Audi suspension problems

Owners have filed 454 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Audi vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 40 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Audi A4, worst in 1998.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
