2014 AUDI A4 ALLROAD Engine Problems

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE MY GAS PUMP AND /OR MY 3RD ENGINE IN MY 2014 AUDI A4. MY EPC LIGHT TURNS ON THEN MY CAR VIOLENTLY SHAKES AND THEN IT CUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, DRIVING IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT, AT A PARKING LOT AFTER LEAVING A FRIENDS HOME AND AT MY HOME. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO AUDI USA, LAS VEGAS AUDI AND THE FINANCE COMPANY. TODAY IT HAPPENED 1 YEAR AND 1 DAY AFTER IT HAPPENED LAST. I PARKED AT THE STORE RAN IN AND CAME OUT TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS, CAR RENTALS, RIDESHARES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. I AM NOT SURE WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE BUT I NEED ASSISTANCE. THE 1ST TIME AUDI REPLACED THE ENGINE AND 7 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE GAS PUMP, 1 YEAR LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR ANOTHER GAS PUMP BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ENDED. THEN ITS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE BY ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR THE EXACT SAME THING.

4 YEAR OLD CAR 3 MONTHS PAST 4 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MAJOR OIL LEAK, WHICH IF NOT REPAIRED CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT ENGINE. BOTH VALVE COVER GASKETS AND TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKETS ARE LEAKING. WHEN ASKED SERVICE CONSULTANT AT AUDI HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS, HE SAID IN 15-20% OF CARS BY 50,000 MILES (I HAVE 46,000 +). THIS IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW AND SHOULD BE MADE PART OF A RECALL. I AM PAYING OVER $2000.00 FOR THIS REPAIR AFTER A 10% DISCOUNT WITH A DEALERSHIP "COUPON". THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THESE PARTS AND IT IS INEXCUSABLE THAT AUDI PASS THIS DEFECT AND THE COSTS ON TO 15-20% OF CUSTOMERS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP AND COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE . THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO HAVE PREVENTED THIS FROM OCCURRING . I THINK THE NTSB CAN ALERT AUDI TO THE . FACT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CARS THEY ARE SELLING, CAUSING UNNECESSARY COSTS AND BURDENS AND POSSIBLE ENGINE HAZARDS TO CONSUMERS.
