• Engine stall - turbo failure investigation # EA22001

  On march 29, 2021, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened a preliminary evaluation (pe 21-009) after the agency received 58 reports alleging engine stalling in 2013-2016my audi vehicle models a8, s6, s7, s8 & rs7 equipped with the 4.0l, twin-turbocharged engine. Complainants reported the vehicles would stall with no warning while driving at highway or city traffic speeds. Several of the complainants alleged an inability to restart. The complaints alleged the major contributing factor to the engine stalling was the failure of the turbochargers. The complaints cited the turbocharger failure was a result of oil starvation due to a clogged oil strainer in the turbocharger oil supply line.The location of the oil strainer in the turbocharger oil supply line is in the inner valley of the engine. It is not easily accessible, making servicing the component difficult. The oil strainer removes particles and carbon deposits from the oil before lubricating the turbochargers. Over time, if the debris is not removed from the oil strainer, it becomes clogged and prevents oil from flowing to the turbochargers. This causes the turbine bushings to run dry and overheat resulting in turbine shaft failure due to thermal stress.On april 04, 2022, pe21-009 was upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea22-001) to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the alleged defect. Volkswagen filed recall 22v-178 to replace the 30?M mesh oil strainer with a 90?M mesh oil strainer in the subject vehicles. Vw introduced the larger mesh oil strainer into production in march of 2017 effecting the 2017-2018my vehicles.Odi reviewed information from vw for vehicles that had the larger mesh installed in production. The data received showed, since the new oil strainer size of 90?M went into production for the 2017-2018my, there has not been any reported incidents of turbocharger failures due to oil starvation or other failures that could be related to the larger screen mesh. In view of the recall being conducted by vw and lack of any detrimental side effect to the turbocharger caused by the larger mesh, odi is closing this engineering analysis (ea). The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.11502847,11506565,11494663,11488813,11486393,11480926,11479882,11476289,11466761 11464663,11463254,11460580,11460496,11458973,11458804,11457556,11454753,11452668 11452589,11452584,11452383,11452175,11452111,11451724,11451724,11450995,11450988 11449661,11447092,11443657,11442867,11440536,11440052,11439959,11438691,11436461 11435619,11433925,11433733,11432336,11431661,11431421,11429704,11429584,11428128 11426929,11424203,11423603,11423337,11422431,11421084,11420626,11420342,11419693 11418884,11418437,11418433,11418135,11417635,11417351,11416095,11414578,11414235 11414064,11413359,11413285,11413214,11407510,11407450,11406897,11406821,11406637 11406460,11406416,11406291,11406287,11406277,11406273,11406263,11406256,11406251 11406229,11406222,11406208,11406204,11406197,11406182,11406015,11404665,11404426 11404348,11403823,11403430,11403268,11402684,11399435,11397821,11396241,11394763 11391037

I was driving and my turbos blew causing my car to shut down and not be able to restart. I was in the middle of traffic and was lucky to pull over. There was no warning and i had my 2 young kids in the car and it could have caused an accident. This was dangerous for myself and other motorists. I use this vehicle as a daily driver and this should not happen. I have not had it repaired yet but i can only imagine it will costs thousands of dollars.

Was driving on the highway for 2 hours, slowed down to exit to a gas station, once on the route car shut down, all systems inoperative steering and brakes soon harden could securely stop at gas station with impulse. Car could not be turned on again easily, and in my drive to the closest hotel (2 mniles) car will shut down if not constantly accelerated. Dealer told me two turbos needed to be replaced. Car had 45k miles, less than one month off cpo warranty (i.E., perfectly maintained).

As a resident of oklahoma i purchased a 2016 audi a8 from vroom in november 2019. I paid them 30,000 cash down to include $4025 in sales tax $73.75 dealer inventory tax $105.50 gov license and registration fees $11.00 cert of title fee $25.00 vehicle inspection fee $150.00 some random document fee related to registration all of which vroom has refused to comply with!!! It's going on nine months and i have not had any type of registration, license plate, temporary plate since january 2020 that's valid on the car that i purchased from this shady company! I signed all the contracts, sent then the vin verification form and still nothing. Not even additional temporary plates until they get their crap together!! I've called them, emailed them and once they received my payment it's like i didn't exist. This is unacceptable and this company needs to be held responsible. I've been to my oklahoma department of motor vehicles to see if they could help me file a complaint or do something give me a license plate since i've already paid for tax, title & reg but because the company is located in texas they claim there is nothing that they can do. If i had a drivable car i might be able to drive down to a texas dmv but because of vrooms poor business practices, theft and failure to comply with their own contracts i've been paying on a car that is useless to me. Please help me force this company to send me my plates and prosecute to the full extent of the law.
