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.
Turbo failure - car stalled while slowing on a major road. audi is aware of the issue and the dangers of the failure, but has not issued a recall, even though they have issued multiple technical service bulletins regarding the issue and admitting to faulty parts causing the failure. it is only a matter of time before someone is injured or worse due to losing control of the vehicles acceleration and use of engine.
