| After a stop light changed to green i started a left turn. immediately the car started to shake. it seemed like i was driving over some lane divider bumps. i noticed the engine light was on so i found a safe place to pull over. the car had to be towed. the dealership diagnosed a faulty ignition coil.( all four ignition coils were already replaced in 2010 because of a recall). again i had all 4 ignition coils replaced. i also had to have spark plugs replaced; (possibly because of the faulty ignition coils ruining some of the plugs. the spark plugs were replaced about 20,000 miles ago.) i was told by the dealership that the original recall of the ignition coils did not cover this event. i feel there should be another recall for the ignition coils and include spark plug replacements. *tr | |||

| Purchased the vehicle from mckenna audi in norwalk with 25,302 miles and oem warranty. the first issue was an unusual vibration from the engine at 29,761 mi. audi of mission viejo claimed there was nothing wrong. at 36,120 mi, the transmission failed and was replaced. at 41,940mi, ignition coils were replaced after complaining of vibration/shuttering/hesitation. at 46,163mi, complained of shuttering/hesitation. hose seals & timing belt roller were replaced. at 46,934mi, complained of same issues, audi of mv claimed there was nothing wrong. at 48,552mi, complained of burning smell coming from engine, rough idle and vibration. cam plug and injector were replaced. at 52,811mi, the entire engine was rocking back and forth (have video). circle audi of long beach replaced crank case & breather valve. engine vibration/hesitation/shuttering continued after this repair. at 55,600mi, the vehicle suddenly without warning attempted to change into a lower gear (or park) while driving at 70 mph on freeway. this major mechanical failure could have led to injury or death. vehicle was inoperable and towed to rusnak audi of westlake village, ca. the transmission was replaced for a second time, after less than 20,000mi. at 56,000mi, the car is now vibrating, shuttering, hesitating again (only 1,000mi on new transmission). it is displaying all of the same issues that led up to the major mechanical failure on the freeway. audi of mission viejo claims it is due to a leaking/cracked motor mount and improper transmission calibration. as you can see, the same issues have been occurring since time of purchase, and despite minor repairs, the transmission always fails. i believe the vehicle is irreparably flawed and unsafe. audi of mv has also been neglectful. audi of america (corporate) has been contacted. my request for a buyback due to the dangerous nature of this vehicle has been denied. | |||

| Since i bought my audi, i have had to put oil in it many times, and have been told this is normal for a turbo. i think that is crazy, and even an audi service man told me not all of the turbos do that. i have also had an issue with the car seeming to lose power and jerk about twice a month when i am usually around 70 mph. it's almost as if the ignition is turned off for 1 second, then it acts fine. this is very startling when it happens. *tr | |||

| I have had to replace many coilpacks and diverter valves over the past two years. several were covered under warranty, but as soon as i was out of warranty i had to start paying for them. they break far too often and are far too expensive to not be covered by audi. *tr | |||

| After leasing the car 2 months later i had to add oil to it. the engine burns oil like crazy. 1 quart of oil per month to month and a half. the engine oil warning light has come several times causing me to pull off the road into the closest gas station to buy some oil. depending of when it happens, this has been somewhat stressful. i have been told this is normal. i do not think so. if they had told me this, i would not have leased this car! *tr | |||
