Description of the problem | I bought a new 2014 audi a4 and noticed immediately, once i hit freeway speeds, the car would not track straight. Once centered in the lane and releasing the steering wheel the car started to drift either left or right in that than 5 seconds. The direction if the drift seems to be dependent on the direct of the last course correction. If i had to turn left to center the car in the lane then it would wander left when the wheel was released, if the last course correction was right then it would wander right. I brought the car into the dealer and they could not find any problems mechanically and it had the latest software flash. I was told it was performing as designed. The senior technician was well aware of the problem but audi's tech center could not recommend a fix at this time. |
