1 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2019

The engine burns too much oil from the pistols. I took it to the mechanic and it didn't have any leaks outside the engine so it they told me it burns the oil from inside the engine. And they cant fix the problem.

Oil consumption really high. Burning too much oil, causing my engine to run on low oil, and ruining the engine.

3 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2018

I recently purchased the vehicle from an independent dealer three weeks ago. 200 miles into driving the vehicle the oil light came on. I took the vehicle for an inspection and oil change. The vehicle passed inspection, but the mechanic noted very little oil in the vehicle, even though the next oil change wasn't for 4,000 miles. After driving the vehicle 600 more miles, the car indicated low oil again. In 2015, Audi lost a class action lawsuit for this issue. In the service records, this vehicle underwent the first stage of repairs to correct the issue in Jan 2017, when the vehicle was covered under the warranty extension granted by the lawsuit. The repairs did not work. Audi has confirmed that this is the issue most likely affecting my vehicle, and they refuse to cover it. My vehicle is below the mileage specified under the warranty, but has missed the year specified by less than 3 months. This means that Audi knowingly auctioned a defective vehicle without fulfilling their warranty obligations and deceptively passed those obligations on to independent dealers, knowing that the issue wouldn't be uncovered in an inspection. I've attempted to contact Audi to resolve this amicably, but they wont grant an exception. They told me to just keep putting oil in the car, but the oil burns at such a rapid pace, I will have to add new oil every 2 tanks of gas. This will result in thousands of extra dollars spent a year. The dealer I purchased the vehicle from is claiming that they're not responsible, but I suspect that both parties were aware of this issue and have decided to pass on the burden to the consumer. All I am asking for is for them to correct an issue they were already aware of and had attempted to fix. The warranty may have been missed by less than 3 months, but this issue had been identified prior to that. Otherwise, I will need to spend $4,000+ to have this repair.

7 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2015

Vehicle stalled out and started shaking only to find out injectors went out and oil consumption issues. Audi USA is prolonging an issue that they know is wrong with the vehicle regarding oil consumption. I have completed phase I of the test and took it to dealership to have phase ii completed however without my consent or knowledge Audi has the dealership perform phase I over again. Car is eating excessive amount of oil but yet Audi USA is prolonging the situation with no resolution. Purchased the car 08/24/2015 had to have an oil change done two weeks later beginning of September by October 15th I had to add more oil as the oil indicator light came on come to find out there is a known issue for consuming oil. I have phase I completed however I took vehicle in to have phase ii done on it only to be told they had to do phase I over which isn't fair the vehicle still eats oil and value is depreciating drastically because of Audi and Volkswagen epa violations.

8 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 12/25/2011

Hello. This model of Audi A4 2. 0t 2011 hase a big problem with oil consumption which I think is a thing that the NHTSA needs to look in to. For example : I drive the car 500 miles and the oil light comes up and is asking for 1qt of oil which I think is absolutely not normal . Ive change the oil in October and in 2 months December I use 5qt of oil to refill or to add on because the oil light was turning on . Ive took the car to Audi and did a full inspection to see if I'm losing any oil anywhere and the result was negative. I've herd that my model Audi A4 2. 0t 2011 had a problem with the pistons rings or something like that and because of that he oil consumption was very high. But just on some Audi A4 2. 0t 2011 models not all . I think and I can prove that my care has this issue and needs to be reccal because the oil goes in the environment in the air which is a very big problem for the quality of the oxygen . I'm not saying that only my car but if you google my model you will be shocked of how many people are complaining about the oil consumption on Audi A4 2. 0t 2011.
