TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 AUDI ALLROAD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, BURNING FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A FIRE ERUPTED NEAR THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE STEERING COLUMN AREA. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES WITH WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND LATER TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 08V157000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), 06V198000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 04V133000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTE…

THE STEERING WILL NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER THE ABILITY TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT PULLS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS A MAGNET ON BOTH SIDES OF CENTER PULLING YOU ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IT SEEMS TO BE TEMPERATURE RELATED. ONCE THE CAR GETS WARM, OR THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GETS WARMER, THE PROBLEM IS NOT AS PRONOUNCED. AUDI SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A CONCERN WHEN DRIVING WHEN IT IS COLD AND ICY OUT. PULLING SIDE TO SIDE SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY CONCERN. APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ACROSS MODELS THAT USE …

THE COMPLETE ELECTRO-MECHANICAL STEERING SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAD COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES AND HAD LEFT THE CAR WITH THE DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES. THEY KEPT GIVING IT BACK TO ME, TELLING ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT THERE WHERE NUMEROUS REPORTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND ON THE AUDI FORUMS THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE A THOUSAND CURES FOR THE COMMON COLD ON THE INTERNET. WHEN THEY SPOKE WITH AUDI USA THEY CLAIM THAT AUDI U…

2013 AUDI A4 ALLROAD WITH 70K MILES - THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME INCREDIBLY 'NOTCHY' AND OFFERS VERY INCONSISTENT FEEDBACK WHILE DRIVING. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE FEELING IS THAT THE EXPERIENCE LEAVES ME FEELING AS THOUGH THE STEERING WHEEL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE FRONT WHEELS FOR CERTAIN INTERVALS OF TIME BEFORE RE-ENGAGING. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO DRIFT IN THE LANE, WITH CONSTANT DRIVER INPUT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A REASONABLY STRAIGHT TRAJECTORY. THIS IS A KNOWN AUDI ISSUE FOR THE 2013 MODEL YEARS W…
