VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL*THE CONTACT'S FATHER OWNS A 2004 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR OF THE VEHICLE. FURTHERMORE, THERE WAS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A CRACKED KNEE CAP AND STERNUM. AS OF OCTOBER 5, 2007, THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER OF MY 2012 AUDI A4 AVANT QUATTRO, A STRANGE NOISE BEGAN FROM THE FRONT AREA OF THE ENGINE. THE NOISE HAPPENS AT THE FIRST STARTUP OF THE ENGINE REGARDLESS OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES WHEN THE ENGINE IDLES DOWN THE NOISE STOPS. DIFFERENT AUDI TECHNICIANS AT TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE DIAGNOSED THE NOISE AS 1) CAM TENSIONERS, 2) A BAD BEARING INSIDE THE CAM CASE, 3) SECONDARY BLOWER MOTOR AND, 4) LASH IN THE VVT SYSTEM. NONE OF THE TECHNICIANS HAVE PUT A WRENCH ON ANY OF THE NAMED COMPONENTS BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE MANAGERS, AUDI USA WILL NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIRS. ACCORDING TO AUDI USA, THE STRANGE NOISE IS A NORMAL FUNCTION EVEN THOUGH AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY THE NOISE WAS NOT APPARENT FOR THE FIRST APPROXIMATE 1000 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR
