CAR VIBRATES AT ALMOST ANY SPEED OTHER THAN IDLE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, THE SEATS AND ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T GET THE CAR FIXED. I HAVE ASKED AUDI TO REPLACE THE CAR IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT. NO RESPONSE. I HAD 5 AUDI A8'S IN THE PAST AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY SUCH PROBLEM I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I LEASED THE CAR FOR 15,000 MILES PER YEAR AND ONLY HAVE 7800 MILES IN 11 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS FEAR.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Audi A8 Lwb verdict →
