| 2007 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | PURCHASED USED AUDI 2007 A6 WITH 30K MILES AND MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. CAR STARTED JERKING AND STALLING ON ACCELERATION. TOOK TO DEALER 3 TIMES, EVERY TIME THEY SAY THEIR HANDS ARE TIED BY "AUDI CORPORATE" AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS CLEAN THE VALVE OR CHANGE THE FLUID. ONE DAY MY WIFE WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE FREEWAY ON AN ONRAMP. THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED JERKING WITH NO ACCELERATION, SHE NEARLY GOT SANDWICHED BETWEEN A SEMI-TRUCK AND A MINI VAN FULL OF CHILDREN. MULTIPLE DEALERSHIP STAFF AND TECHNICIANS INDICATED "A6 2007 TRANSMISSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE AND FREQUENTLY REQUIRE REPLACING, UNFORTUNATELY THE MANUFACTURER WILL REFUSE TO DO THIS UNTIL YOU COME BACK 4-5 TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM." *TR |
| 1998 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES | THE THROTTLE STICKS IN COLD WEATHER CAUSIG THE AUDI A6 WEHICLE TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENNED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES THIS WINTER AND LAST WINTER. I REPORTED THIS LAST YEAR WITH NO SATISFACTION. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND AUDI SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM. I KNOW OF AT LEAST TWENTY OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK |
