2011 Audi A5 Problems

Earlier models were recalled for defective air bag modules. My 2011 A5 was not recalled but the air bag module failed in exactly the same way as earlier models. The modules were not upgraded and perhaps the newer models should be included in recall. I have an invoice for $1443.45 from the dealer. Thanks.

Audi has recalled a5 until 2009 for defective air bag modules, ie power supply. My 2011 has the same problem but not covered by recall. Why not? Very dangerous condition. Thank you.

WAS LEAVING HOUSE, CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY SO I DROVE BACK HOME, ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. HAVE BEEN WAITING LONG BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO HEAR BACK FROM AUDI ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION WARRANTY RECALL, CAR WAS UNDER 80K MI AT THE TIME I MADE REPORT, HAD ALREADY PAID FOR THE REQUIRED TESTS THEY NEEDED, TOOK THEM 4 MONTHS TO FINALLY GET BACK TO ME. RECEIVED SPECIAL CASE SINCE IT WAS A PRE OWNED VEHICLE & COULD NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SERVICE MAINTENANCE RECORDS SINCE I HAD JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE, NOT THE DEALERSHIP NOR AUDI HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WITH OBTAINING THAT INFORMATION. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT OR BUY BACK.

AUDI OF AMERICA ACKNOWLEDGED ON 2015 THAT 126,000 VEHICLES PRESENT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUDI OF SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO ON MAY 16, 2017 WHERE VARIOUS REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. DEALER INDICATED THAT OIL SERVICE NEEDED TO BE DONE PRIOR TO START OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PHASE 1(PCV VALVE) WHICH I AUTHORIZED. AFTER THIS, LOW OIL LIGHT TURNED ON WITHIN LESS THAN 900 MILES. ON JUNE 5TH, 2017 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM PHASE 2 OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DEALER DOCUMENTED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED 1.08 QT IN 1,000 MILES. HOWEVER, DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIR DUE TO TD1 FLAGGING BY AUDI OF AMERICA. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. I POINTED OUT THAT "AUDI OF AMERICA" DEFINES WARRANTY AS FOLLOWS "A GUARANTEE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL REPLACE ANY COMPONENT THAT FAILS AS A RESULT OF MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP". AUDI OF AMERICA IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S FAILURE REGARDING THE PISTON RINGS, NEVERTHELESS IS LOOKING INTO ANY EXCUSE TO NOT HONOR WHAT WAS AGREED IN THE OIL CONSUMPTION SETTLEMENT. PER 13-CV-02529-MMM-VBK "THE SERVICE ADJUSTMENT WAS NOT PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO ABUSE, ALTERATION OR MODIFICATION, A COLLISION OR CRASH, VANDALISM AND/OR OTHER IMPACT.' THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE CAME SINCE IT ROLLED OUT OF AUDI'S MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND VEHICLES MODIFICATIONS ARE NOT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AUDI PERFORMED THE VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS IN ONE OF THEIR PARTNER FACILITIES (GARAGE EUROPA) AS PART OF A SALES PROMOTION AT THE TIME IT WAS FIRST PURCHASED.

THIS VEHICLE WHEN I START IN THE MORNING FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS RUBBING ON THE WHEELS. IT MAYBE THE WHEEL BEARINGS. ALSO JUST LIKE THE OTHER AUDI OWNERS HAVE SAID THIS CAR CONSUMES AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL EVERY 800 TO A 1000 MILES OR SO. I DECIDED ON THIS VEHICLE BASED ON REPUTATION, I'VE HAD IT A YEAR AND I'M NOT HAPPY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS NORMAL. BUT I SEE ITS NOT. PLEASE HELP.

I WAS MOVING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION AND SAW AN ERROR FOR TPMS AND THEN AN ERROR CAME UP AS NO REVERSE GEAR AVAILABLE - YOU CAN COTNUE TO DRIVE. I CAN MOVE FORWARD NOT REVERSE AND THE GEARS MOVE IN ODD NUMBER FROM 1 -3-5 ETC. I BOUGHT THIS CERTFIED PREOWNED CAR OVER A WEEK AGO AND THIS ISSUE CAME UP. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS 37K M SO I DONT KNOW WHATS THE ISSUE

There was a fuel odor permeating in the vehicle, and the further I drove, the more intense was the gasoline smell. I pulled into a strip mall and turned off the engine for fear of a fire or explosion. I immediately called and requested the car be towed to my mechanic. My mechanic diagnosed the problem the next day as a cracked fuel pump housing. There were no warning lights at all. Given the location of the fuel pump, how does this dangerous incident happen?
