ON DECEMBER 3RD, 2010, I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I-405S HEADING FROM LONG BEACH, CA TO SAN DIEGO, CA. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION IN MY CAR. I STILL HAD ELECTRICAL POWER (IE, INDICATORS STILL WORKED, MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION WORKED AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS WORKED). I PULLED STRAIGHT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AT WHICH POINT I NOTICED THAT THE HOOD OF MY CAR APPEARED TO BE MELTING AND THAT SMOKE WAS RISING OUT OF THE ENGINE. I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR AND RAN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CALL 911. TWO GRACIOUS STRANGERS ATTEMPTED WITH TWO SEPARATE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS TO PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT WERE UNABLE TO. THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ENTIRELY CONSUMED BY FLAMES WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EMTS ARRIVED, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS AFLAME AND WAS NO LONGER SALVAGEABLE. IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES FOR THE ENTIRE CAR TO GO UP IN FLAMES. ALL THAT REMAINED ONCE THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT WAS THE REAR-HATCHBACK DOOR. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY MELTED AND BURNED. THE STATE TROOPER WHO WAS AT THE SCENE OF THE INCIDENT SAID THAT THE CAR WAS SO BADLY BURNT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HARD TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR AFTER THE FIRE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE THEM IF NEEDED. THE FIRE WAS SO FAST, HOT AND QUICK THAT IT WAS ONLY 30 MINUTES FROM WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO PULL OVER, TO THE END OF THE ENTIRE ORDEAL. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR SPEAKERS WORKING RANDOMLY AND CUTTING OUT ALL TOGETHER AT TIMES, SOMETIMES WITH STATIC PRIOR TO CUTTING OUT. SO FAR THE SPEAKERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON OCT 2 2004,NOV 2 2004, NOV 15, 2004,DEC 7 2004. THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND IN 2 SECONDS I FOUND THE ISSUE. IT IS A BROKEN WIRE IN THE DOOR PASS THROUGH. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S NOT A BROKEN WIRE BECAUSE THEY TESTED ALL THE WIRES AND THEY CHECKED OUT OK. IF THE SPEAKER IS NOT WORKING OR CUTTING OUT WITH THE DOOR OPEN AND YOU MOVED THE RUBBER PASS THROUGH, THE SPEAKER COMES BACK ON AND WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME AGAIN. DEALER HAS PERFORMED THE RECALL FOR THIS ON NOV 2 2004 BUT THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE. I STOPPED HAVING THEM TRY TO FIX THIS WHEN THE FACTORY WARRANTY RAN OUT BECAUSE OF THE COST INVOLVED. *TR

UPON OPENING THE HOOD, DISCOVERED A SMALL FIRE ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. DEALER REPORTS THAT THE FIRE STARTED BECAUSE OF A COIL FAILURE. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO PLASTIC MANIFOLD COVER, BECAUSE FIRE WAS PUT OUT EARLY. *JB

WE HAVE A 2002 AUDI A4 1.8L WITH 16,700 MILES ON IT (VERY VERY LOW MILEAGE). AT 16,700 MILES, THE WATER PUMP (ACCORDING TO THE DEALER) WENT BAD ... FOR THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE VERY VERY LOW USAGE, I SIMPLY FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN GEORGIA AVENUE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO RIDE VERY ROUGH, A DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE LOST COMPLETE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR UP AGAIN AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWN HILL TO MY HOME. (THE CAR IS A 5-SPEED) SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. I CALLED THE DEALER IN ROCKVILLE AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A COIL FAILURE. I HAD JUST HAD A COIL REPLACED IN FEBRUARY, WHEN A SIMILAR TYPE THING HAPPENED ON CONNECTICUT AVE. DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THAT TIME I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION. THE CAR DIED WITH NO PREVIOUS WARNING. ALL FOUR COILS HAVE BEEN REPLACED (4 CYLINDER) WITH NO REIMBURSEMENT FROM AUDI BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I ASKED THE DEALER WHETHER THIS WAS ONE OF THE RECALL ITEMS THAT AUDI PUT NOTICE OUT ON AND THEY SAID NO. NOW THAT I READ THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR A4S IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY AUDI. AFTER ALL, MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT AUDI CHANGED THE COIL SYSTEM ON THE NEWER MODELS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

CAR JERKS THEN SHUTS OFF ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR AFTER CHANGING GEARS. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN ON AN INCLINED STREET, THE CAR STARTS TO ROLL BACK, JERKS AFTER ACCELERATION, THEN CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. AFTER IT SHUTS OFF, IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO TURN BACK ON AND ONLY TO FIND THE CHECK ENGINE AND EPC LIGHT ON. IT'S COME TO THE POINT WHERE I'M TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN VEHICLE. *TR

2002 AUDI A4 1.8T, TRANSMISSION CTV, THE CAR HAS 75,000 MILES EVERYTHING WORKS IN THE CAR WITH SOME MINOR STUFF, BUT THE TRANSMISSION START TO JERK WHEN STOP IN A RED LIGHT, IS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE, IT WANT TO MOVE THE FORWARD, SO I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE HARD SO IT DOESN'T MOVE. IT STARTS TO GET DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THAT KIND OF CONDITION. THIS IS THE SECOND AUDI I OWN AND THAT?S A SHAME THAT SO GOOD QUALITY CAR HAS THIS KIND OF PROBLEM AND THE DEALERS AND AUDI USA DON?T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YOU SPEND 30 THOUSAND OF DOLLARS AND YOU HAVE TO THROW YOUR CAR AWAY BECAUSE THE FIX COST MORE THAN WHAT YOUR CAR IS WORTH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND INSTANTLY CAME TO A STOP. THE CONTACT HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 97,000.

MY 2002 AUDI A4 HAS A DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS DEFECT RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF MY ABILITY TO PUT THE GEAR IN REVERSE (AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE PAST MONTH ( WHICH IS WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED). I WAS FACED WITH A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE WHERE I NEEDED TO REVERSE IN ORDER TO AVOID A BUS FROM HITTING MY CAR WHILE IT WAS TURNING ONTO THE ROAD I WAS STOPPED AT. THE REVERSE DID NOT WORK, AND IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. I QUICKLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO REVERSE AND LUCKILY (THAT TIME) IT WORKED. I NOTICED THAT WHEN MY CAR DOESN'T REVERSE THE PRND FLASHES ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR AUDI A4'S. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY ERROR THAT AUDI HAS NOT RECALLED. MY MECHANIC CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILING AND SAID IT WILL GET WORSE OVER TIME. I CALLED MY LOCAL AUDI DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
14 complaints
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST RAINFALL IN MY OWNERSHIP WITH THIS VEHICLE, BOTH HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. AUDI HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A CONVENIENCE ISSUE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR
Apr 10, 2012
AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES THE LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DASH AND THE LEFT (DRIVER SIDE) HEADLIGHT WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND THEN GO OUT COMPLETELY. TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES WILL GET IT TO COME ON AGAIN BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE LIGHTS ARE A REQUIRED SAFETY ITEM ON ALL VEHICLES AND IT IS A TICKETABLE ITEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FROM AUDI AS NONE OF THE DEALERS SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THE ITEM WITHOUT HAVING YOU SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO SWAP OUT PARTS UNTIL YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT MIGHT STOP IT. MOST BLOGS HAVE SAID THAT THE DEALER CAN NEVER FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AFTER THEY HAVE SPENT $2-3K AND FINALLY GAVE UP AND ARE DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT 1 OR MORE HEADLIGHTS. *TR
Jan 09, 2012
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATED ON AND OFF BEFORE FAILING COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 143,000.
Nov 28, 2011
NO KNOWN EVENTS LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE. THE MESSAGE "LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT" APPEARS AND THE LEFT HEADLIGHT STOPS WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN AUDI A4 OF MODEL YEAR 2002-06. *TR
Oct 24, 2010
THE HEADLIGHTS FOR THE 2002-2005(6) AUDI A4 WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF AND OFTEN TURN OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY ANN ACCIDENT OR IMPROPER CARE BUT RATHER FAULTY MANUFACTURING. IT IS VERY COMMON WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHEN THIS PROBLEM BEGINS IT WILL TYPICALLY OCCUR REGULARLY (EVERY USE OF THE VEHICLE). REPLACING THE BULBS DOES NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS INHERENT IN THE IGNITER WHICH AUDI CHARGES APPROXIMATELY $600. *TR

TIRES
7 complaints
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 AUDI A4 EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TIRES, SIZE: 225/45R17. WHILE PARKED, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAD TREAD SEPARATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DOT NUMBER AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
Jan 13, 2015
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A DRY AND FLAT INTERSTATE, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH A MEDIAN. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE WHOLE SIDEWALL HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD, AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAD SMALL SPOTS WHERE THE TREAD JOINED THE SIDEWALL. A DONUT TIRE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE TIRE. ON 09/18/06, THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A TIRE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO AGREED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE BUT OFFERED NO RESOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT THE DEFECTIVE TIRES BE SENT IN FOR INSPECTION AND THAT 4 NEW TIRES SHOULD BE PURCHASED. THE TIRES WERE REGULARLY CHECKED FOR CORRECT PRESSURE, AND ROTATED ON TIME. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL BULGING IN THE TIRES. PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SIDEWALLS ON THE FRONT DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRES WERE CRACKED.
Sep 29, 2006
3 OF 4 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE-950 TIRES, SIZE 235/45/R17 93H TIRES HAVE EXPERIENCED DELAMINATION OF THE TREAD ON THE INSIDE WEAR EDGE; ALIGNMENT ON MY AUDI A4 HAS BEEN VERIFIED TO MEET MANUFACTURER SPEC, YET THE INSIDE EDGES OF THE TIRES HAVE BROKEN OPEN TO EXPOSE LAYERS OF TIRE AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE HAS BEEN BREACHED. IN ONE CASE, A 8 INCH BY 1/2 INCH BY 1/2 INCH SECTION COMPLETELY GAVE WAY AND FLEW OFF THE TIRE. THESE TIRES WERE DISCONTINUED BY BRIDGESTONE AND I NOW KNOW WHY. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH BRIDGESTONE G09'S AND I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM REOCCUR. NOTE, SYSTEM WILL NOT ACCEPT AUDI A4 AS VEHICLE TYPE, SO I USED TOYOTA; I DO HAVE A 3.0L A4 QUATTRO. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAD TWO TIRE FAILURES WITHIN THE LAST ELEVEN MONTHS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY HE WAS HAVING TIRE FAILURE. MICHELIN, PRIMACY, SIZE IS 235/4517. ON JUNE 24,2004, THE CONSUMER NOTICED A LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE WHICH WAS ABOUT 1LB OR 2 EVERY MONTH. THE PROBLEM WAS UNABLE TO BE FIGURED OUT. WHILE REPLACING THE VALVE STEM, ALONG WITH PLACING THE TIRE BACK ON THE RIM WHILE TRYING TO RE-INFLATE THE TIRE, THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE BLISTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE TIRE WAS SENT TO MICHELIN FOR EVALUATION. THERE WAS A TINY LEAK IN THE TIRE, BUT THAT WASN'T ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE BLISTER, REEVALUATION COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY THE TIRE BLISTERED. THE REPLACEMENT TIRE FAILED ON 5-25-2005 WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AND THE TIRE WALL BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE. AMERICA TIRE COMPANY ANALYZED THE TIRE, AND NO CAUSE FOR THE TIRE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED. ALSO, THIS TIRE WAS SENT FOR EVALUATION AND THE CONSUMER HAS NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. HE TRIED TO FIND OUT FROM TIRE MANUFACTURER AND AUDI ABOUT THE RECALLS, AND THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION. *AK *SC *JB

I AM ADDING TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT [ODI 768857 - REF 704187] REPORTING 2 GOODYEAR SIDE WALL TIRE FAILURES. I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED A 3RD SIDE WALL BUBBLE AND FAILURE. AGAIN THERE IS NO RIM DAMAGE AND PROPER TIRE PRESSURES HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN OPERATED OFF ROAD. I'M CAUGHT BETWEEN AUDI WHICH TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TIRES ON THEIR CARS AND GOODYEAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD TIRE FAILURES ON ANY OF THE OTHER 5 CARS WE OWN AND CONTINUE TO BE SURE THAT THIS MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM CAUSED BY WEAK SIDE WALLS.

I BOUGHT A CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN RENTON WA. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR WENT BY I NOTICED THAT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE TITLE. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO CONTACT DMV. TALKED TO A PERSON IN THE RENTON OFFICE AND TWICE TO THE COVINGTON OFFICE. THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO PAY A 39 DOLLAR CHARGE TO GET A TITLE. DECIDED TO MAYBE TRADE THE CAR IN AND FOUND OUT THE FRAME WAS BENT. I ALREADY SPENT 1200 DOLLARS FOR PARTS MISSING ON THE CAR. NOW ANOTHER PART IS AD AT ANOTHER 1500 DOLLARS TO MAKE THE AIR WORK. APPARENTLY THE CAR HAD BEEN CRASHED AND PICKED BACK TOGETHER JUST TO OFF IT. COMPLAINED A OUT PARTS MISSING AND THEY AGREED TO GIVE ME 400 DOLLARS FOR THE FIRST PROBLEM. NEVER DID SEE THE MONEY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A TOTAL REFUND OF THE DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT THEY GAVE ME FOR THE CAR AFTER THE 25000 DOLLARS THEY GAVE ME FOR THE TRUCK LOAD I TRADED IN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES TO STOP AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY SO THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THIS FAILURE WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE FLOOR MAT HAD BECOME CAUGHT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT HAD NOT HAPPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,600.

WHILE TRAVELING 15-20 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AND HIT A SMALL TREE TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP. VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY DEALER/MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND DETERMINED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID THAT THIS VEHICLE MIGHT DO THE SAME THING AGAIN, AND DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *AK

MULTIPLE CASES OF UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION IN 2002 AUDI A4. 2 CASES LAST YEAR I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. ALL THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN MOMENTARY LASTING LESS THAN A SECOND. ALL CASES WERE AFTER I ACCELERATED, THE PEDAL WOULD NOT COME BACK. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER WHO CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY HAVE DOCUMENTED THE PROBLEM THOUGH. MY LAST TIME IN I DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF USING THE LEMON LAW. I FINALLY HAD AN ACCIDENT LAST FRIDAY EVENING PULLING OFF FROM A LIGHT WHEN THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY BRAKED AND MY CAR KEPT GOING. *JB
Mar 28, 2003
THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS A LAG IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED THERE IS A MOMENT WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS THEN, A SECOND LATER THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY RAPIDLY. THIS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WHERE YOUR FOOT GOES FROM THE BRAKE TO THE THROTTLE FREQUENTLY. MY WIFE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS DELAY; SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE, WHEN AN OPENING APPEARED, SHE DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND FOR A MOMENT NOTHING HAPPENED, THEN THE CAR FINALLY GOES AND PUTS HER RIGHT INTO THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD THE ONCOMING CAR NOT BRAKED, SHE FEELS SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT A CONVENIENCE ISSUE. I CONTACTED AUDI VIA E-MAIL TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIC AND ROAD TEST WHICH I DID. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CAR IS "OPERATING WITHIN MANUFACTURER'S SPECS'' AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHEN I FOLLOWED UP WITH AUDI THEY CONCURRED WITH THE DEALER AND AGAIN STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I LOGGED-ON TO AN AUDI ALLROAD FORUM(AUDIWORLD.COM) AND MANY OTHER ALLROAD OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND GETTING THE SAME RESULTS WHEN THEY CONTACT AUDI, WHICH IS NO AKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM. SOME OWNERS REPORT TO HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS. MANY OWNERS FEEL IT IS THE DRIVE BY WIRE ACCELERATOR WHILE OTHERS FEEL IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. EITHER WAY IT IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY AUDI .

UNEXPLAINED ACCELLERATION FOR 1/2 MILE SERIOUS SAFETY WHILE NO ONE WAS INJURED OR PHYSICALLY HARMED, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IN FACT MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING THE CAR WAS ABLE TO AVOID A LOADED SCHOOL BUS BEFORE SHE WAS ABLE TO FIND A SPOT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND DISABLE THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS TOWED TO AUDI DEALER. DEALER UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED ACCELLERATION. ACTUALLY THE REPRESENTATIVE IMPLIED THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITHOUT A COMPUTER CODE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK OLD. PRIMARY DRIVER IS JOAN ASHMAN WHO IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. SINCE SERVICE HAS NOT FOUND ANYTHING THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. DEAL MANAGEMENT HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH US. I HAVE CALLED AN LEFT A MESSAGE FOR GENERAL MANAGER TO CALL. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI CUSTER RELATIONS AND FILLED A REPORT. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO INVESTIGET TO RESOLVE OUR SAFTEY CONCERN WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.*AK

I AM WRITING REGARDING A SAD STORY ABOUT MY 2002 AUDI A4 QUATTRO 3.0 SEDAN . WHILE I REALIZE THAT THE CAR IS NOT NEW, AND WITH 152,000 MILES ON THE ROAD; I AM STILL DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SERIES OF EVENTS THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME, NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE NOW! ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AS I TURNED THE ENGINE ON, I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING LIKE SOMETHING HAD BEEN HIT AND FALLEN APART IN THE ENGINE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (FLASHING). I TOOK IT TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC. AT THIS POINT, I AM THINKING THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH A COIL ? BUT NOT REALLY SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NOT THAT LONG AGO, MIGHT I ADD! WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE MECHANIC HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM CAMSHAFT ADJUSTERS. ONCE THEY OPENED THE CASE, THEY FOUND SCREWS LOSE THAT HAD LITERALLY FALLEN OFF AND BROKEN. THE CAMSHAFT ADJUSTMENT HOUSING WAS ALSO DAMAGED, AMONGST OTHER PARTS (I HAVE PICTURES). HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE? AFTER ALL, THE BOLTS ARE ENCASED, AND IT IS NOT LIKE ANYONE MESSED WITH THEM. THE SAD PART IS THAT THE SAME HAD HAPPENED ON THE OTHER SIDE A YEAR AGO. *TR

FAILURE OF ENGINE IGNITION COILS ,CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER, AND CREATES SURGING AND SHAKING OF VEHICLE, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS FAILURE OF 2 OF 4 ENGINE COILS. THESE WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER RECALL. CONTACTED AUDI, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE SATISFACTORY ANSWER. THEY WILL NOT COVER REPAIR, AND THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS NOT A PART THAT REQUIRED REGULAR REPLACEMENT AND WILL NOT STATE WHAT THE LIFE OF THE COILS SHOULD BE. *AK
Mar 24, 2007
THE IGNITION COIL MADE THE VEHICLE RIDE ROUGH. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND CUT OFF. THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE 1 OUT OF 6 COILS. *TS THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FIVE MILES AND THE A SECOND COIL FAILED. AUDI REPLACED ALL SIX COILS THEN THE REMAINING FIVE WERE "J" COILS. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED REPEATEDLY BY FATHER'S & SONS, BUT THEY HAD NOT COMPLETED THE REPAIR. ALL OF THE OXYGEN SENSORS AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD BEEN REPLACED. (SOME TWICE) THE OTHER EMISSION PARTS WERE REPLACED. THE SERVICE DEALER DID NOT GIVE THE CONSUMER THE PAPER WORK BECAUSE AUDI DID NOT PAY THE FULL COST FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *SCC *JB

1/10/2003--TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED BECAUSE OF A ROUGH IDLE AND TROUBLE STARTING. THE DEALER FOUND NO INITIAL PROBLEMS. 2/5/2003--RECEIVED NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM AUDI CONCERNING THE POSSIBILITY OF BAD COIL PACKS ON 2002 A4'S. 2/7/2003--THE CAR STALLED ON US AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. IT TOOK ME AT LEAST A MINUTE TO GET IT RESTARTED--THAT MAY NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH, BUT YOU SHOULD TRY TURNING OFF YOUR CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND WAIT 60 SECONDS BEFORE RESTARTING & TAKING OFF. SEE HOW MAY PEOPLE START HONKING AND/OR ALMOST HIT YOU BEFORE YOU MOVE.... 2/8-2/11/03--THE DEALER CHECKS THE CAR OVER. THEY SAY THE COIL PACKS ARE FINE, BUT THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS BAD, SO THEY REPLACED IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, SINCE THE CAR STILL IDLES ROUGH, AND STILL HAS TROUBLE STARTING. LUCKILY, IT HASN'T DIED ON US AGAIN (YET). *NLM

ON 3-25- I BOUGHT A 2002 AUDI A4 QUATTRO FROM A LOCAL USED CAR DEALER. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR COULD NOT PASS INSPECTION.THE SELLER ASSURED ME THAT THE CAR WOULD PASS INSPECTION AFTER HE CHANGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE HELD ONTO THE CAR AND A WEEK LATER I GOT IT BACK AND THE INSPECTION STICKER WAS AFFIXED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER WHILE DRIVING THE CAR 20 MPH DOWN THE STREET OF DRACUT, MA THE REAR DRIVER'S-SIDE REAR WHEEL FELL OFF. THE DRACUT POLICE RESPONDED AND DOCUMENTED THE INCIDENT. THEY CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE SELLER. HE SUGGESTED THAT HIS MECHANIC HAD FAILED TO TIGHTEN THE LUG NUTS AFTER DOING BRAKE WORK ON THE REAR BRAKES... THE WHEEL WAS RE-ATTACHED BY THE SELLER (OR HIS MECHANIC). A FEW DAYS LATER THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME BACK ON SINCE THE AFTER-MARKET CONVERTER FAILED AND THE CAR COULD NOT PASS INSPECTION. ON ANOTHER OCCASION THE ENGINE SPLASHGUARD FELL OFF THE CAR OUTSIDE THE DOOR OF THE SELLER. I LEFT THE CAR THERE. THE SPLASHGUARD WAS RE-ATTACHED BY THE SELLER OR HIS MECHANIC (WITH PLASTIC TIES, SINCE HE CLAIMED HE DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS ... EVEN THOUGH HE HAD MY CAR FOR OVER 24 HRS!). WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THIS OCCURRED? IN BOTH CASES I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR INJURED, AND OTHER PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR INJURED AS WELL. I QUESTION IF THESE ARE "ISOLATED" INCIDENTS, AND IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PATTERN OF DECEPTIVE AND UNFAIR PRACTICES WHICH ARE PLACING THE CITIZENRY HEALTH AND SAFETY AT RISK? I SUBSEQUENTLY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLER AND DEMANDED A REFUND UNDER THE MA LEMON LAW WARRANTY. I WAS REFUNDED MY PURCHASE PRICE. THE SELLER HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME MY "INCIDENTAL COSTS" AS REQUIRED BY THIS LAW. I HAVE SENT THE SELLER A DEMAND LETTER AND WILL PURSUE THE MATTER IN COURT IF HE DOES NOT REIMBURSE THE MONEY I LOST - A SUM O $1738.37. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH DOWNHILL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS IN PRODUCTION TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V157000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) BEING ISSUED; THEREFORE, HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 80,000.

THE FRONT SEAT (DRIVER SIDE) BACK PANEL PLASTIC CLIPS BROKE AND THE WHOLE BACK PANEL LOOSE OFF. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE ANOTHER PLASTIC CLIPS ONCE BUT IT BROKE AGAIN.
Apr 06, 2006
THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION IS CONTROLLED BY MOTORS, CONTROLLED BY 3 CONTROLS ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT. THE MOTORS MOVE AT RANDOM, BOTH WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND WHILE IT'S PARKED (NO KEY, NO PERSON IN VEHICLE). THE FIRST OCCURRENCES INVOLVED THE SEAT BACK MOVING BACK AND FORTH. THIS WAS AN INCONVENIENCE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND CHOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE IT. THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED IN SEVERITY AND NOW THE SEAT ITSELF MOVES BACK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I AM 5' TALL - IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH MOVEMENT FOR MY FEET TO COME OFF THE PEDALS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AND BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IF THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT, LEAVING ME AT RISK. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND PERSISTENT - THERE IS NO SINGLE DATE ON WHICH IT OCCURS/OCCURRED. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT ALSO APPEARS TO BE MOVING, WHICH MEANS ALL THREE MOTORS/CONTROLS ARE MOVING ON THEIR OWN. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2002 3.0 A4 QUATTRO ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. A MONTH AFTER BUYING IT THE LEFT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. WHEN YOU START THE CAR IT GIVES YOU A "LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT" WARNING AND THEN HAS A PICTURE OF A BULB WITH AN X ACROSS IT. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND ENDED UP BUYING A NEW BULB FOR IT. TURNS OUT THE BULB WASN'T OUT AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF IN ABOUT A WEEK. THE LIGHT WORKED FINE AFTER THAT. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO I INSTALLED AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS. THEY WORKED PERFECTLY UP UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. NOW I AM GETTING THE SAME "LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT" WARNING WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHTS. THIS ONLY AFFECTS THE LOW BEAMS. THE PARKING LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS WORK JUST FINE. I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF AS IT DID LAST TIME, BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE. I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY AUDI OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND NOBODY HAS FOUND A FIX FOR IT. REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THEY TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP OR REPLACE THE BULBS, THE PROBLEM STILL RETURNS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 AUDI A4. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE GRINDING NOISE PERSISTED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WORSENED WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. THE FLUID WAS REFILLED AND THE GRINDING NOISE CEASED. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER, THE NOISE RETURNED AND WAS WORSE THAN EVER. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE STEERING WAS DEFECTIVE, WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

OUT OF CONTROL EXPERIENCE DUE TO UNWANTED ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE ENGINE REVVED PAST THE REDLINE, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AND WE ALMOST DID NOT MAKE THE TURN INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. EVEN WHEN WE PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL,THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP REVVING. WE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON AND TRIED THE ENGINE AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE THE ENGINE REV THROUGH THE REDLINE WHEN ONLY THE BRAKE PEDAL (AND NOT THE GAS) WAS ENGAGED. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND PUSHED IT TO A SAFE LOCATION WHERE WE LEFT IT, AND CALLED THE POLICE (WHO WOULD NOT MAKE AN INCIDENT REPORT) AND LEFT A MESSAGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. *PH

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 8 TIMES FOR MISFIRING OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. NOT ONE ATTEMPT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. ON ANOTHER, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR. ON ANOTHER, THE CAR REPROGRAMMED THE KEYS AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO START THE CAR. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED WHILE PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE. AUDI IN MIAMI, FL AND IN ALEXANDRIA, VA HAVE FAILED TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND HAVE "NEVER HEARD" OF SUCH COMPLAINTS. DESPITE THESE PROBLEMS, AUDI CONSUMER RELATIONS REFUSES TO REPLACE THE CAR AND THEREFORE, I AM FORCED TO FILE UNDER FLORIDA LEMON LAW. THIS IS A DISGRACE ON BEHALF OF AUDI AND BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND AUDI ON THE CORPORATE LEVEL, I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUDI NOR RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY ELSE. *JB
