I bought the car 2 days ago and on the way back from the dealership I'd already had to add a quart of oil, 2 days later after refilling and I'm basically back to zero on oil. I don't drive much so this is ridiculous. The oil consumption is much higher than it should be, I've driven maybe 400 miles and I've had to add oil twice. I've never had to do this with any other car before, this is mad.

High oil consumption for years, from faulty pistons and piston rings leading to catastrophic engine failure. Repeated conversations with my mechanic and review of audi blogs shows that audi USA knows about this problem and has done nothing to repair it. We were told the high oil consumption was within parameters, but now the car is no fixable for a reasonable rate.

High oil consumption from faulty pistons and piston rings leading to catastrophic engine failure. Broke exhaust valve at highway speed while on interstate. Audi aware of defects but denies responsibility. They refused multiple reasonable requests for help in repairs.

Oil consumption issue resulting in constantly topping-off oil, purchasing oil by the cases. Audi of america clearly states that the audi dealership is required to fulfill the repair obligation, since my vehicle is within the 80k mileage/8 year time frame, audi is liable to make the relative repairs. However, the audi of tysons dealership seems to believe otherwise and refuses to assume the responsibility of repairs. The dealership completed part one of the testing and requested that I return once the oil light illuminated. After returning to the dealership, the resistance began. After providing consistent service records of oil changes that exclude the "odometer readings", the audi dealership did not go to the next phase of testing/repair. As a result, the vehicle has stalled on the beltway(risky). Assuming responsibility of a repair now would definitely alleviate a costly price to pay should an accident occur related to this problem. Someone needs to take immediate recall action now or pay a major price later! Not the way to value a consumer and a poor way of handling the matter!!!

Purchased a used lease vehicle in 2014, 63,000 miles on it. Looked like a creampuff. Carfax was clean. Used oil excessively. Was told by local dealer I could not get car fixed per class action settlement because I was not original owner or did not have all service records. Car has now had an intake valve failure in cylinder 3 while driving on highway at normal speed. Possibly caused by defective piston rings breaking. 101,000 miles and just out of extended warranty I purchased for $2500 extra. Car is not drivable and stuck 3 hours from my home. Audi of america says car was "fixed" in 2012 and will not release maintenance records, citing privacy of previous owner, a corporate lease. Audi dealer in melbourne fl who did the repair in 2012 will not release records so I do not know what was fixed and what parts were used. Total runaround by audi of america and audi of melbourne. I don't have $7000 for repair, and, still make payments on car for 2 more years . A car I can't drive, for work. All 5 million vehicles from 2009, 2010 and 2011 with defective pistons and rings need to be recalled and fixed. Excessive oil consumption also compromises catalytic converter performance, and life. That's another $1200-$1700 to get replaced. Audi care is a joke. Their arrogance is astounding.

Add oil warning light on. The car tells me to add 1 quarts oil every 200-300 miles. Car has a known excessive oil consumption issue because audi made bad batch of piston rings on engine code cae and they refuse to admit it. Class action lawsuit was filed against them and was settled in sept 2014 and now its time for a recall on this issue.
