened. I took my Audi in for an appraisal and turns out the transmission is going bad, had warranty and Audi services did not mention any issues with my transmission, wasn't until my warranty had expired when I found this out. This vehicle should be recalled.
