| 2004 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | A FUEL PUMPED HAS FAILED IN MY 2004 AUDI A4 QUATTRO 3.0L. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP IN THE PREVIOUS MODEL (2003). WITHIN MY RESEARCH, I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT SEVERAL 2004 OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PREMATURE FAILURE WITH THE FUEL PUMP (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME FUEL PUMP FOR THE 2003 MODEL, AS WELL AS THE 2002 AND 2001). I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF 800 DOLLARS AT AN AUDI DEALER RECENTLY. MY CAR ONLY HAS 60K ON IT, AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING FUEL PUMP ISSUES. I FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD COVER MY CHARGES, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER 2004 A4 OWNERS' CHARGES FOR THE FUEL PUMP FIX. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, AND I HOPE TO FIND THE REASONING TO BE A SIMILAR INSTANCE AS THE 2003 A4 FUEL PUMP RECALL DETAILED BY THE NHTSA. THANK YOU. *TR |
| 2005 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I HAVE A 2005 A4 AND FOR THE PAST YEAR HAVE BEEN GETTING A 'DIPPED HEADLIGHT' WARNING ON MY DASH LCD. WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING, THE DRIVER'S HEADLIGHT WILL FLICKER & SPORADICALLY GO OFF. MY DEALERSHIP SAID TO SHUT OFF CAR, WAIT A MINUTE, AND TURN CAR BACK ON. THIS SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE SITUATION, BUT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT OR FLICKER, IT'S NOT CONSIVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT YOUR CAR OFF. THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS UNDER A RECALL AS THERE IS STILL NOT ONE SET UP. AUDI IS LETTING THEIR LOYAL CONSUMERS DOWN BY PUTTING US AT RISK OF HARM SHOULD WE BE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS JUST GO OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO ENSURE DRIVERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH FUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT. *TR |
