Every safety complaint, recall and defect investigation the US government
holds on this vehicle.
Owners of the 2010 Audi A4 have filed 64
safety complaints with NHTSA
between January 2010 and August 2023.
The most complained-about system is the engine,
named in 37 of them
(58%). The typical failure was reported at 86,000 miles, the median
across the 51 complaints that gave an
odometer reading.
No recall campaign was matched to this year, make and model. That is not
the same as a clean vehicle: recalls are issued against production
ranges, and the only reliable check is your own VIN.
If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon
law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back.

Where these numbers come from
- Complaints: NHTSA's ODI
complaint file
, published August 20, 2026. One
complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.
- Recalls: NHTSA's recall
campaign API
, most recent campaign filed August 12, 2026.
- Investigations: NHTSA's ODI
investigation file

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by
us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that
sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
