| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS EVERY 3000 MILES. SOME FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS SUCH AS REPLACING THE STEERING ASSEMBLY AND OTHER TIMES FOR MULTIPLE REPAIRS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS (ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON). *JB |
| 2005 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN MY WORK PARKING LOT WHEN A LOUD BEEP OCCURRED AND MY CAR ISSUED A WARNING FOR "PARKING BREAK MALFUNCTION." TWO LIGHTS, ESC AND ABS ALSO LIT UP WHEN THE BEEP SOUNDED. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING, ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE (WHICH WORKED) AND DISENGAGED IT. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH FOUND THAT THE BRAKE MODULE AND MMI BOTH HAD BEEN UPGRADED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I CONTINUED TO WITNESS THESE SYMPTOMS AND AM WAITING FOR MY DEALERSHIP TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. I HAVE READ ENOUGH CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM TO KNOW THAT AUDI SHOULD TAKE A DEEPER LOOK INTO IT. |
