On a side note, I've notice on my Audi S4 that the steering feel gets very "vague" at times. Friday after work I started the car and had no power steering assist and the light in the dash was illuminated. Turned it off and turned it back on and had full function again. The biggest concern I have with that is you expect your car to do 2 things for safety. Stop and Steer. If it doesn't go you don't really have to worry about those two. So no one should have to doubt their steering, even if it is just loss of assist.

My EPS went out this morning. Car had been sitting for 3 weeks... fired the car up and no steering. Shut off and restared a few times, let it warm up w/ no help.
Came back 3 hrs later and everything was working fine. Headed to the dealer next week. Really makes you uneasy to have this type problem. |

has anyone tracked if there is any differece between 2012 and 2013 cars with the EPS issue.
I remember reading that this could have been the reason for the quality hold but never saw any confirmation. I know I read there was a service bullitin to but some dielectric grease in the connection. There was also a person that had a lose batter cable contributing to the issue. So so far its seem connection issue, and voltage/current issues may contribute to the issue? seems weird that the car would start and run though and the steering have issue. Seems like dealers are spooling up on this. So far I have been fine but been kind of waiting for it to crop up.

You can do a search on power steering failure or godsplumber and his ordeal will show up. I think in his case it was a loose battery cable in the engine compartment, but the info on checking the connector and the dielectric grease is also posted.
