The stock turbo when right in the middle of traffic at 60,000 miles. Almost died in traffic as the car would not move out of the road.

Summary

AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE JUST QUIT. FORTUNATELY WE WERE AT A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE OFF-RAMP. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MOVE IT OUT OF TRAFFIC NOR COULD WE SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. HAD THIS HAPPENED A FEW MINUTES EARLIER, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. FORTUNATELY, MY SON WAS DRIVING, BECAUSE AT MY AGE HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE STEERED IT TO SAFETY WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS HAPPENING TO THIS MODEL CAR. IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT'S A SHAME THAT AUDI IS FORCING ITS CUSTOMERS TO COVER THE COST OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE (AND EXTREMELY FREQUENTLY FROM OWNER REPORTS) THAT ALSO LED TO A COMPLETELY LOSS OF CONTROL AND SOME BRAKE FUNCTION. AUDI HAS A TSB ON THE ISSUE, BUT WONDERING WHY THE DOT/NHTSA HAS YET TO ENFORCE A RECALL? *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED AT HIGHWAY DRIVING SPEEDS. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO AUDI DEALERSHIP TWICE, YET THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT THEY ARE RUNNING RELY ON THE COMPUTER, WHICH IS DEFECTIVE TO BEGIN WITH AND NOT RECORDING THE NECESSARY FAILURE (CODES) FOR WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL ON THE VEHICLE.

Summary

WHEN BRAKING THE CAR VIBRATES, SOMETIMES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO KEEP APPLYING THE BRAKES TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SERVICE SINCE JUNE 27, 2015 AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN 21,000 MILES. HOWEVER, THIS VIBRATION HAS BEEN NOTICED EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. ORIGINALLY, I THOUGHT THE VIBRATION WAS DUE TO THE ROAD SURFACE OR CONDITION, BUT I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A VEHICLE FAULT. IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WE WERE DRIVING FROM PAYSON, ARIZONA TO MESA, ARIZONA USING THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL. ON THIS ROAD, US 87, THERE ARE A FEW INCLINES OF ABOUT 6% THAT RUN FOR 2 TO 3 MILES. AS THE CAR GAINED SPEED GOING DOWN THE INCLINE THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES AND EXTREME SHUDDERING AND VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE OCCURRED. TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED WE EVENTUALLY REVERTED TO ENGINE BRAKING TO CONTROL A SAFE SPEED. THIS HIGHWAY IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND I AM CERTAIN THAT THE ROAD CONDITIONS DID NOT CONTRIBUTE THE THE VIOLENT SHUDDERING OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN RETIRED FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE HARD OR HAD ANY EMERGENCY STOPS. THE VIBRATION IS PRESENT, TO A LESSER DEGREE, AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND VARIES CONSIDERABLY DAY TO DAY. I HAVE OWNED TWO LEXUS' PRIOR TO THE A8L. BOTH THE LS400 AND LS430 WERE DRIVEN 120,000+ MILES WITHOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM OR VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. THE PADS MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE, BUT THE ROTORS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON A SUBURBAN CITY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH NO CARS OR ANY OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS AHEAD OF ME OR BEHIND ME. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR ENGAGED ITS EMERGENCY BRAKING THROWING MY DAUGHTER AND ME FORWARD VIOLENTLY INTO OUR SEAT BELTS. WHEN I FELL BACK, THE DASHBOARD WAS SHOWING ME A PROXIMITY WARNING BUT AGAIN NOTHING WAS ANYWHERE NEAR OUR CAR. THE SERVICING DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES AND SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN (YET) BUT THE CAMERAS ALL AROUND THE CAR THAT ENGAGE FOR PARKING AND IN REVERSE ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT AND/OR THE VEHICLE MMI SYSTEM RANDOMLY RETRACTS INTO THE DASH WHILE DRIVING.

CAR VIBRATES AT ALMOST ANY SPEED OTHER THAN IDLE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, THE SEATS AND ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T GET THE CAR FIXED. I HAVE ASKED AUDI TO REPLACE THE CAR IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT. NO RESPONSE. I HAD 5 AUDI A8'S IN THE PAST AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY SUCH PROBLEM I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I LEASED THE CAR FOR 15,000 MILES PER YEAR AND ONLY HAVE 7800 MILES IN 11 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS FEAR.

THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE. I CONSISTENTLY HIT THE BRAKE WHILE ACCELERATING. THEY NEED TO BE SPACED FARTHER APART, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVED TO THE LEFT. THERE ARE COMMENTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND AUDI SERVICE SAYS THERE IS NO FIX. I HAVE LARGE FEET AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURER. I NEED THE NHTSA TO GET INVOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THIS IS A VERY BIG DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

WHEELS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THOSE OF ANOTHER CAR AND TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT TO NO AVAIL.
