STEERING
AT 1500 MILES I DEVELOPED A NOTCHY FEELING IN MY STEERING WHEEL AT THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION. THIS NOTCHY FEEL CREATES A NEED FOR CONSTANT CORRECTION JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT PATH. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE NEW ELECTROMECHANICAL STEERING THAT AUDI IMPLEMENTED IN 2013 MODELS. THIS PROBLEM IS IMPACTING MANY DRIVERS ACROSS ALL MODEL LINES AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT IS NOT PREVALENT EACH DAY, HOWEVER MY ABILITY TO KEEP MY CAR TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT PATH IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE ISSUE ARISES. AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS IT CREATES A SENSATION THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO AUDI OF AMERICA AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE OR FOLLOW UP. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE REPORTING THAT THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY OCCURS AS A RESULT OF FAULTY STEERING COMPONENTS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO READ THE CONCERNS OF OTHER OWNERS.

STEERING
2010 AUDI A5 - THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY CAUSING CAR TO SHIFT FROM LANES AND DRIVE TO LOSE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE IS UNSTABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO POORLY MANUFACTURED CONTROL ARMS AND THE DEALER/MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RAISED SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS. NEITHER AUDI NOR THE DEALERSHIPS BOTH AWARE OF THE PROBLEM REFUSE TO FIX IT DESPITE BEING UNDER WARRANTY AND DEMAND MONEY FOR REPAIRS WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND ARE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY. IF CONTROL ARMS BREAK OR SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH OR GO OFF ROAD DEATH OR OTHER INJURIES MAY OCCUR. *TR
