Tl* the contact owns a 2013 Audi a5. The contact stated that the recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 18v229000 (engine) was received in june of 2018.

In sep 2016 my 2013 Audi a5 started smoking and overheating while driving on the freeway. I drove my car home and searched for a reputable auto shop in my city that I drove my car to. My vehicle was analyzed and inspected to find out that the coolant/waterpump needed to be replaced, which my car was no longer under warranty. At this moment I just left my car at this auto repair shop as it was my only vehicle and needed repaired asap. Within the last year and very recently their have been many recalls relative to overheating coolant/water pump issues causing overheating and possibly set on fire. I had it repaired at the auto shop, which costed me nearly $1200! I found this absurd as my vehicle was only 3.5 years old with an overheating problem. Is there any way I can get this rese

Audi safety recall 19n4 continues to not be available. Received first notice for recall in june 2018. States there is a safety issue with after run coolant pump. States that this defect may cause a fire even if car is not turned on and recommends to park the vehicle outside as a precaution. This sounds very dangerous. Today, september 4, 2018, the dealer informed me that the fix for the defect is still not available and there is no date. I am concerned about driving this car and parking it in or near the house.

Couple years ago my engine failed, it was recalled and company refused to pay for it.

It was no shoulder and I stopped on the highway. I was lucky I didn’t get rear ended n killed

There is an intermittant fault with the intake manifold change over flap, it's sticking. Replacement would be $1311.56 before tax. It appears to be working ok now, but it could fail in the near future.

NHTSA recall 17v-002 cooling pump overheating. On friday may 26, 2017 on are about 0645 I received a call from the base police stating that my car was on fire in the parking lot. I had been at work since 0600 there were no indications of any problems while driving to work no dashboard lights were on my car was due for oil change 71222.

While approaching a turn I slowed down , another car came around the right side. My car wasn't resoonding I wasn't able to bear right around curve and went across road and up hill. Approaching hill felt like I didn't have power steering, I took 2 hands and grabbed the steering wheel and forced myself to go down , brakes seemed useless.. Car went down hill. I put foot on my brake because I was in head on traffic on a small back road. I then put car in reverses, it jerked back to straighten car up, and straighten up car- drove up to light shaken up, pulled over to shoulder - no shoulder the back road at it was about 10 pm weeknight... I looked at the drivers front end that made contact and it looked ok- just scrapes... I drove home and woke up to flat tires in am. I took my car to Audi turn

While turning the steering wheel, there are spots that seem to stick around the 11 and 1 o clock marks. This problem comes and goes, independent of speed. Now the car seems to have trouble correcting out of a turn and must be manually turned back to center. The problems seem to be getting worse.

About 3 weeks ago I noticed the beginning of a steering problem. I first noticed that the wheel seemed to require more than normal force to turn, especially in about the 10 and 2 o’clock position. It would behave pretty normally most of the time, but then, unpredictably, this would happen. Now it seems to be pretty constant. The steering wheel now requires much more force than usual, but only when in certain positions. Otherwise, everything appears normal. A couple of days ago I needed to try an evasive maneuver, which required sudden, hard steering. However, the response of the car was not what I expected under similar conditions with other Audi’s I own. This is an obvious safety concern. There appears to be a repair bulletin by Audi, but only Audis that are still under warranty will be f

The sunroof exploded. I was driving and heard a loud noise. I look around because it sounded like a tire blowout. I continued to drive, and once I reached my destination, stopped and opened the door to exit the vehicle, I heard a loud pop like a gun shot. Immediately glass flew everywhere. I was located in the parking lot of picadilly restaurant when the explosion occurred.

I just had my fuel door actuator replaced on my 2013 Audi a5 with less than 44,500 miles on it in september 2018. I am having a very difficult time understanding why my fuel door actuator needed to be replace with so low mileage. The car has a range of 455 miles after a fill up the part cost $405.85 including a shipping charge. This means it cost me $4.17 to open and close the lid after a fill up. My argument is that the part was defective and it should be replaced for free. I sent the part back to Audi for review. Audi decline to accept responsiblity for the defective part. However, I am not finish with this case. I sent and email to the ceo of Volkswagen in north america and germany in regard to this issue. I am waiting for a reply I would like to know if other people having the same pr

I have just become aware, on my own accord, that the used 2013 Audi a5 I purchased has a safety recall issued october of this year. I need to be advised on what course of action needs to be taken from this point. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The sun visor on my a5 has very little spring tension that allows it to freely move back and forth. I need to have it clipped when accelerating otherwise it will hit me in the face or hold it while making left turns (when positioned by the driver's window ' there is no clip there) to prevent it from striking me in the side of my head. This presents a distraction and possible safety issue. The sun visor clip's durability is also questionable since it has already been replaced at least 2 times. I have made repeated visits to the dealer about this issue and they have deemed it operating as intended. I have even written Audi about it and they have also refused to address the issue.

Going down hill, accelerating, red light, apply brakes, hard, engine revs up trying to over power brakes, barely stops, but engine keeps on creeping car forward into traffic, move shifter to park and reverse twice, engine slows down but accelerates again when back in drive, light changes, drive away with no problems.

I was having an issue with my 2013 Audi A5 starting. A call to roadside assistance was able to jump my battery and the car would start and run. However, the same issue kept happening. The EPC warning light would come on and it took a few weeks to get scheduled with a mechanic. I purchased a mobile jump starter myself because I never knew when the car would or wouldn't start. After taking the car to Audi, they found the "transmission coolant valve failing internally causing coolant to migrate up connector - this is causing a short which is draining the battery. If not fixed it will continue to deplete the batter. Recommend replacing valve and and connector".
