Description of the problem | I just bought the car from leasing it in may 2018. They did a inspection at audi and about 3 weeks later the engine got stuck and car smoked from hood. These a4 have excessive oil consumption which can damage engine. But audi sells vehicles with faulty engines and says its normal...... But no it is not. They sell unsuspecting consumers vehicles with faulty engines.... I got stranded on highway in heavily smoking vehicle... What is now useless. I was terrified |
