At 81,000 miles, my Audi $50K Audi A6 needs a new engine. This is from a known defect in the piston rings. The car burns through a quart of oil every 400 miles. Audi has settled a class action lawsuit for this. One would think that if they settled a class action lawsuit, it would result in a recall so dealers can take care of it. Audi did not. What a horrible car. What a horrible company. If I had known that the car would only last 81K miles, I would never have bought it. My local Audi dealer, Audi North Austin, tried many things. None of them stopped the oil burning. Regardless, I paid them thousands. I took it to a non-dealer repair shop, and they explained the whole engine/piston ring problem to me immediately. One would think the Audi-trained dealer technicians would know more. All I get from Audi USA and the dealers are should shrugs and effectively saying "sucks to be you."
