2016 Audi A4 Allroad Owner Complaints

Rear Suspension cross- member. Extensive corrosion hidden behind stone guard trapping dirt and moisture. I would not have known the rust was there if the stone guard had not come apart from the cross member I cannot trust the safety of this vehicle until it is repaired Audi requires a dealer inspection at the cost of the consumer. Audi Suspension cross member components are the same for many models. The Allroad should be included in the class action lawsuit.

INITIALLY MY FUEL PUMP BEGAN LEAKING FUEL. TWO WEEKS AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE NEW AUDI FACTORY FUEL PUMP BEGAN LEAKING AGAIN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED THE SECOND TIME, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL BEGAN LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL INJECTORS. THIS WAS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKING AND FALLING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND OTHER PARTS.

WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS ON MY AUDI IT TAKES A WHILE TO GO IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER IT ALSO HAS BEEN SHAKING REALLY BAD ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UP HILL. IT HAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN YOUR RIDING A BIKE ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION IN BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE FASTER I GO IN THE VEHICLE THE MORE IT SHAKES AND THE MORE I HEAR THE NOISE AS WELL. THERE IS NO LIGHT INDICATING THAT MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM BUT THERE DEFINITELY IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY AUDI AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT?
