NHTSA Complaint #10669177 — 2009 AUDI A4

THIS PAST FALL, AUDI REPLACED MY PISTONS AND RINGS DUE TO A FAILED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. MY CAR WOULD REQUIRE OIL AFTER ABOUT 250 MILES. WITHIN A WEEK OF CHANGING THE OIL AT AUDI I RECEIVED A WARNING LIGHT. AUDI AT THAT TIME DECIDED TO REPLACE MY PISTONS AND RINGS. ON 12/29 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTING RATTLING VERY LOUD AND I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING, GRAY SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE REAR TAILPIPE AND MY CAR TURNED OFF. I MANAGED TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND IT LOOKED AS IF OIL HAS LEAKED ALL OVER THE RIGHT TIRE BY THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO AUDI FOR SERVICE. THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME IT WILL COST $5000 TO FIX THE CAR. I FEEL THE SINCE THEY LAST WORKED ON THE ENGINE THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR. *JS
