Did dsm’s really get alot of warranty claims when they were still low miles though and bone stock?

my dad said he had alot of little problems with his audi a4, mostly electronic crap for awd or the stability control or something.

I remember hearing about the quad4 headgaskets. 2.2 and 2.5 dodges don’t like headgaskets either.
