Apparently this is a common issue with this vehicle, and I'm wondering why recall is not active. I understand there was a class action lawsuit, how does one get in on that?

A4 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 104,000 miles

AudiUSA has a known service issue here, won't assist with any goodwill towards the fix. Additionally, the servicing dealership just sold to new ownership (2/2021) and AudiUSA can't or won't get the prior service records. (Audi Lafayette Indiana) I'm beholden to another dealership to fix it correctly at a fair price. Any suggestions for additional recourse?

A4 Premium Plus 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 64,644 miles

64000 miles on a car and have to buy a new motor for $9000 plus. It's not scheduled to have it changed till 110000 miles, half the allotted miles. And you want me to pay full price for something they knew was an issue for quite some time. Seems to be a theme with VW Audi

it's definitely a love hate with VW/Audi for me.

So for me now, I have a paperweight in the garage. Can't afford 9 plus grand for a complete motor and whatever else went with it and still pay for my certified used Audi...
