AS DRIVING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET TO HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE LOST POWER WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY TRACTOR TRAILER BECAUSE OF THIS ( HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY). ALSO THE GLOW PLUG INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ( AUDI OF FAIRFIELD CT) THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HPFP METAL SHAVINGS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT MIGHT BE FROM PUTTING GASOLINE INSTEAD OF DIESEL FUEL, BUT I AM SURE I HAVE ALWAYS USED DIESEL AS I KEPT ALL RECEIPTS FROM GASSTATIONS. THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM AT NO COST TO ME, UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT I THINK IT IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO A MAIN ROAD WHEN THE HATCHBACK SPONTANEOUSLY OPENED, I.E. THE CAR WAS MOVING AND THE DOOR TO THE BACK OF THE CAR OPENED ALL BY ITSELF. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY TESTED (IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT) IF THE KEY FOB OR THE DOOR-RELEASE WILL OPERATE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION (I.E. I TESTED TO SEE IF PERHAPS I HAS INADVERTENTLY TRIGGERED THE DOOR OPENING BUTTON)-- AND NEITHER WILL OPEN THE DOOR WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI AND THEIR FIRST RESPONSE WAS THAT I HAD PROBABLY ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE BUTTON, AND THEN THEIR NEXT REPLY WAS THAT WHAT DID I WANT THEM TO DO SINCE THERE WAS LITTLE CHANCE THEY COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I INDICATED THAT THIS CAR WAS ESSENTIALLY UN-USABLE TO ME AT THIS TIME AS I OFTEN HAVE DOGS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR- AND CAN NO LONGER SAFELY USE THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT AT ANY MOMENT THE BACK DOOR WILL OPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING. *TR
