2014 Audi S8 owner complaints

Turbochargers can failure with no warning while driving which is a severe safety hazard

I already filed complaint 11218674. This is adding detail. Audi has issued tsb 2044640/5 (https://static.NHTSA.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10153123-9999.pdf) to address the damage when this very known issue occurs. The problem identified in the tsb is that original parts require replacement (oil screen and check value). Significantly, the original oil screen has been re-designed to prevent the catastrophic engine failure. This engine failure can create an extremely hazardous safety issue for all vehicle occupants when this problem arises. There is no warning for when this issue will manifest. For some it happens at speed on freeways. For others it happens in intersections. Due to zero warning to alert the driver to get off the road, this known condition of oil supply failure to the turbo put

Faulty "oil screen" design has caused turbos to fail and other related components. Audi has known about the issue because there was an updated screen made to replace the old design in new cars.

During our recent rains i discovered water dripping on me from the center overhead console at the top of the windshield. This totally distracted me while driving as I was shocked by it's sudden occurrence. The next day, I suspected sunroof drains and proceeded to chase a flexible line thru them in the front drains and tested with water, it drained fine and no evidence of dripping inside.
