One of my favorite authors no longer distributes audio books through Audible for that exact reason. And she rants about Amazon on a regular basis because anyone can complain to Amazon about "quality" (such as grammatical errors, spelling errors, or the reader just thinks the book should have been written differently) and Amazon will lock sales of the book until the "problems" are fixed or justified to Amazon's satisfaction, costing the author hours of work on creating new stuff. She's gone to distributing books privately to subscribers prior to releasing to retailers for that exact reason. And the only reason she's still on Amazon is because so many of her readers are on Amazon. If you're an Indie Author, Amazon is NOT your friend.
