Car started blowing white smoke and oil consumption increased to 1 quart per 500 miles. Dealership replaced pcv valve, which should have been replaced under csc-10043026-6562. However, since the check engine light never illuminated, the dealership and audi refuse to cover this issue under the extended warranty, despite the fact that the defective part is specifically called out in their customer service campaign.

From day one in august 2013 when I bought this car it burns oil at an extreme rate. A quart every 500 - 800 miles. It calls for synthetic oil by castrol which is close to $10.00 a quart. Do the math. The car manufacture say that is with in the specs for how engine was built. This is truly highway robbery and audi should be held responsible. I went on audi forums and thousands of people in the u.s. And the u.k. Complain of the same problem. Please do something about it. I as 50 years old and been paying taxes for 35 years. Working since I was 15 years old. Stand up and do something for a agency that was put in place to do so. I would greatly appreciate it. I look forward to your response.

I purchased a vehicle from better way auto sales on 10-31-14. After 2 weeks of driving, my check engine light came on. My odometer was also going up pretty fast, went from 89,000 miles to 93,000 miles in less than a month. My brake light was also on permanently even when I wasn't pressing the brakes. I bought it to a mechanic & he gave me a list of issues that was wrong with the car. I called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle from to make a appointment to bring my car in to get fixed. They gave me an appointment weeks from when I called. After having my car for a few days, they called saying my dealership warranty has expired so they can't fix it. I'm 100% sure I didn't drive 4,000 miles in 3 weeks. The dealership warranty expires after 90 days or 3,000 miles which ever one comes first. I also purchased a extended warranty which the dealership said my extended warranty don't cover the parts needed. The labor of everything is expensive that they want me to pay out of pocket. I suspect that there's some odometer fraud going on or some type of scam. I also feel as though the issues with the car should've been fixed before selling. They claim there was a safety inspection done on car but aren't brakes included in inspection? I have little knowledge when it come to things of this nature but I do suspect something wrong is going on with better way auto sales.

Traveling on the freeway at 60mph. The esp(stability control) and epc lights came on. 5 seconds later the engine shuts off and I keep rolling at 60mph but decreasing speed. Luckily I was on a straight away and there was no need to turn but once the engine turned off the steering wheel was hard to turn and I could not pull over. There was an exit and I was able to stop on the off ramp. After putting the vehicle in park. I took the key out then, put it back on the ignition and tried to turn the vehicle on. The vehicle would not turn back on. When it finally turned on the vehicle stalled back off and the "check engine" light came on. After sitting in the vehicle for 5min in off. I then turned the vehicle on and it started off. I went to the dealership and told them what had happen they told me that it had never happened before with other audi's but that it sounded like it was the crank shaft sensor. After looking online and doing research many other audi owners had the same problem they stated that the "engine speed sensor" aka crankshaft sensor would go out and their engine would stall while driving. This is a safety issue! Airbags go off when the engine shuts off and the steering wheel is hard to be turned. Please do something about it!
