Consumer bought this car at 30,040 miles. The car currently sits with 89,000 miles. I have had 18 recommended service visits totaling $19,240 and then on July 15, 2022 with no pre indicators or warnings the engine dies after a 95k full multipoint inspection that consumer had 3 weeks prior. The car has an impeccable Maintenace record. I did everything the dealer told me; and I still almost died on the 101 fwy going 70 mph on a conference call; the flashers didnt even work; the car dead and came to a hard halt and trucks were screeching around me with smoke coming from their tires because of the extreme hard stop and slamming on breaks, i was screaming for my life praying no one would slam into me. Metro who roams the fwy saved my life; without him i would be dead because of AUDI's HORRIBLY MANUFATCTURED VEHICLE. It seems as though the dealer purposefully sabotages my car as a woman; i have no alternative but to fix it and now they want $27,000 MORE for a new engine AND starter. so, in total; to drive 57,000 miles I've paid $37,000 cash for the car (I own the title)/ plus $19,240 in maintenance /repairs and now they want another 27,000 for the engine. i have no more money to give them. i recently returned my 3rd rental vehicle and i am out of funds on transportation. Ayudame ! How is this ethical? Song and Beverly consumer warranty act sect 1793.2.(d) & (g). California Health and Safety Codes 43204-43205.5. Audis Emission standards. California Code of regulations sect 3396.1-3399.6. Cal Code Regs. tit.16 / 3396.1. Thank you for reading this. ps. i have every receipt and document; so if you need anything further i am so organized it's ridiculous; please don't hesitate to ask.

The engine low oil light keeps coming on, the oil has been changed already, I-??ve had the car for more than 7 months I haven-??t even driven it over 5000 miles yet. Audi needs to fix this. The power train is also the same, some days it works okay and some days it doesn-??t. The cars struggles sometimes to even reach speeds up to 50 mph.I-??ve taken this vehicle to the Audi dealship as well as to a foreign certified mechanic shop. They can-??t figure out the problem. The engine light should not be coming on randomly when I have fully serviced the vehicle. Audi please fix these problems.
