This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Audi claims that transmission fluid and filter never needs to be changed, this is not only incorrect, but this also causes transmission problems on a regular basis. This should not be told to the customer for it is a lie just so the customer has constant transmission problems while Audi racks in the money. It is a scam and it should be eliminated from potential and existing Audi customers. No oil was ever made not to break down and not ever be changed. A new Audi owner usually listens to the dealership about their cars, and usually don't change the fluids or filters, hence transmission break downs and expensive repairs. Scam
Have had nothing but problems with the Audi A6 since inception. Car started making a horrible noise that sounds like it is coming from engine or transmission. Car cannot pass emissions. Engine smoking fluid is pouring out of front of transmission. The car dealer: Nalley Audi in roswell, Georgia. The car dealer nalley Audi fraudulently took money from me and never repaired vehicle.
1999 Audi A6 avant with serious safety issues. Consumer would like Audi to pay for the last 4 repairs that needed to be done. Consumer has had some serious safety issues with this vehicle and states that it is a lemon. There was a rumbling noise coming from the engine, there was an oil leak coming from the engine, the engine light illuminated due to a bad pipe, the front rotors and pads were replaced, the transmission was leaking, the back wheels were dragging so the pads would not release, the brake and ABS light illuminated, the cruise control was inoperative, T he sunroof was inoperative, the tie rods needed to be replaced, the timing belt, water pump, gasket oil cooler and serpentine belt were all replaced.
1999 Audi A-6 quattro, tie rod end replaced. Tie rod recall was done when the vehicle had 13187 miles on it. At 60806 the tie rods had to be replaced again. The transmission leaked.
Audi A6 (2.8L) throttle was frozen open at 70 miles per hour, only way to stop was to "stand on" the brakes. Shut the car off and it was ok. Called the dealer and was told there was a recall on the throttle sticking at cold temp (temp this day was 3F). Told me they could not fix it right away, but to bring it in a couple of days. I have no record of receiving this recall. I looked on the internet and did find it. I thought you would like to record this occurrence for your records.
