IT APPEARS THAT DUE TO A MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING DEFECT, THE TIMING CHAIN ON CERTAIN AUDI AND VOLKSWAGEN MODELS FAILS AFTER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF MILES. THIS TIMING CHAIN FAILURE HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE, IN MANY CASES REQUIRING A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. REGRETTABLY, THIS IS WHAT RECENTLY HAPPENED WITH MY 2011 AUDI A4. IN FACT, THERE WAS A FAIRLY HIGH-PROFILE CLASS ACTION FILED AGAINST VOLKSWAGEN (CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-2765 (JLL)(JAD) THAT WAS RECENTLY SETTLED. (SEE HTTPS://TIMINGCHAINLITIGATION.COM/HOME/FAQ#FAQ6). UNFORTUNATELY, THE SETTLEMENT IS EXTREMELY FLAWED AND LEAVES VEHICLE OWNERS INADEQUATELY COMPENSATED IF THEIR VEHICLES ARE ABOVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF MILES OR IF THE OWNERS MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR FILING CLAIMS. THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE CONSTITUTES A SIGNIFICANT AND DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING FLAW THAT SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE ENGINE FAILURE THAT CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE CAN EASILY LEAD TO AUTO ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES. I URGE THE DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION TO TAKE THIS MATTER VERY SERIOUSLY AND INVESTIGATE. A FULL RECALL AND COMPENSATION TO AFFECTED VEHICLE OWNERS SHOULD BE ORDERED.

MY VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL FASTER THAN NORMAL. I HAVE SINCE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE OIL CHANGES WERE DUE TO TOP OFF OIL DO TO SEVERAL LIGHTS COMING ON: "MIN OIL", "OIL PRESSURE TOO LOW". I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS EACH YEAR AS WELL AS PARTS REPLACED: PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE, CRANKSHAFT DAMPER AND SEAL. HAD A 40 POINT INSPECTION IN 2014 AT 44K MILES AND IN 2015 REQUESTED A MULTI INSPECTION AT 55K MILES. I HAD SEVERAL OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AROUND THESES DATES: 3/714, 5/7/15, 11/12/15. AFTER THEY CHANGED OUT PARTS I HAD TO CHANGE 4 FUEL INJECTORS IN 2016. TO FAST FORWARD I HAD ALL OIL CHANGES ON TIME AND HAD TO ADD OIL SEVERAL TIMES IN-BETWEEN SERVICES. ON JAN 11, 2019 I HAD ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, THEY REPLACED MY OIL SENSORS AND BREAKS. 4 MONTHS LATER MY "LOW OIL LIGHT" KEPT POPPING UP WHEN I WOULD TURN. AFTER CHECKING THE OLD 4 TIMES IT KEPT READING 3/4 FULL OF OIL. AFTER I FELT THE CAR RUNNING STRANGE I PULLED OVER TO BUY OIL AND AT THIS POINT I CHECKED AND IT WAS BONE DRY. I PUT A QUART IN AND AT THIS POINT THE CAR WONT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUDI DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND A NEW TIMING SENSOR. THEY SAID THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THE TIMING BELT HAD DONE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO NEED TOTAL REPLACEMENT. YET NEVER SPOKE ABOUT WHY THE OIL SENSORS KEPT GIVING THE WRONG READING. SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY CAR FROM AUG 2013 IT HAS BURNED MORE OIL THAN I WANT TO BELIEVE WHICH MAKES THIS CAR BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE AIR QUALITY.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CAUSING UNSAFE INSTABILITY ON FREEWAYS. INTERMITTENTLY THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BUT SOON AFTER THIS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST COMES BACK ON AND HENCE TURNING THE STEERING MORE THAN REQUIRED AND ENDING UP IN AN UNSAFE POSITION OR SWERVING ON FREEWAYS AND EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND CAN HAPPEN AT ANY MILEAGE WITH REPORTS OUT THERE ON CARS WITH LESS THAN 5K MILES. AUDI SHOULD HAVE A TSB AND RECALL FOR THIS.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER THREE WEEKS AGO. 200 MILES INTO DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR AN INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE PASSED INSPECTION, BUT THE MECHANIC NOTED VERY LITTLE OIL IN THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE NEXT OIL CHANGE WASN'T FOR 4,000 MILES. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE 600 MORE MILES, THE CAR INDICATED LOW OIL AGAIN. IN 2015, AUDI LOST A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS ISSUE. IN THE SERVICE RECORDS, THIS VEHICLE UNDERWENT THE FIRST STAGE OF REPAIRS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IN JAN 2017, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION GRANTED BY THE LAWSUIT. THE REPAIRS DID NOT WORK. AUDI HAS CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS THE ISSUE MOST LIKELY AFFECTING MY VEHICLE, AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER IT. MY VEHICLE IS BELOW THE MILEAGE SPECIFIED UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT HAS MISSED THE YEAR SPECIFIED BY LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. THIS MEANS THAT AUDI KNOWINGLY AUCTIONED A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WITHOUT FULFILLING THEIR WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS AND DECEPTIVELY PASSED THOSE OBLIGATIONS ON TO INDEPENDENT DEALERS, KNOWING THAT THE ISSUE WOULDN'T BE UNCOVERED IN AN INSPECTION. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT AUDI TO RESOLVE THIS AMICABLY, BUT THEY WONT GRANT AN EXCEPTION. THEY TOLD ME TO JUST KEEP PUTTING OIL IN THE CAR, BUT THE OIL BURNS AT SUCH A RAPID PACE, I WILL HAVE TO ADD NEW OIL EVERY 2 TANKS OF GAS. THIS WILL RESULT IN THOUSANDS OF EXTRA DOLLARS SPENT A YEAR. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM IS CLAIMING THAT THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE, BUT I SUSPECT THAT BOTH PARTIES WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE DECIDED TO PASS ON THE BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER. ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS FOR THEM TO CORRECT AN ISSUE THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF AND HAD ATTEMPTED TO FIX. THE WARRANTY MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED BY LESS THAN 3 MONTHS, BUT THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED PRIOR TO THAT. OTHERWISE, I WILL NEED TO SPEND $4,000+ TO HAVE THIS REPAIR.

HELLO. THIS MODEL OF AUDI A4 2.0T 2011 HASE A BIG PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH I THINK IS A THING THAT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK IN TO. FOR EXAMPLE : I DRIVE THE CAR 500 MILES AND THE OIL LIGHT COMES UP AND IS ASKING FOR 1QT OF OIL WHICH I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL . IVE CHANGE THE OIL IN OCTOBER AND IN 2 MONTHS DECEMBER I USE 5QT OF OIL TO REFILL OR TO ADD ON BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT WAS TURNING ON . IVE TOOK THE CAR TO AUDI AND DID A FULL INSPECTION TO SEE IF I'M LOSING ANY OIL ANYWHERE AND THE RESULT WAS NEGATIVE. I'VE HERD THAT MY MODEL AUDI A4 2.0T 2011 HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PISTONS RINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND BECAUSE OF THAT HE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS VERY HIGH. BUT JUST ON SOME AUDI A4 2.0T 2011 MODELS NOT ALL . I THINK AND I CAN PROVE THAT MY CARE HAS THIS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECCAL BECAUSE THE OIL GOES IN THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE AIR WHICH IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR THE QUALITY OF THE OXYGEN . I'M NOT SAYING THAT ONLY MY CAR BUT IF YOU GOOGLE MY MODEL YOU WILL BE SHOCKED OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION ON AUDI A4 2.0T 2011

THIS PAST SUNDAY, MY AUDI SELF-ACCELERATED IN BUSY TRAFFIC. ONLY BECAUSE I DRIVE A MANUAL WAS I ABLE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED FROM SACRAMENTO CA TO AUDI OAKLAND. THEY DIAGNOSED IT SAYING THE PISTON BLEW THREW THE ENGINE, DEPRESSURIZING THE ENGINE. THEY CLAIM THE DON'T KNOW WHY AND HAVE FAILED TO CONTACT ME SINCE. I HAD TO CONTACT AUDI USA WHICH HASN'T BEEN RESPONSIVE. THIS WAS A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THREE BOYS. NONETHELESS, AUDI OAKLAND--AND I HAD TO CALL THEM!--JUST TOLD ME ITS MY PROBLEM AND I NEED TO PAY $16K FOR A NEW ENGINE. THEY TOLD ME THIS IS AN ODD OCCURRENCE AND SINCE THERE'S NO WARRANTY, ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2011 AUDI A4. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2013. IT WAS OKAY WITH OIL FOR A YEAR BUT AFTER THAT I NOTICED IT WOULD NEED OIL MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME IT NEEDED OIL, WHICH WAS AROUND 900 MILES DRIVEN, AND THE DEALER TOLD US IT WAS NORMAL. AS OF TODAY I AM PUTTING ONE QUART OF ENGINE OIL EVERY 500 CITY MILES. I THINK IT IS USING WAY TOO MUCH OIL

TIMING BELT TENSIONER FAILING AT UNDER 70K MILES BUT AUDI SUGGESTS THAT NO NEED TO PERFORM ANY TIMING BELT RELATED WORK BEFORE 120K MILES. THIS CAUSES CATASTROPHIC FAILURE ON THE ENGINE AND ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWSUITS AND COMPLAINTS IN SEVERAL STATES. I WANTED TO OFFICIALLY START THIS COMPLAIN AND I'M IN MISSOURI. THESE TENSIONERS AND CHAINS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM SINCE VOLKSWAGEN KNEW THESE COMPONENTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD CAUSE PREMATURE AND OFTEN UNANNOUNCED EXPENSIVE ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY THE SUBSEQUENT REVISIONS TO THE TENSIONER AND CHAIN PERFORMED IN LATE 2011 IN AN EFFORT TO CORRECT THE ORIGINAL DEFECTS.

"DIPPED RIGHT HEADLIGHT" WARNING POPPED UP ON MY CAR, ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS. MY RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT WOULD WORK ONE DAY AND THEN "FAIL" THE NEXT. IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL IT FINALLY COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. MY BALLAST FAILED WHICH CAUSED HID/XENON LIGHT TO BURN OUT ON FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT. I HAVE READ THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT WITH THE HID/XENON LIGHT SYSTEMS AND THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS. WHEN SPEAKING TO AUDI, THEY SAID THIS HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE AND THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. I WOULD FEEL A FRONT HEADLIGHT IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY TOOL TO HAVE WHEN DRIVING, AND HAVING TO PAY $700+ FOR A HEADLIGHT REPAIR IS NOT NORMAL IN MY OPINION. FOR ME THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND AUDI SHOULD BE ASSISTING WITH THE REPAIR COSTS.

FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT 10852082. ONCE AGAIN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING, THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF MULTIPLE LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THE DEFECT WAS NOT IDENTIFIED BY THE DEALER. THIS TIME, AS I BROUGHT THE CAR IN RIGHT AWAY, THE COMPUTER DETECTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO FAULTY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUITS. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND HOPEFULLY MY CAR WILL NOW BE FINE. SO HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS. IS THIS REALLY WHAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CEASE FUNCTIONING THREE TIMES? IF SO, HOW MANY OF THESE FAULTY CPS SENSORS ARE OUT THERE? IT IS JUST A FLUKE OR DO THEY WEAR OUT OR IS IT A BAD BATCH? SHOULD THERE BE A SENSOR THAT WILL STOP ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING? THIS LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO FORT LAUDERDALE AIRPORT WHERE ABOUT 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC COMES AROUND A CURVE AND DECELERATES FROM 55MPH TO 25 AS CARS APPROACH THE TERMINALS AND PARKING. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 GOING DOWN TO 15 BUT PEOPLE ARE MOVING PRETTY FAST. I WRESTLED THE CAR OVER AS OTHER CARS WERE STRUGGLING TO AVOID ME. ONCE I HAD THE CAR STOPPED, I REMOVED THE ELECTRONIC KEY, REINSERTED AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP FINE.
