Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Purchased my 2013 audi a4 in 2017 and similar to all the other complaints the steering seized sporadicly indicating it was unsafe to drive etc.. The car was towed and i after a couple weeks the problem was that the power steering module was defective. I had a new one installed at the cost of 2500$ (the dealer wanted to charge 4000$!) . The car was running smoothly until recently (it always seems to be in the winter when it becomes mild) the steering has begun to stick once again and its only a matter of time before my dash lights up notifying me the car cant be driven. This is clearly a problem as there are hundreds of complaints for the same issue. Please fix it! |
