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

I have a 2011 Audi a4 2.0t that continues to consume oil which lead to a major engine malfunction @ 25k; 26k & now @36k the engine seized on the highway nearly causing an accident on the highway as of 10/31/13 I have over a years worth of investigation notes about Audi's procedures to dealing with customers. Using myself as test subject to endure the misdirection and lies to perpetuate this cover-up there are over 1000 complaints documented for this oil consumption issue which can lead to your engine seizing up at high speeds. Http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/Audi-a4/t532rvb94d9dr4ei0/p7 Audi of america refuses to handle this dangers defect in their Audi 2.0t engine because of the obvious cost associated with another recall for the Audi a4 model 2009-2012.

The engine would stop running while driving on a street and the freeway, everything else is on. Happened today 10/24/16 and three times within 10 minutes. Restarted car and drove home. Check engine light came on. This happened before on the freeway. *tr

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.

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.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 Audi a4. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the engine stalled as the oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted. The contact also stated that the vehicle consumed excessive oil continuously. The failure recurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the vehicle was performing as it was designed and a leak was present. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000. The VIN was unavailable.

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 airpor

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 b

Hi, I have a Audi a4 2011. I am a traveling man that only uses the car on the weekends. One day when I started the car in the morning I heard a rattle noise, turned out to be I had no a/c so the it was clear my a/c compressor died. I went to the Audi since they know they made bad a/c compressors and a lot of angry customers but since no recall has been made yet they said I have to assume a $2000 on repair my self. I think this is not fair for us customers to pay for something they know is defective. Please help.

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. Th

Vehicle shuts off while driving for no apparent reason, has happened (at least 6 times) at speeds of 5mph to 65mph (most recent instance, on may 31, 2016). Very scary and dangerous. Random event. Car will restart and run fine for days to months. Fuel pump was replaced but not the problem. Dealer unable to dx due to intermittent nature.

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"

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 Audi a4. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH on an incline the clutch failed in sixth gear. The contact down shift the clutch and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic. The mechanic stated that the clutch was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer suggested that the contact have the vehicle towed to a dealer. The contact towed the vehicle to the dealer where they were waiting on a response from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 30,000.

I have had two instances of "sudden clutch failure", the first at 4,800 miles, the second at 31,000 miles. I was traveling on I-80 when suddenly the clutch started slipping and then burned out, leaving me stranded on the shoulder. According to Audi of oakland, the clutch failure has resulted in the clutch being in a "molten state" and the heat was so extreme that the clutch release bearing is fused to the transmission shaft. I have inspected the parts and have photos from that inspection. Audi of america repaired the clutch at their own expense after the first instance, but is denying any responsibility for this second occurrence. I have been driving standard shift Volkswagen's and audio's for 40 years and have never needed to replace a clutch before these two instances.

Car was parked outside our apartment building. It was off and hadn't been driven in over 20hrs. At 11am a fire broke out in the rear driver side seat. Fire department arrived put out the fire, said it was not arson but rather electrical issue. The car front dash was partially melted, rear seat big char black seating material and showed exposed wires.

"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 c

While driving on i75 in florida at 70 MPH on june 18, 2017, the steering suddenly failed. I managed to keep control and get the car home with strong physical effort in keeping the steering straight.

The car only had 42, 800 miles and has been maintained by Audi by the book since I bought it new from Audi.
