Description of the problem | A bent steering shaft was not known under normal operating conditions. This bent shaft put excessive strain on the power steering pump, which causes failure at speed without any signs of it failing. This prevented the vehicle from being able to easily be turned while in process of turning the wheel allowing the vehicle to continue in a straight line towards oncoming traffic or other stationary objects. This occurred at various speeds and sometimes under braking. These issues would be intermittent and not able to be predicted to prepare and take additional measures. This is known by audi under technical service bulletin 2036032/2. |
