2021 AUDI A4 ALLROAD

Filed Oct 20, 2026


A few minutes into the drive the transmission oil is too hot warning light came on and the car went into a 'limp' mode, car could only be driven less than 10mph. If this occurred while making a turn or in the highway it could have been disastrous or even fatal. We took it to the dealer and by then the engine light was on without the transmission oil is too hot. Car was still on limp mode. Final verdict was that the Transmission control module was bad. Car only has a little over 45k miles but…

I am reporting a recurring safety defect involving the interior speaker trim assemblies on my 2017 Audi A4 Prestige. The affected speaker trim was previously repaired under an Audi safety recall by an authorized Audi service provider. This recall repair is documented in Audi’s service records. Despite the completed recall remedy, the same component has failed again. The deterioration affects multiple locations in the vehicle, and sharp edges are now exposed, creating a potential laceration…

2018 AUDI A4

Filed Oct 14, 2026


I am reporting a serious vehicle safety incident involving my 2018 Audi A4. On XXX, while traveling from [XXX] to [XXX] with my [XXX] son in the vehicle, all four tire valve stems failed during a single interstate journey. The first failure occurred on the front-left tire, causing nearly instantaneous tire deflation. After an emergency repair, I continued driving, but the remaining three valve stems subsequently failed in succession. Each failure created a potentially dangerous situation…

2022 AUDI A4 ALLROAD

Filed Oct 14, 2026


The Problem My 2022 Audi A4 allroad began developing a shudder, skipping and binding sensation between approximately 40,000–50,000 miles when accelerating from a stop with the wheels turned. The condition became progressively more pronounced. It could be felt through the steering wheel and chassis and was noticeable to passengers. I reported the problem to Audi dealer service personnel, but it was not properly diagnosed. I performed extensive research and found Audi TSB 2059057/15, which…

Date: [XXX] Time: Approximately [XXX] Location: Street in front of [XXX]. At approximately [XXX], my wife was seated and properly belted in the front passenger seat of our 2020 Audi A4. The vehicle was completely stationary and parked on the street, between a parked car in front of us and a garbage can behind us. There were no moving vehicles, pedestrians, impacts, or other apparent events occurring around the vehicle. Without warning, the passenger seatbelt suddenly and forcefully tightened…

Crash

I was going from one section of the parking lot to another section. I was slowly making a right turn into that area as there were a lot of empty parking spaces. As I turned, suddenly I felt that I could not control the car. I tried to steer and tried to stop the car. I was alarmed, thinking why the car won’t stop. Then my car slammed into a parked car, and spun it around. My car finally came to a complete stop. I don't know if the same problem has been reproduced. The vehicle is now at…

2020 AUDI A4

Filed Aug 12, 2026


My 2020 Audi A4 has an open safety recall campaign. Audi Corporate and my local dealership are formally refusing to perform the recall remedy unless I pay over $2,000 out-of-pocket to replace a broken J949 SOS Telematics Module. The manufacturer claims the module is separate from the recall, but its total failure physically blocks their diagnostic tools from applying the mandatory safety update. Conditioning a federal safety recall on a customer-paid repair violates recall compliance…

The contact owns a 2020 Audi A4. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message SOS module no longer connected was displayed on the instrument panel, and the vehicle failed to shut off. The contact believed that the failure was a safety issue due to the loss of communication, including the hands-free features, mobile phone connectivity, and the regular safety features failing to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed, and it was…
