CAR FAILS TO START VIA THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY TO GET THE IGNITION TO START. BATTERY IN KEY FOB IS OK AS IT OPENS AND LOCKS THE CAR WITH NO ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE A SOFTWARE, OR LOOSE CONNECTION ISSUE.

KNOWN TSB BY AUDI FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING SHAFT. TURNING BECOMES DIFFICULT AND HAPPENS RANDOMLY. SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. HAPPENS WHEN BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I FEAR THAT IF THIS HAPPENS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THAT I COULD CRASH.

EPC LIGHT ILLUMINATED, ROUGH IDLING, LOSS OF POWER, CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. 2017 IT DID THE SAME THING, FOUND ELECTRICAL FAULT NEAR GAS TANK (COULD HAVE BLOWN UP). AUDI FIX AT GOODWILL. COMPRESSION OF ENGINE WAS NEVER CHECKED. 2019 SAME THINGS HAPPENING, ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION IN 2 CYLINDERS. ALL SERVICES DONE AT AUDI. TOLD NEW ENGINE $10K-13K AND THEY WILL NOT HELP COVER COSTS. ONLY 60'000 MILES DONE ON THE CAR AND NO OVERHEATING ISSUES EVER.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP IN OCT 2014 AND AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE STARTED TO BACK INTO MY PARKED CAR. I ATTEMPTED TO BLOW MY HORN AS A WARNING WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT THE HORN WILL NOT BLOW (SOUND) IF THE ENGINE IS NOT TURNED ON! THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DESCRIBED THIS AS "A FEATURE' OF THE AUDI. I ASKED IF THEY COULD WIRE MY HORN SO IT WOULD BLOW WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND THEY SAID THE WIRING WAS TOO COMPLEX TO MAKE THAT…
