NHTSA Complaint #11268929 — 2013 AUDI ALLROAD

I OWN A 2013 AUDI ALLROAD. RECENTLY, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE OUTER CV BOOT IN THE LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 WHILE STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THE CV BOOT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT NO CHARGE. ON OCTOBER 4, 2019, THE RIGHT FRONT CV BOOT AND AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED OUT OF WARRANTY BY A REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP NOTED GREASE LEAKING FROM THE LEFT FRONT AXLE BOOT, THE VERY SOMEONE THAT HAD BEEN REPAIR IN SEPTEMBER 2018. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO AUDI LAST WEEK AND THEY MADE A COURTESY REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE REPAIR MADE IN SEPTEMBER 2018 WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR REPAIR AND A SERVICE CONSULTANT SAID THAT ONLY A CLAMPED NEEDED TIGHTENING. THE CAR IS GOING ON LIFT ON MONDAY TO SEE IF A REPAIR WAS COMPLETED TO THE RIGHT FRONT BOOT MADE BY AUDI WAS DONE CORRECTLY. I DON'T TRUST VW/AUDI AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE REPAIRS NEED TO THE LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT FRONT CV BOOTS. I HAVE OWNED OR LEASED 17 CARS IN MY LIFETIME. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A CV BOOT OR AXLE ON ANY CAR I HAVE OWNED OR LEASED. I CURRENTLY OWN 4 CARS ONE OF WHICH IS THE AUDI ALLROAD IN QUESTION. NONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE EVER NEEDED A CV BOOT OR AXLE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. MY 2007 MDX HAS 170,000 PLUS MILES, MY 2013 JEEP WRANGLER HAS 70,000 PLUS MILES, MY 2006 PORSCHE 911 HAS 25,000 PLUS MILES AND THE 2013 AUDI HAS 61,000 PLUS MILES. CV BOOTS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THE RATE THEY ARE FAILING ON MY AUDI. A VEHICLE RECALL MAY BE REQUIRED TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM WITH THE CV BOOT. A DEFECTIVE CV BOOT CAN CAUSE AXLE GREASE TO LEAK ONTO THE ROADWAY AND CREATE A HAZARD, TRAP NUISANCE OR DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR OTHER DRIVERS, RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS, PERSONAL INJURIES AND FATALITIES. I AM SURE AUDI WOULD NOT WANT SUCH A RESULT IF THEIR PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE.
