My a4 constantly pulls to the right. I have replaced the tires, the rotors and brakes, and had audi do an alignment. The vehicle still pulls to the right.

The electrical power steering became defective while driving down the road at 75 MPH. The steering wheel locked up and pulled to the right, nearly causing a high speed collision with a semi. The error message "steering is defective, do not drive vehicle" displayed and has not gone away.

Audi a4 2013. The car will not stay centered in the lane on the highway. It wanders off center without any change in the road or position of the steering wheel. It constantly feels like it is being buffeted in a heavy wind.. When I turn to correct, the car overshoots and I have to turn back again to center it. Software upgrade did not fix the problem. This is dangerous, as the car drifts from side to side with the steering wheel held steady. Dealer says this is normal for audi cars. Not true, as I drove a 2017 a4 with no steering issues at all. This is a problem with the electromechanical steering.

At highway speeds, steering feedback is very unpredictable. The vehicle will not drive in a straight line at highway speed, it constantly requires unnatural adjustments to maintain the vehicles position in interstate lane. The vehicle does not pull to one side or the other instead the steering is loose and unpredictable a few inches on either side from the 12 o'clock position, neutral position. This has caused very often unintentional lane departures and almost accidents.

After picking up my new a4 and reaching highway speed, I noticed the steering was wanting to wander. After getting home I went online and read other owners same complaints on this web page. I drove the car again yesterday and noticed the audi drive select feature was mainly causing the problem. If I selected the dynamic or sport mode it would started to wander off. In the other two modes it seemed to be pretty normal. This might be ok on the race track where your making turns all the time, but for normal driving it stinks. Audi needs to look into this right away.

This vehicles electromechanical steering system will not hold the vehicle in a straight line. The steering wanders extremely bad when at highway speeds. When making steering corrections the car will continue to travel in the direction of the last correction even when the wheel is returned to dead-center. This issue is amplified if there is any amount of wind/cross winds. The vehicle will literally allow itself be blown almost into the next lane when holding the wheel straight and at times with strong wind will even do this when compensating by turning the wheel against the push of the wind. It is nearly impossible to hold a line without constant corrections to the steering angle. This issue should be corrected by audi via a firmware update or some other corrective measure. In my opinion this makes the vehicle very unpredictable and at times very unsafe to travel on the highway with. If the car is hit by a strong cross wind it will drive the car "sideways" into the opposite lane or breakdown lane.

I bought a new 2014 audi a4 and noticed immediately, once I hit freeway speeds, the car would not track straight. Once centered in the lane and releasing the steering wheel the car started to drift either left or right in that than 5 seconds. The direction if the drift seems to be dependent on the direct of the last course correction. If I had to turn left to center the car in the lane then it would wander left when the wheel was released, if the last course correction was right then it would wander right. I brought the car into the dealer and they could not find any problems mechanically and it had the latest software flash. I was told it was performing as designed. The senior technician was well aware of the problem but audi's tech center could not recommend a fix at this time.

Allroad wagon. Notchy steering that felt like it was pulling to one side. Disconcerting!
