Consumer Description

THE TURBO CHARGER BEARINGS BROKE AND DESTROYED THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE SINCE HEARD OF MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR BILL FROM THE AUDI DEALER WAS $48,000, YES THAT'S NOT A TYPO, $48,000 IS WAY MORE THAN THE CAR IS EVEN WORTH. WE STILL OWE $30,000 ON A CAR THAT IS ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS WITHOUT A RUNNING ENGINE AND IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I BELIEVE AUDI SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
