| 1997 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK |
| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | IGNITION COIL FAILED CAUSING CAR TO MIS-FIRE, LOSE POWER, AND BECOME SHAKY UNTIL THE COIL IS REPLACED. THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE IGNITION COILS IN 2001 AND 2002 AUDI'S AND VW WITH A 1.8 LITER TURBO ENGINE. VW REPLACED THE ONE FAILING COIL BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE, UNDER WARRANTY, THE REMAIN 3 COILS THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED IN THE PAST FOR SPORADIC MIS-FIRES WHICH MAYBE DUE TO THE REMAINING DEFECTIVE COILS. WITH HALF A MILLION VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING (IE. WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN). VW REFUSES TO COMMIT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COILS UNTIL THEY FAIL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HAVE VW PERFORM A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. |
