Consumer bought this car at 30,040 miles. The car currently sits with 89,000 miles. I have had 18 recommended service visits totaling $19,240 and then on July 15, 2022 with no pre indicators or warnings the engine dies after a 95k full multipoint inspection that consumer had 3 weeks prior. The car has an impeccable Maintenace record. I did everything the dealer told me; and I still almost died on the 101 fwy going 70 mph on a conference call; the flashers didnt even work; the car dead and came to a hard halt and trucks were screeching around me with smoke coming from their tires because of the extreme hard stop and slamming on breaks, i was screaming for my life praying no one would slam into me. Metro who roams the fwy saved my life; without him i would be dead because of AUDI's HORRIBLY MANUFATCTURED VEHICLE. It seems as though the dealer purposefully sabotages my car as a woman; i have no alternative but to fix it and now they want $27,000 MORE for a new engine AND starter. so, in total; to drive 57,000 miles I've paid $37,000 cash for the car (I own the title)/ plus $19,240 in maintenance /repairs and now they want another 27,000 for the engine. i have no more money to give them. i recently returned my 3rd rental vehicle and i am out of funds on transportation.

Coolant leak from faulty water pump. This is a known issue from numerous models of Audis and has been the subject of recalls and extended warranty campaigns - but not on this particular model. I was forced to pay for the replacement of this known faulty part out of pocket.

The engine low oil light keeps coming on, the oil has been changed already, I-??ve had the car for more than 7 months I haven-??t even driven it over 5000 miles yet. Audi needs to fix this. The power train is also the same, some days it works okay and some days it doesn-??t. The cars struggles sometimes to even reach speeds up to 50 mph.I-??ve taken this vehicle to the Audi dealship as well as to a foreign certified mechanic shop. They can-??t figure out the problem. The engine light should not be coming on randomly when I have fully serviced the vehicle. Audi please fix these problems.

Check engine light came on in October 2020 car was slow to take off for several weeks and seemed to take time to shift gears. Took to Audi mechanic and had to replace water pump -w/thermostat housing & intake manifold. Now I'm April 2021 car is back in shop because it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear suddenly when I was driving with my daughter in the car, I pulled over in a parking lot to turn car off and then got an error message stating transmission malfunction cannot reverse and had to have the car towed to mechanic again. I'm told it needs mechatronic unit replaced, replace timing cover due to oil leak, evap leak and wiper fluid is leaking.

After recent car inspection due to recall for passenger occupant detection I was informed that water pump was leaking and it needs to be replaced. Vehicle has only 55 000 miles on it. Other Audi models appear to have the same issue and they have been recalled, however no recalls have been issued for Audi A3 2015. As a manufacturer Audi must take the responsibility for faulty parts and it should replace them on their own expense.

The water pump/thermostat housing is leaking coolant out of the engine. This occurs on nearly all mqb chassis VW/Audi's with the EA888 gen 3 2.0 tfsi engine. It is a widely known issue.
