2014 Audi A8L problems

“Car went dead on the hwy without any warning. Dealer has the vehicle for a month now and says there is metal shavings in fuel and need more than 15000/- in repairs to replace fuel pump, 6 fuel injectors fuel line and fuel rail. Metal shavings come from fuel pump Failure there should be micro filters in line to stop them from entering the fuel line and injector with sudden death.”

“The oil strainer needs to be replaced in my car. This is a known issue with Audi and there are many recalls on Audis, with the exception of mine. I read that this can lead to the engine stopping and causing an accident and it can ruin the engine. This has been problem has been reported to me by an independent service center.”

“The dealer has been unable to provide repairs for the broken front camera for over three months, which has rendered many of the car's safety features inoperable.”

“Turbos failed. Was traveling home on a highway, when i pulled off the engine suddenly stalls out and loss of steering occurs as the engine system automatically puts you in park. Switching to neutral leads to a very 'leaden'/heavy driving feeling (Kind of like with no Power steering, but a little better). Able to get it restarted again with some effort. Car will stall out at any point in time when RPM is 1200 or less (you have about .25s to get it back out of that range or it stalls again). Power is sluggish. To avoid stalls, shifts must be rapid and neutral-shift+gas needs to be applied to prevent RPM from being below 1200. Made it home safely, but had it towed to dealership. Dealership notified me that it was a turbo failure, both impellers have become lodged in the side of turbo casing and are stalled out. Nothing preceded this; no engine lights or anything. Effect was sudden and drastic. Temperatures were fine. Attempt to drive to repair shop led to total loss of coolant. It is believed this is a seperate issue.”

“SUNGLASSES HOLDER WILL NOT STAY CLOSED AND FALLS DOWN BLOCKING MY REARVIEW MIRROR. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CLOSE IT AND IT WILL NOT CLOSE. I CANNOT SEE CLEARLY OUT OF MY REARVIEW MIRROR WHICH IS HAZARDOUS TO MY DRIVING WHEN TRYING TO SWITCH LANES AND/OR TELL HOW CLOSE SOMEONE IS TO MY BUMPER TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I'M WORRIED THAT AN ACCIDENT MAY HAPPEN DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND APPARENTLY OTHER AUDI DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE ACCORDING TO ONE AUDI SERVICE FORUM (HTTPS://WWW.AUDIWORLD.COM/FORUMS/Q5-SQ5-MKI-8R-DISCUSSION-129/SUNGLASS-HOLDER-NOT-STAYING-UP-SRSLY-2856965/). THIS ALSO APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VOLKSWAGON BRANDED CARS.”
