R8

  • 36,000 miles
For the years 2008-2010 Audi R8 models are prone to experiencing structural failure of the frame. I don't know what to do. I saw the previous recalls for the vehicle and it has never repaired to get the reenforced frame structure. I haven't been in an accident and now I'm finding out that the vehicle is noted as frame damage. Shouldn't Audi/Volkswagen take care of this especially with the history of common complaints. I only found this out when my Audi service department informed me of the cracked frame meanwhile doing routine service of the brake fluid. They sent me a message saying that they encountered a major issue and that the passenger side of my car is breaking off and near separation.

R8 8-cyl

  • 43,000 miles
I was driving under normal conditions, hit a pot hole. Not a huge pothole but jarred the car. Again, under normal driving conditions. When the car was on the lift to replace the leaking suspension that plagues these cars I found the frame of the car had severe cracks in it. Structural cracks.
