I'm being told by Audi that there will never be a fix for this vehicle due to the limited edition of this vehicle. We owe $32,000 on this still, so this isn't fair! We need compensation and can't use this to drive as a family vehicle, or a work vehicle! The takata airbags are…

Common questions
Is the 2007 Audi RS 4 reliable?
Limited NHTSA data. Only 4 owner complaints have been filed for the 2007 Audi RS 4, which is not enough for a meaningful reliability score. Active recalls (if any) are listed on this page and remain authoritative — those are verified defects regardless of complaint volume. For a confident reliability read we look for at least 10 owner complaints in the federal database.
Should you avoid the 2007 Audi RS 4?
Only 4 NHTSA complaints on file — too few for a confident call. The 2 active recalls above remain authoritative; read those first. We don't issue a buy/avoid verdict on the 2007 Audi RS 4 without a meaningful complaint sample — doing so off a handful of filings would be guesswork.
What should I check before buying a used 2007 Audi RS 4?
There isn't enough NHTSA complaint data on the 2007 Audi RS 4 to flag a standout failure pattern. Run the VIN for open recalls — those are free to fix regardless of warranty — get a standard pre-purchase inspection, and ask the seller for service records.
Is the 2007 Audi RS 4 a good used car to buy?
Hard to say from federal data alone — only 4 owner complaints have been filed. Lean on the recall list above, a pre-purchase inspection, and a vehicle-history report on the specific VIN. Our data tells you what the model is known for; a history report tells you what that exact car has been through.
What's the most common problem on the 2007 Audi RS 4?
No problem area has crossed our reporting threshold yet, which is a good sign for this vehicle.
What's the most expensive thing that goes wrong?
Major repair items haven't been flagged often enough on this vehicle to single one out.
How do I check if my Audi RS 4 has open recalls?
Paste your VIN into the decoder at the top of this page. We pull live from NHTSA, so you'll see exactly which campaigns apply to your vehicle and whether the dealer has logged the fix. Recall repairs are always free regardless of mileage or warranty status.
Is an extended warranty worth it on a 2007 Audi RS 4?
Hard to say from NHTSA data alone with only 4 complaints on file. A quality service contract runs $1,800–3,500 over 3 years. The decision comes down to your specific situation: vehicle cost, miles on it, how long you plan to keep it, and whether you can absorb a $3K–$8K repair without straining cashflow. With limited public data on this vehicle, lean on the recall list above and check owner forums before committing.
