| 01/11/2013 | 43014 | 1 | |
| Car brought in for misfire condition that resulted in power reduction/hesitation while driving. dealer detected faulty injector. replaced injector and engine was still malfunctioning. dealer then removed cylinder and observed piston ringland damage. vehicle was starting to exhibit excessive oil consumption problems. either faulty injector or piston ring defect is suspected to cause damage. looking into remedies through arbitration or other means as audi is aware about (i.e. undersized rings / pistons). i will retain all suspect parts as audi will not honor under warranty terms and independent shop will be performing repairs, and can be made available for further investigation. excessive oil consumption is a known issue with audi usa. the manual states that normal consumption is up to 1 quart for every 1000 miles. per audi's recommendations, you will burn 10 quarts of oil before you need an oil change. that engine holds 5 quarts when not leaking it through rings, reducing anti-knock rating of fuel during combustion. i believe this a significant safety hazard as engine seizing could unexpectedly occur due to defective components. i believe a class action lawsuit is inevitable. *tr | |||
