Takata recall I've had to replace a wheel bearing and axel 2X @ $550 each time. Car wouldn't align right, so I replaced the tires several times due to the wearing on one side. The calipers won't come off when changing the brakes and rotors. The automatic windows would randomly roll down sometimes after it would rain, and wouldn't roll back up for several days. I fixed the turn signal and cruise control, but the problems with those returned after a couple weeks, and while I was driving the under cover/protector plastic broke off all over the road because the Audi dealership apparently forgot to put it back on properly. This possibly allowed for the oil pan to hit the ground and crack, which a suspension problem was clearly part of that problem too. I took it in to see about a crack in the oil pan. They couldn't find it, but shortly thereafter, I drove to the movie store and when I got back to my car, it was no longer running. A puddle of oil was spilling out of it, and the the engine was shot. I had the car for about 2 years. I'm guessing that the problems stemmed from the what the car was recalled for.

Audi claims that transmission fluid and filter never needs to be changed, this is not only incorrect, but this also causes transmission problems on a regular basis. This should not be told to the customer for it is a lie just so the customer has constant transmission problems while Audi racks in the money. It is a scam and it should be eliminated from potential and existing Audi customers. No oil was ever made not to break down and not ever be changed. A new Audi owner usually listens to the dealership about their cars, and usually don't change the fluids or filters, hence transmission break downs and expensive repairs. Scam

Have had nothing but problems with the Audi A6 since inception. Car started making a horrible noise that sounds like it is coming from engine or transmission. Car cannot pass emissions. Engine smoking fluid is pouring out of front of transmission. The car dealer: Nalley Audi in roswell, Georgia. The car dealer nalley Audi fraudulently took money from me and never repaired vehicle.
