Jan 2018115000 mi | car had oil consumption problem when we purchased it, previous owner did not disclose and it was 2k miles out of warranty. Audi would not extend or honor warranty outside of 80k. Seperate issue- car lost power going up hill. Mechanic said it was the timing chain (supposed to be lifetime). He said they are repairing at least one timing chain a week because they "stretch out" and then fail. When they fail you have to replace the entire engine. Parts and labor quoted by several shops 10k-12k depending on if purchase a used or new engine. We are going to walk away from the car. It was a pleasure to drive, beautiful, and we absolutely loved it. But we have a hard time with a company and/or product that has major defects and consumers are not told about it or have to pay for major design flaws. The car was a ticking time bomb. |

Mar 201015000 mi | Trunk side panel would not stay latched closed, upon delivery when new. Dealer ordered part and I waited until the 15k service to have it replaced. Work successful. 6 speed manual transmission has developed a 'notch' when shifting into second gear. Mechanic was able to duplicate issue and attempted repair. Adjusted shift linkage which was out of spec - improved but not good enough yet. HVAC smells like mold or mildew when the AC button is active. Dealer replaced filter as part of 15k service and hoped this would fix. Offered to deodorize the system but not under warranty. Disappointing as this has happened since ~ 5k miles. B&O Speakers in the front doors rattle when listening to Sirius talk radio, particularly male voices. Easy to duplicate but dealer claimed they were unable to do so. I'll revisit them in person to demonstrate the issue. | ||
