CarComplaints.com Notes: The 3rd generation A8 got off to a slow start. Really slow, like "limp home" slow thanks to leaking antifreeze frying the engine's control modules. Thankfully the problem was recalled in September 2016.

Audi A 8 has STRUT DEFECT - Car makes very high pitch noise when you go over sloppy roads or speed bum bumps - Audi is telling me that the STRUTS have a problem on most of the Audi A 8's and not sure if they can fix the problem because they had defectice STRUTS that they purchased from a Manufacter.

This is very disturbing and I believe there is a cover up - I met with Audi regional manager who ADMITS there is a huge problem with Audi A 8's and they have to find new struts to put on the cars.

My car cost over $100,000 and Audi had bulletin Noptice on the A8 regarding this problem.
