Driving at speed limit on us highway in heavy traffic in the near northern suburbs of chicago, experienced sudden loss of power. Vehicle began running very rough and eventually stalled in left lane. Sudden lack of power, stall and unanticipated loss of speed nearly caused accident and did cause major traffic back up. Vehicle was towed to local shop. Diagnosis determined cause of sudden power loss was damaged turbochargers (x2). Turbo impeller bearings were completely destroyed due to lubrication starvation, which caused disintegration of turbocharger impellers. Shop indicated this is a known problem with the Audi (vag) 4.0 twin turbo v-8 engines. Supporting this notion, the dealer had the turbos and associated repair parts in stock (over $6,000 of parts). Vehicle is meticulously mai

FAILURE BOTH TURBOS Purchased Audi Naples Jan 2018 Maintained at Audi Ft Myers Audi While on a vacation from our home in Florida to New England our Audi A8 experienced a major turbo failure while on an Interstate highway. On 8/6/21 I was traveling in the middle lane of I495 at 65 mph, when traffic slowed, the car stalled. With cars passing me on both sides I eventually managed to get the car started and made it to exit 15 (rt44) going toward Plymouth, MA. This truly was a scary situation, waiting to be rear ended. While on rt 44 it died again in traffic. I managed to make it into the breakdown lane. At about 2:55 pm a state Trooper stopped and asked if he could help me get to a safer spot but by that time I had called AAA. At 3:30pm AAA arrived and towed us to a safe spot. At no time befo

In March of 2022, a safety recall number 21H7, was issued for my 2013 Audi A8L regarding the oil strainer which could clog and result in the turbocharger failing and subsequent consequences. I have contacted my Audi dealer numerous times since first receiving written notification with the most recent contact being today October 31. The dealer says they still don’t have the necessary parts and even though there is still supply chain issues internationally, quite enough time has passed and when I reached out to Audi USA, they said parts have been available since August! I have not had any issues yet in driving the car but still feel reluctant to do so and would like this fixed asap. Thank you.

The pcv oil separator has failed and is making a whistling sound. From researching this issue it is widely known and an investigation shows it is caused in relation to a recall for the oil strainer that was done on this vehicle. I called audi dealership and they said this is not an open recall, however it seems this is exactly what caused it.

I was trailing my wife and children home one evening when the car began to stall on her at an intersection. I signaled for her to pull into a nearby gas station so I could take a closer look at the car. As the idling got rougher, it finally stalled out completely and would not restart. We had it towed to a local dealer, where they incorrectly diagnosed the car and said it needed a crankcase ventilation valve. I was called and told that the car had been repaired $3,500 later. When I arrived, the car still had the same symptoms. I refused to drive the car home in the current condition even though Audi said the car was safe to drive. They rediagnosed the car and said the turbos were going out and needed to be replaced. Clearly, this is a manufacturer's defect that's eventually going to get so

Manufacturer Recall Number21H7 NHTSA Recall Number22V178 This recall was issued in May 2022. I emailed Audi USA, who advised me that they do not have a repair they can implement to address this recall. This is surprising because, according to an Audi enthusiast website, repairs under this recall are being made in the United Kingdom. See pdf attached. Why is Audi telling me they cannot repair my car when they seem to be doing just that in other countries? It appears that this is not a complicated repair and seems to involve only replacing a mesh oil strainer.

While driving on I-20 in texas the epc light came on, engine power decreased noticeably. Limped off I-20 to an exit. When I stopped at the stoplight at end of ramp, engine quit. I tried several times to restart. Nothing but sputtering. Fortunately, I found that slight pressure on the accelerator while cranking would start engine. Engine would not run below 1000 RPM. Very dangerous having to keep engine running while navigating city streets. This engine has had a series of recalls, including an oil separator failure. Audi tsb, attached, finds an oil sieve responsible for starving the turbochargers causing my vehicle to fail without warning on the freeway at 62,000 miles. I have kept the failed parts including both turbochargers, one wobbling and the other completely separated o

Driving with my 3 kids on the highway, the car lost power and stalled. Wouldn't start. After research, found out I was the next in a long line of folks with a 4.0t engine turbo failure. Audi has a tsb https://static.NHTSA.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10153123-9999.pdf but the issue stems from faulty engineering of an oil strainer. Car has full dealer maintained service records. Bought the car used from a dealer. Failed less than 500 miles after purchase. Mileage is 82000. Please help hold Audi accountable for a known safety issue affecting all cars with the 4.0t.

My vehlice was in motion approaching a stop light. The vehicle stalled and I lost the ability to steer and brake pressue was lost. Fortunately, I was going slow enough to engage the electronic parking brake to bring the car to the stop. The car then would not restart without giving it hard gas. It would die within a minute or two. After towing to the dealership, I was told both my turbos had failed and would need to be replaced. My car only has 52,000 miles. This is a major failure for a vehicle with so few miles. In addition, Audi has issued a tsb acknlowledging the issue. I am just fortunate it happened for me at such low speeds. I can't imagine being on the highway when this happened.

Vehicle windshield started leaking from top and visibly moves when pressed from outside. This is the original windshield, never in an accident.

While traveling on Interstate 65 through Nashville, TN my 2013 Audi A8L showed an EPC light alert then <5 miles later while traveling through interstate split going 20mph the car without alert shut down and I lost power steering, brake control, accelerator control, electric control and was forced to navigate hazardously across 3 lanes of traffic to a modified left side median.

I stayed in the car because much too dangerous to leave the vehicle and was able for a brief minute to restart and get off an exit ramp where it abruptly died again.

There is an open recall: 16V619000 Which applies to a set of VIN numbers. This same issue happened on my vehicle and my VIN is not part of the recall.

Audi, A8L 2013, also has the stuck piston. Rings end oil blow by like the other Volkswagen, defected engines of the same year yesterday while driving my car ended up stalling on a road with traffic behind me going up a hill because too much oil I'd burnt in the cylinders, causing the spark plugs to become completely coated in oil and the cars. Electronic system registered multiple misfires, multiple cylinders. Are misfired and multiple other safety epc codes, causing the vehicle to not be able to drive more than 5 miles an hour, stuttering. Which also caused the engine to almost stall, losing power steering. If this was on the highway this could have been exceptionally bad. I request the Audi AH. L and 8 series to be added to the current recall. For the A6Q5A4 A seven with the exact same p
