Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Timing chain tensioner failed causing catastrophic engine failure and stall on city road intersection full of traffic.
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!!!
I have an 2010 audi a4. The vehicle stalled on the highway while driving at 60 MPH. The oil light went from yellow to red and the car. I had just put oil in the vehicle before leaving that morning, and the vehicle is not leaking oil. I have complained to the dealer and manufacturer about the oil consumption problem which is a well known problem with the 2008-2012 a4 and a5 models, but the claim it is not a safety issue and have refused to fix the problem.
