Takata recall I received a notice in february 2016 regarding the recall but as of today october 21 I still have not received the repair notice. I have called numerous Audi dealers as well as the Audi worldwide number who told me they do not have parts and are waiting. I asked when they expect to get parts and they did not know at all. I contacted NHTSA and I was told they did not know when parts would be received by Audi neither. All they could tell me was living in ca I was in zone b and the next on this list after the higher priority high humidity areas. Due to the sheer number of recalls this could mean we may not get parts for years if something isn't done to improve production frequency, produce high quality airbags and make it available to the customers who have a recall notice.

I bought the car used and within the first month of purchase and to start putting an additional 1qt of oil on every 1000 miles...now few mints later I have to do that more often on every 500miles... And recently I had to add cooling and now this has been an new issue... My mechanic told me this is a common issue for my car and he is surprised Audi hasn't done a recall on it. My car is under 90k and may require an engine change for over $3-4k. That's not right!

While driving on the interstate my car stalled nearly coming to a complete stop, the engine light came on and I was smelling gasoline so I had to bring it to the nearest mechanic and there it was diagnosed as a fuel injector leaking with multiple cylinder misfire detected. As there is an extended warranty under Audi for faulty fuel injectors, I took the car to Audi to have the manufacturer defected fuel injector replaced under warranty. However, the original mechanic cleared the code from my car's system which caused the engine light to turn off. Because the fault code was cleared by the independent mechanic, Audi is refusing to fix the faulty fuel injector under warranty even though I have documentation with the fault codes that shows the fuel injector was leaking and the reason my car st

Audi a5 - 2010 models. These cars come with faulty lower control arms and bushings which results in shaking in driving from 60mph to 70mph. I just bought a brand new car yesterday to be exact, the entire drive home the car shook violently, this type of shaking can and will cause accidents, a full failure of control arms will result in death. Audi has not conducted a mass recall as of yet, I believe they are waiting for a few deaths and a mass protests and intervention from federal government before doing something.

When there is significant moisture in the air the turn signals do not work properly. An intended right turn signal will cause the left signal to fire instead, but it will also erratically fire the right turn signal. The issue tends to reduce in frequency the longer the car is running. I read on an Audi owners forum that the blinker switch is affected by high moisture and causes this issue in 2008-2010 models.

The tire tread separated completely from the sidewalls, on both sides. There was no indication of any issues, low pressure, pulling etc. I was driving on the highway, car driving normal. I started to hear a pulsating vibration sound like a wheel bearing. I let off the gas to slow down a bit and listen, then there was some loud noises, I pulled over to find the tread had separated completely all the way around.

2010 Audi a5 - the steering wheel shakes violently causing car to shift from lanes and drive to lose control. The vehicle is unstable to drive due to poorly manufactured control arms and the dealer/manufacture refuses to repair the problem. The issue has been raised since purchase of the vehicle on multiple occasions to two different dealers. Neither Audi nor the dealerships both aware of the problem refuse to fix it despite being under warranty and demand money for repairs which should be covered under warranty and are a significant threat to driver and passenger safety. If control arms break or shaking in the steering wheel cause the vehicle to crash or go off road death or other injuries may occur. *tr
