Complaint

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FRONT BUMPER GETS CAUGHT ON CURBS AND WHEEL STOPS IN PARKING LOTS. IT MAKES LITTLE OR NO NOISE AS I PULL IN, BUT WHEN I GO TO PULL OUT IT GETS CAUGHT AND THREATENS TO PULL OFF THE WHOLE LOWER BUMPER COVER. IVE HEARD OF MANY OTHER AUDI OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CAN CAUSE ABOUT $2000 IN DAMAGE IF THE BUMPER COVER IS DAMAGED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR LATER MODEL YEARS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT MY MODEL YEAR IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL. I CURRENTLY HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP, THEY ARE RESECURING MY BUMPER AND RELATED BODY PARTS.# OF OCCURANCES LISTED BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. *AK
