| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | AUDI HEADLIGHT SHUTTERS AND SHUTS DOWN. INDICATOR STATES 'RIGHT HEADLIGHT DIPPED'. FAILURE STARTED AS INTERMITTENT AND IS NOW AS OFTEN AS EVERYDAY WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. WHEN THE LIGHT IS TURNED OFF THEN ON AGAIN, THE LIGHT WILL WORK AND THEN WILL SHUTTER/SHUT DOWN AGAIN. CONSEQUENCE IS A MISSING HEADLIGHT AT NIGHT WHICH CAN CAUSE OTHER VEHICLES NOT TO SEE ME OR LACK OF LIGHTING IN THE DRIVING PATHWAY WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT (PEDESTRIAN, OTHER VEHICLES, BIKES, ANIMALS, ETC..). CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT DEALER HAS CLAIMED THAT NO ISSUE IS REPORTED IN THE CARS SOFTWARE AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE FIXED. *TR |
| 2000 | AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY | I HAVE A 2000 AUDI A4 TURBO QUATTRO. AS SOON AS MY 30K WARRENTY EXPIRED, THIS CAR IS FALLING APART. AT 33K, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON...ENDED UP SPENDING $630 FOR AN AIR PUMP. AT 34K, ABS BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. MY EXTENDED WARRENTY FROM WARRENTECH COVERED THE ABS HOWEVER THE DEALER FOUND AIRBAG RESTRAINT SHORT CURCUIT. THE PART ALONE IS $989. I'VE MADE A COMPLAINT TO AUDI OF AMERICA THAT "IT'S STRANGE HOW THIS CAR IS FALLING APART AFTER THE WARRENTY RUNS OUT" NO REPLY FROM THEM YET. |
