I received a low-oil warning and had to add 1 quart every 1,000 miles. I first approached an authorized Audi dealer at 75,000 miles, who inspected the vehicle and stated this was \u201cnormal for older vehicles\u201d and found no issues. However, the problem worsened rapidly. By 79,000 miles, I visited a second Audi dealer who acknowledged that this was a common problem in this engine type. They quoted me $16,000\u2013$20,000 for a full engine replacement, stating they could not replace pistons alone.  At 80,000 miles, my car now consumes 1 quart of oil every 200 miles. The oil warning light comes on frequently. I am forced to carry oil and top off multiple times per week. This is not normal wear for a luxury vehicle with regular maintenance.  This condition creates multiple safety risks: \u2022Sudden engine seizure or power loss if oil runs too low, especially while driving at highway speeds. \u2022Loss of steering/brake assist due to oil pressure failure. \u2022Increased fire risk from leaks or overheating. \u2022Frequent roadside stops to add oil, risking exposure to traffic. \u2022Distraction while driving due to monitoring oil levels. \u2022Environmental hazard from oil spills.  The engine remains available for inspection. The vehicle has only been inspected by Audi dealerships. Audi should be held accountable for a defect that compromises safety and reliability at relatively low mileage. I urge NHTSA to investigate and take appropriate action.
