The 2010 audi a4 2.0t which I leased lunges forward every time it is down shifted in triptronic mode (manually shifting the automatic transmission). Today, I reported the defect to the service writer scott summerfield at mcdonald audi in littleton co and he told me he was aware of it and that he thought audi might be working on a "fix" for it. I think you should compel audi to replace the transmissions because the lunging is a potentially life threatening defect.
2010 audi a4 2.0t has a serious lag problem which leads to acceleration surge especially when making turns. It is difficult to control.
2010 audi s4 new vehicle with 5,200 miles driving on interstate and passing a car when waterpump failed. Car was towed to dealership and repaired.
Passenger headlight stays on for 30 seconds while driving. I turn the knob off then back on. It stays on for 30 seconds again and goes back out. I just had the headlights replaced because I thought they were going bad. I passed another car with the same passenger headlight out then I noticed the light is not blown its an internal problem. Ive checked the wiring connector to headlight and its fine. I did more research online and found out alot of people experiencing the same issue. Please look into this issue.
Audi knows about this oil consumption issue my car is one of the thousands of affected one it's require more oil just after 300 miles and audi won't fix it asking for 6k to 7k to fix the engine I barely have 110k miles on the car. Audi need to recall their and fix it for free
