2010 AUDI A4 Power Train Problems

CAR SUFFERED FROM CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO KNOWN TIMING CHAIN ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE. HTTPS://TIMINGCHAINLITIGATION.COM/

CAR RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AFTER MAKING A QUICK TURN CAUSING IT TO LOSE POWER AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. WAITED FOR A FEW MOMENTS TO TRY AND START TO CAR, AFTER THE 3 TIME TRYING, THE CAR STARTE.

DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAR LOST POWER. TRIED TO RESTART BUT NOT SUCCESSFUL. DASHBOARD FLASHED MESSAGE "GEARBOX MALFUNCTION: YOU MAY CONTINUE TO DRIVE". THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER SITTING FOR TWO HOURS, THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME.

PURCHASED A USED LEASE VEHICLE IN 2014, 63,000 MILES ON IT. LOOKED LIKE A CREAMPUFF. CARFAX WAS CLEAN. USED OIL EXCESSIVELY. WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER I COULD NOT GET CAR FIXED PER CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT BECAUSE I WAS NOT ORIGINAL OWNER OR DID NOT HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS. CAR HAS NOW HAD AN INTAKE VALVE FAILURE IN CYLINDER 3 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED. POSSIBLY CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE PISTON RINGS BREAKING. 101,000 MILES AND JUST OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED FOR $2500 EXTRA. CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AND STUCK 3 HOURS FROM MY HOME. AUDI OF AMERICA SAYS CAR WAS "FIXED" IN 2012 AND WILL NOT RELEASE MAINTENANCE RECORDS, CITING PRIVACY OF PREVIOUS OWNER, A CORPORATE LEASE. AUDI DEALER IN MELBOURNE FL WHO DID THE REPAIR IN 2012 WILL NOT RELEASE RECORDS SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WAS FIXED AND WHAT PARTS WERE USED. TOTAL...
