| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE A 2001 AUDI A6 2.7T AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO SEVERE ACCIDENTS WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. THE CULPRIT IS THIS: IF YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE (AS IF YOU WERE STOPPING OR COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP) AND TRY TO REACCELERATE, THERE IS LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION. THIS "HESITATION" HAS ALMOST GOT ME KILLED SEVERAL TIMES. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER AUDI A6 CONSUMERS REGARDLESS OF MODEL ENGINE (2.8, 2.7T, 3.0 AND 4.2) THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THUS, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR AUDI USA TO SAY THIS IS "NORMAL" AND "INHERENT IN THE OPERATION OF TURBOCHARGERS" AS THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE TOLD ME BEFORE WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING SERVICED. ALTHOUGH I DO UNDERSTAND THAT TURBOCHARGERS CREATE WHAT IS DEEMED AS "TURBO LAG" ON ACCELERATION, I EXPERIENCE MAJOR DELAYS IN ANY ACCELERATION IMMEDIATELY AFTER I HAVE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE (AT ANY SPEED) AND THEN TRY TO REACCELERATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE SEE THE POSTING AT AUDIWORLD (THE LARGEST ONLINE FORUM FOR AUDI OWNERS).
