 Description of the problemThe coil springs broke on this vehicle on 2 separate occasions. The left front coil spring broke while it was being driven by my husband on 7/24/19. The left rear coil spring broke while i was turning out of my driveway on 4/21/20. The vehicle has over 81,000 miles, but is in very good condition. I am careful to avoid pot holes while driving, so i don't believe the cause is due to my driving habits. The photo i have provided shows the break is not due to rust. This has never happened with any vehicle that i have driven in the 50+ years i have been driving . My understanding is that a broken coil spring is very dangerous and can cause an accident particularly if it punctures a tire while driving. My suspicion is that the coil springs are defective given that the breaks occurred with 2 different coil springs. Since this has happened twice, i chose to replace all the coil springs in the car because i fear for my safety. I understand that volkswagon, of which audi is a part of, recalled over 56,000 vehicles last year due to defective coil springs. However, i cannot find any information regarding a recall for audi coil springs.
