ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE IGNITION COILS HAVE FAILED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHICH IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT DANGEROUS AS THE CAR LOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING. AUDI ADMITS THAT THE COILS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE REMAINING THREE UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY FAIL. THIS MAKES THE CAR UNRELIABLE AS WELL AS DANGEROUS AS THE CAR LOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING. AUDI ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE IGNITION COILS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT WILL NOT REPLACED THEM UNTIL THEY FAIL. AS THERE ARE SIX OF THEM ON MY CAR, AUDI ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE REMAINING THREE MAY ALSO FAIL (ONE IGNITION FAILED TWICE SO FOUR MORE MAY FAIL). ACCORDINGLY THE CAR IS UNRELIABLE AS WELL AS DANGEROUS BUT AUDI REFUSES TO PUT IN NON DEFECTIVE IGNITION COILS. *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*****770841****
