Audi A4 Steering Safety Report | Apr 15, 2013
Reported on Apr 15, 2013
| THE STEERING DEVELOPED AN INTERMITTENT NOTCHY FEEL DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING WITHIN THE FIRST 1600 MILES. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS A BIT LIKE THE VOLUME KNOB ON THE RADIO AND CLICKS FROM ONE POSITION TO THE NEXT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN THE 2 POSITIONS. I COMPLAINED TO AUDI AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY HAD A POWER STEERING UPDATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE UPDATE WAS APPLIED IN DEC 2013. AFTER THE UPDATE THE NOTCHY FEELING STARTED OCCURRING AROUND TOWN (35-55MPH). IT CAN MAKE STAYING IN THE LANE DIFFICULT. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS FIGHTING AGAINST YOU A LITTLE. ALSO THE CAR DOES NOT GO STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT, SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT. DRIVING CAN BE VERY DISCONCERTING. I AM WORKING WITH AUDI TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A LARGER PROBLEM. SO FAR THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT. | |
