1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2025

This vehicle had a claim for water pump replacement and the 3. 0 model has a recall for the turbo charger. This vehicle is experiencing the same issues and went from 70 mph to 0 and stalled on the freeway. Thankfully the semi and other vehicles were able to avoid me or my family would be reaching out instead of me. Currently the vehicle is parked in my garage because it is unsafe to drive. Can you please advise Audi to take responsibility and offer the same recalls on the 2. 0 vehicles for the water pump and turbo charger because they have the same internal parts as the 3. 0 vehicles that failed and these parts were covered.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 04/16/2024

I took the vehicle into a repair shop because the check engine light is on. I was advised that the water pump is leaking and it needs to be replaced along with the thermostat. The turbo charger assembly also needs to be replaced. Both of these items appear to be deficient and were listed under recent recalls on similar Audi vehicles and this VIN was not included in either recall. However, it appears to be a similar concern and should be resolved by the manufacturer.
