Best and Worst Audi A4 quattro Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 13 Audi A4 quattro model years from 2010 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 42 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2019 — 5 complaints, 1 recall campaign
  • 2022 — 6 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2021 — 11 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2020 — 127 complaints, 3 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2013 — 111 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2017 — 82 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 5★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
