• Recall 2022022 [Canada]: Suspension
  Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear wheel alignment was not checked during recall 42l1 (transport canada recall 2021-249). As a result, the steering could pull to one side or another and the tires could wear unevenly. If you continue to drive the vehicle in this condition, there may be reduced traction. Eventually, a tire could fail and lose air pressure. Safety risk: a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect and adjust the rear wheel alignment, as necessary. Additionally, the dealer will inspect the rear tires for premature and uneven wear due to this issue, and replace them if necessary.

Water is collecting in the rear passenger door well or the door sill. Water sloshing is heard when braking or accelerating from stop. Problem is more severe after rains or car washes.

This is another occurrence therefore a continuation of complaint number 11258717. On a second occasion while driving in the express lanes of an expressway, the pre-sense displayed a crossroad indication on the instrument display and applied the brakes while i was going approximately 75 mph on a limited access expressway in the express lanes. Can you imagine what would have happened if i had a car tailgating me at that time? There is some serious software defects with this system. Is anyone going to respond to this?

On two occasions so far, when making a left turn in a four way intersection, the pre-sense system detected an oncoming car way too early and applied the brakes hard just as i was well into the turn and needed to get out of the intersection before i became a danger to the oncoming car. This put me into a potentially very dangerous situation. I am aware that the sensitivity can be adjusted but, in this case, there was no danger at all until my car braked suddenly as i was trying to complete my turn safely. That actually created a hazard. As with other similar complaints that i have read about, i believe that the software is still somewhat imperfect. I have since selected the least sensitive setting and have had no further problems. The pre-sense system has also braked hard several times when backing up even though any potential danger was still well away from my car. The braking is so harsh and startling, that alone could cause unintended consequences.

I was stopped in a turn lane to make a left turn across 3 lanes of opposing traffic on a major us highway. . I started the turn and the pre-sense system stopped the car as it was entering the opposing lane of traffic almost causing a disaster as the oncoming traffic was moving approximate 50-60 mph. Fortunately for the oncoming car, the lane adjacent was empty at the moment so they could move over and pass me safely as i was stuck in the lane of the oncoming traffic with the brakes automatically applied.
