THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $1600. I HAVE BEEN TO BOTH AN AUDI DEALER AND RECEIVED THE $1600 QUOTE, AND TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THE PART IS QUITE EASY TO REPLACE BUT EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS FROM OTHER AUDI OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN SHOWN A 90% FAILURE RATE FOR THIS PART IN AUDI'S. THE CAR ALSO HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK WHERE IT DOES NOT RELEASE AIR FROM THE TANK PROPERLY AND CAUSES TOO MUCH PRESSURE. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
