general problems of the 2016 Audi S6

Hi - the crankcase ventilation valve extended warranty awa-18-03 covers only ten years or 120k miles. My car has close to 160k miles. According to NHTSA or Audi, “Audi has determined that, in some vehicles, it is possible for the crankcase ventilation valve too malfunction, causing a whistling noise in the engine compartment and the mil to illuminate due to the presence of specific fault codes caused by this component. This condition may impact the vehicle tailpipe emissions, and the presence of a mil-on condition may cause the vehicle to fail an im (smog) test. ” this is causing the engine to rev on its own, foul odor, consume more oil and gas, mil-on, and potentially cause the im (smog) test to fail regardless of years or miles and a safety issue. Please add this matter to recall rather than extended warranty and is likely related to NHTSA campaign number: 22v178000 which is causing oil separator and coolant pipe issues that need to be covered.

I was driving my car and it stalled out in the middle of an intersection which was totally unsafe and it would barely start. I was able to limp it to safety but it would not run or idle correctly. I had it towed to the local Audi dealership and they diagnosed the issue as being the turbos. The turbos failed and need to be replaced. The obvious known issue with the oil screen starving the turbos and causing collateral damage is well documented hence Audi issued an extended warranty on turbos and the recall on the oil screen however the dealer is refusing to do any repair and has had the vehicle for over a week.

While driving with my wife and kids, on the highway, in the rain a warning message was displayed. The warning stated: steering malfunction, please stop the vehicle!. At which point the power steering locked-up & the engine powered down. As a result, I was unable to steer the vehicle. Thankfully, I was able to “muscle” the car off the highway and onto a secondary roadway. Vehicle was towed. With the power steering locking-up and not being able to effectively steer the vehicle this is a huge safety issue and needs to be addressed with Audi. This could have ended tragically if it were to happen to a driver who was unable to “muscle” the vehicle to safety.

I am having a transmission malfunction warning light on the dashboard that comes on. The car will not shift gears which is dangerous when driving in streets/highway. This is a known issue with the Audi S6 and related models and a class action lawsuit is in process. Audi is trying to charge few thousands dollars $8000-$12,000 to replace the mechatronic and clutch transmission system which is very prone to failure. Thank you.

Loss of power on freeway, due to known turbo issue on these cars. Filter for turbo oil clogs, and burns the turbo's without warning causing loss of power. Not to mention it often sends metal into your engines oil and the repair for that is more than the car is worth.

The passenger side turbo failed. Yes it’s available for inspection. I was driving and I felt a pop, like a backfire from under the hood. The car lost power instantly and was any under power anymore on the road. It could have been a lot worse if I was on a busy highway but luckily was on a street with do one behind me. It was confirmed it was the turbo failure and the turbo has been inspected. No warning lamps or any prior symptoms before hand. Once it happened it started throwing warning lights for pretty much everything. Limited slip diff, air bags, epc, tpms, check engine light and traction control warning lights all went off one after the other.

On 09apr2021 I was driving on my way to pick up my dogs from daycare. During my ride the car seemed hesitant with power. When I arrived at the daycare and parked the car essentially seemed like it was choking and at one point completely shut off on it's own. After I picked up my dog I tried starting the car and it took 3 attempts for it to start. On the way home I had to try and keep the car in motion in order to keep the engine on, so every red light was a game. Moving though rush our in the city was very difficult and the care nearly died 3 times. I made it home and the car turned off on it's own, when I parked. I made an appointment with Audi and brought the car in the next morning - on the way in the car died on while in motion approaching a red light on a city street. It inadvertently stopped traffic until I could put the car back in park, and attempt to start the engine twice, before it started again and I was able to drive the rest of the way to the dealership. The dealership diagnosed it as blown turbos.

The contact owns a 2016 Audi S6. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 22v178000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the repair had been previously completed by an independent mechanic, a year prior to receiving the recall letter. The contact filed paperwork to be reimbursed after receiving the recall letter. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer, and the dealer stated that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The dealer had not performed the recall repair, stating that the vehicle had been modified. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. Parts distribution disconnect.

I was accelerating with traffic while on an on ramp and merging into busy traffic on the interstate, when suddenly I lost power and my car began to decelerate at a rapid pace. There was no throttle when the gas pedal was being pressed. Seconds after that I lost power to the car. Luckily, I was able to put my hazards and coast through 2 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. During which time, I had no power steering and had to fight to move the wheel. I had the car brought to my Audi mechanic who said it sounds like your turbos blew and that was indeed the case. He said he sees it all the time on the 4. 0 tt engines because of Audis poor oil screen design that starves the turbos of oil and leads to the seizing up and breaking.

Turbo failure at 60,000 miles stationary would not start.
