| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | THERE IS A VERY WELL-DOCUMENTED, WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE AUDI TT DASH PANEL, ONE THAT AUDI HAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED. FAILURES INCLUDE (1) A FALSE OR NO VEHICLE SPEED INDICATION (2) A FALSE OR NO ENGINE ROTATIONAL SPEED INDICATION (3) A FALSE ENGINE TEMPERATURE INDICATION (4) A FALSE FUEL LEVEL (5) COMPLETE DEACTIVATION OF ENGINE (6) IMPROPER STATUS OF SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS AIRBAGS, BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, ETC (7) IMPROPER OR FAULTY INDICATION OF ONBOARD COMPUTER FUNCTIONS AND DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAYS. IT IS A SHAME THAT THE US HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFECT A POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM AUDI REGARDING A SAFETY RECALL OF THIS KNOWN, CHRONIC PROBLEM, WHEREAS OTHER COUNTRIES, SUCH AS THE UK, HAVE SUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED FOR ACTION FROM AUDI IN THE FORM OF AN UNCONDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL. HAVING A VEHICLE WITH FIVE OF THE OUTLINED FAILURES OF THE DASHBOARD, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AND URGE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE WHAT OTHERS HAVE DOCUMENTED, NOT ONLY IN NHTSA-FILED COMPLAINTS, BUT FROM THE PLETHORA OF OWNERS WHO HAVE INDICATED ISSUES THROUGH OTHER ONLINE SITES. *TR |
