| 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. |
