Too many engine issues/misfire/oil leaks on coils, air intake issues- hard to find the issue, engine burns/consumes way too much oil. Had gasket cover, PCV valve replaced, all coils replaced on 2 occasions due to oil leakage, spark plugs replaced, fuel pump replaced, intake valve replaced, water pump replaced, mass airflow sensor replaced, electric throttle body module replaced and I’m still experiencing misfires etc.

Takata recall head curtain bag recall fuel pump flange recall I've had no accident or malfunction as yet, but want the products to be replaced in my vehicle as soon as possible. I've contacted the dealership and in the last 6 months they have not been able to schedule any time for the recommended repair.
Takata recall - this recall was started in february of 2016 yet I was never informed by audi that my vehicle needed the air bag fixed and the audi website states that a solution is still pending. I also have a second recall related to the fuel pump that began in september of 2016. I need to know if the vehicle can already be fixed for the takata recall and until what date I have to take it to an audi dealer for repair.
2012 audi q5. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair airbag or fuel pump flange.
Drive 2012 audi q5 2.0t premium plus. I was driving back home and malfunction indicator light (mil) showed up. The engine is making whistling sound. I took my car to audi dealership and they informed me that the high pressure fuel pump and some other parts would need replacement. I got a letter from audi about warranty extension for fuel injector to 120k miles. As per the dealership, this is a different issue. When researched online, this is a very known issue and alot of audi 2.0t engines have come up with this issue. My car just went out of warranty and is at 54k miles, this is upsetting that such a known issue and I've to pay for this.
