What Owners Say
"Needed to be replaced"
Anonymous, CA (2014 Audi A6 Unsure 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Needed to have brake pads and rotors replaced at 70,000 miles. Very expensive on an Audi A6. Cost was $600 at a repair shop; half of what the dealership wanted to charge."
Mark O., MA (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"It is unconscionable to require a routine front brake job at 30,000 miles that costs over $1000!"
Don B., NV (2014 Audi A6 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Needed to replace all 4 rotors and pads, $2,000"
Anonymous, CA (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Just seemed early and expensive to have the front brakes replaced"
Anonymous, NJ (2014 Audi A6 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"This is the first vehicle I've had that needed breaks relined at 54000 miles"
Anonymous, FL (2014 Audi A6 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The original front brake pads and rotors and rear brake pads were replaced at 35,000 miles in 2017. I now need new brake pads and rotors in the front after 22,000. These were aftermarket parts sold as OEM equivalent by a third party repair center. The auto drive system may be causing faster brake wear."
Nick U., OH (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"directly related to scorched rotors."
Bill R., CO (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"Front rotors warped in first 5000 miles; dealer / Audi took responsibility"
L E., CA (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"Rotors rusted despite regular usage. Audi refused to replace them under warranty"
Anonymous, MA (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"Severe shimmy when braking after only 22,000 miles. Had to have the rotors replaced as they had deposits on them. Problem arose after driving in the mountains in Colorado. Dealer said need to downshift (??!) and provided a video. I believe there is a design flaw as I happen to know 3 other people with the same issue, Audi A6 or A7 that needed rotors replaced before 25,000."
Stephen R., CO (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"The brakes vibrate as I begin to brake the vehicle. If more pressure is applied, the vibration usually stops. Sometimes the vibration feels slight, and at other time it is bothersome."
Anonymous, CA (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"Twice the rotors have become "scorched"; warranty replaced them once."
Anonymous, CO (2014 Audi A6 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"They wear out quickly and cannot be resurfaced. You must replace the rotors which is expensive."
Anonymous, GA (2014 Audi A6 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Second time in ownership I've had to replace scorched rotors - Front."
Bill R., CO (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"same as the brake problem I already responded about"
Mark O., MA (2014 Audi A6 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"Rotors warped around 60000 miles, they were expensive to replace. Dealership stated they could not be turned by design."
Martin S., WA (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Squeaking from steering column"
Mark B., CA (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Brakes squeak. I was told that it's just a proble with Audis and then take dust. No solution provided"
Anonymous, TX (2014 Audi A6 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"At around 20K miles the car would make a terrible squeaking when just coming to a stop. It was fixed by changing the pads"
Anonymous, MA (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"The brakes have squeaked almost everyday I have owned the car---57 months. I have complained about it over and over again only to be handed a poorly copied page that mentions the car was made for the AUTOBAHN. I remind the dealer twice a year that I do not live in Germany."
Gary M., MI (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"Right front brake started squeaking in it's second year. Dealer checked it and solved issue by cleaning disc and pads. Squeak returned within a couple of months. Dealer took another shot at cleaning which was a total failure. Had my son-in-law who is a mechanic replace rotor and pads which has solved the problem."
Anonymous, VA (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Breaks start squeaking at 47.000"
Anonymous, MN (2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)
"ABS & 21 other warning lights came on all at once. Audi replaced the ABS system and returned car. Warning lights came on within two days and breaks were pulsating. returned car Audi replaced wheel sensor. Car still had pulsating breaks and Audi replaced break pads.
