THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH AUDI. THEY REFUSE TO RECALL, BUT I WANTED TO JUST ADD TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE HAVING AN ISSUE HERE. THE GAUGES ARE FLICKERING (GAUGE CLUSTER). THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I HAVE A 2001 AUDI TT. I BOUGHT IT THREW A DEALERSHIP OUT OF STATE ONLINE. WENT AND PICK IT UP AND WAS FINE BUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS WENT BY AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL NO GAS GAUGE SPEEDOMETER TEMPERATURE GAUGE OR DASH LIGHTS. THEY WILL GO OUT JUST RIDING UP THE ROAD AND DOES IT MORE SINCE ITS COLDER WEATHER SO I STARTED LOOKING IN TO THIS MATTER AND THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH AUDI AND I THINK THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT AND PLUS ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ME THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

AUDI TT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWS ABNORMAL TEMPERATURE READING, WHEN ACTUAL TEMPERATURE IS FINE (REPORTED THROUGH AIR CONDITIONING DIAGNOSTIC CODE 49C). DEALER REPAIRED DEAD CLUSTER IN 2002, AND INSTALLED A STILL DEFECTIVE CLUSTER THAT SHOWS WRONG TEMPERATURE. I LATER BECAME AWARE THAT THE NEW CLUSTER IS ALSO FAULTY. DEALER QUOTES APPROX $1000 FOR REPAIR. AUDI CORP REFUSES FREE REPAIR. *TR

PURCHASED A 2001 AUDI TT 225 COUPE ON OCTOBER 2000, EIGHT YEARS LATER AND ONLY 69700 MILES,TIMING BELT FAILS CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. AUGUST 2008 AUDI SENT OUT A LETTER ACKNOWLEDGING A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING BELT BUT SINCE IT WAS NOT A RECALL I PAID ONLY A SMALL ATTENTION TO IT. BESIDES ALL THIS CLEARLY THE DESIGN OF THE TIMING BELT IS FAULTY OR INADEQUATE TO BE USED ON A SPORTS CAR!!! *TR

Nov 20, 2008

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 AUDI TT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE'S TIMING BELT FAILS WITHOUT NOTICE AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STOP. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE TIMING BELT AT 65,000 MILES. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 85,000.

Jul 03, 2007

(1) EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF MY TIMING BELT WERE NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, IE NO SOUNDS, SMELLS, OR VISUAL DAMAGE. (2) ON 01/15/2007, MY TIMING BELT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD, AS WELL AS OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE. (3) LAST YEAR, AUDI CHANGED THE TIME/MILEAGE NEEDED IN ORDER TO CHANGE TIMING BELT FROM 106,000(AS STATED IN THE OWNER MANUAL, OF THE AUDI TT) TO 60,000-70,000, ACCORDING TO AN EMPLOYEE, I SPOKE WITH. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF ANY NOTICES; MAIL, E-MAIL, OR PHONE, WERE SENT OUT, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS, "NO. BECAUSE MANY CUSTOMER HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIMING BELTS BREAKING AT AN EARLY STAGE, WE LET THEM KNOW AS THEY COME IN FOR SERVICE." I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON, 1/19/2007. AND ALSO CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA, IN WHICH, HAD ME TO PROVIDE THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE WITH MY AUTOMOBILES VIN NUMBER. *JB

Mar 28, 2007

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WITHOUT WARNING, AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER FAILED CAUSING A CYLINDER HEAD FAILURE.

Mar 22, 2006

I OWN A 2001 AUDI TT CONVERTIBLE WITH THE 1.8 TURBO ENGINE (180HP). ON FEBRUARY 22ND, THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND THE ENGINE WAS SEVERLY DAMAGED. THE REPAIRS COST ME $3650 ALONG WITH A RENTAL CAR BILL OF $450. SINCE MY CAR HAD 47,200 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I ATTEMPTED TO GET AUDI OF NORTH AMERICA TO PAY FOR THE REPARIS BUT THEY REFUSED. THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MAINTAINANCE MANUAL SPECIFIES THAT THE TIMING BELT SHOULD BE CHANGE AT 120,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO AUDI, TO THE AUDI TT, OR TO THE 1.8 T ENGINE AS I FOUND OUT FROM THE LARGE NUMBER OF ONLINE POSTINGS BY OTHER AUDI OWNERS. *NM

Oct 09, 2003

WE HAVE OWNED THIS TT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 2 VERY SERIOUS TIRE BLOWOUTS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. WE ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON WELL-MAINTAINED SURFACE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS (NO BACK-COUNTRY DRIVING, NO OFF-ROADING). ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE NOT CHANGING LANES, DID NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES, OR DOING ANY EVASIVE MANUEVERS WHEN BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES. AS WE HAVE NOW HAD TWO CLOSE CALLS, IT HAS MADE US VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS TIRE'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. ALL CALLS TO AUDI DEALERSHIPS AND BRIDGESTONE RETAILERS HAVE BEEN MET WITH LITTLE SUPPORT OR DESIRE TO INVESTIGATE. ONE MORE THING, WE HAVE A THIRD TIRE (RIGHT FRONT) THAT IS STARTING TO BUBBLE ON THE SIDE WALL. (DOT NUMBER: EJH8CFE220 TIRESIZE: 225/45 R17)

Jan 12, 2002

THESE TIRES KEEPING BLOWING OUT ON ME - THIS IS THE THIRD ONE IN FIVE MONTHS. THIS PRESENTS A HUGE LIABILITY AND AUDI REFUSES TO REPLACE THESE OBVIOUSLY BAD TIRES WITH NEW ONES FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. I HAVE REQUESTED PIRELLI ALL SEASON TIRES WHICH ARE FAR MORE APPROPRIATE TO HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. *AK

Oct 17, 2001

ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, I HAVE SUFFERED TIRE FAILURES. AUDI CLAIMS IT IS GOODYEAR'S PROBLEM. GOODYEAR CLAIMS IT IS AUDI'S USE OF LOW ASPECT TIRES IN AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. THE FAILURE OF 4 TIRES IN 17,000 MILES IS UNLIKELY TO BE COINCIDENCE AND MUST REPRESENT A FAULT IN EITHER TIRE OR VEHICLE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DESIGN FAILURE. *AK (TIRESIZE: 225/55/17)

POWER TRAIN

While driving on a city street in Ann Arbor Michigan, the manual transmission shift lever snapped off. The lever detached at the base right above the spring assembly that allows the shifter to be moved into reverse. I was stuck in third gear and had to feather the clutch and keep the revs high in order to get through a traffic light and pull into a parking garage. The part required a complete replacement (completed myself).

VEHICLE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS ON A VERY COLD DAY (15 DEGREES). STARTED CAR AND LET VEHICLE WARM UP. THEN I STARTED HOME. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES ON DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET THE CAR INTO ANOTHER GEAR. I FINALLY NOTICED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS NOT RETRACTING COMPLETELY. I HAD TO USE MY FOOT TO BRING THE PEDAL UP TO ITS NORMAL NON-DEPRESSED POSITION. *CB

Jan 15, 2004

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UNPREDICTABLY PARTICULARLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED. THE RESULT IS UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION, SOMETIMES VERY SLOW, SOMETIMES VERY FAST. THIS MAKES FOR A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. AUDI REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH MANY OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS. AT 30 K MILES BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR RECALL OF CLUSTER, PROBLEM FIXED FOR ABOUT 500 MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS 31K MILES LIGHT IS STILL ON. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MOST EARLY AUDI TT FROM 2000 TO 2004 AND SOME AFTER. NO ONE HAS MENTIONED A VALID SOLUTION ONLY THAT THEY KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY AND ONLY HAVING A SHORT TERM FIX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND AUDI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO RESOLVE. DRIVERS DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK PROPERLY DURING A CRASH. *TR

IN ADDITION, THE DIAGNOSTIC INDICATED OTHER SAFETY COMPONENTS NOT AVAILABLE TO THIS MAKE AND MODEL AS MALFUNCTIONING. AIR BAG MODULAR IS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS. WITHOUT REPLACEMENT OF AIR BAG MODULAR, THE AIR BAG(S) WILL NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER WILL NOT WORK PRESENTING THE POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER. *NM

MY 2001 AUDI TT ROADSTERS AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING A DIRECT FRONTAL COLLISION. THE COLLISION FORCE WAS ENOUGH TO SHEAR THE ALUMINUM BUMPER REINFORCEMENT IN THE MIDDLE AS WELL AS WRAP THE RADIATOR AROUND THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN FOR REPAIRS WHICH NOW TOTAL OVER $13,000. IN EARLY 2003 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. ON THE THIRD (3RD) VISIT THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. I AM CONCERNED THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM FAILURE?*AK

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AND IS BROUGHT TO A FULL STOP. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE REMAINS AT IDLE FROM BETWEEN 1 TO 3 SECONDS AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. DURING THIS TIME FRAME, THE FOOT REMAINS DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND NOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ONCE THE ENGINE RPMS DO INCREASE, THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE HARD (JUMP). SEVERAL INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED WERE THE CAR JUMPED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR DURING THOSE TIMES. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT ONLY EXPERIENCE BY MYSELF, BUT WITH MY WIFE AND A FRIEND (WHO USED TO PERFORM SAFETY TESTS FOR PORSCHE) AND BOTH HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR.

I BROUGHT IT BACK TO ANOTHER DEALER THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IN 2010 I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR A CLUSTER RECALL, THEY REPLACED THE CLUSTER ALL WAS FINE THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATE THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE AIRBAG MODULE. SPENT $1500 TO HAVE THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED ( THINK THIS WAS THE ISSUE ALL ALONG). AFTER HAVING THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED THE SEAT BELT LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON. WAS TOLD IT IS THE CLUSTER. THE CAR HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT THIS WILL BE THE 4TH CLUSTER IN THE CAR. THE DEALER WANTS $1500 TO REPLACE AGAIN WITH NO GUARANTEE. AUDI ACCEPTS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WILL PAY A FEW HUNDRED TOWARDS THE REPAIR. I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ABOUT $1200, I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING THE AUDI MANAGER (#248-754-3686) HANDLING THE CASE AND MY ATTORNEYS OFFICE HAS TRIED CONTACTING THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN ANY CALLS. I AM WITHOUT A SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL HAVE MY GRANDSON IN THE CAR AND NOT KNOW IF HIS SEAT BELT IS PROPERLY ENGAGED, OR IF MY AIRBAG IS WORKING PROPERLY. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE PUT VERY LOW MILES ON THE CAR, HAVE ALWAYS GARAGED IT AND NEVER DROVE IT IN BAD WEATHER AND THE CLUSTER REMAINS AN ISSUE GOING ON THE 4TH ONE. *JS

I HAVE AN 2001 AUDI A8L AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO ME GUARANTEEING A MAINTENANCE FREE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR WITHOUT A COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR CHECKED AS RECOMMENDED BY THE DEALER, SONNONEN MOTORS, AS DIRECTED BY MY OWNERS MANUAL AND FOR ALL PROBLEMS. AT NO TIME WAS I ADVISED OF A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND AT NO TIME DID THERE COMPUTER ANALYSIS REVEAL A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND IN FACT THEY ADVISED ME OF THE FORGOING. THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAINTENANCE FREE AND THAT THEY HAD NOT FOUND ANY PROBLEMS DURING THEIR MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $6,000.00. I HAVE CONTACTED SONNEN, AUDI OF AMERICA, AND AUDI EUROPE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. I HAVE ALSO DONE AN EXHAUSTIVE INTERNET SEARCH AND DO NOT FIND THIS PROBLEM LISTED. *NM

I WAS GETTING INTO MY 2001 AUDI TT COUPE AND COULD NOT LATCH THE SEAT BELT INTO THE BUCKLE. AFTER WORKING WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I FINALLY DROVE HOME AND REMOVED THE SEAT BELT LATCH AND TOOK IT APART. I DISCOVERED THAT A SMALL PLASTIC COMPONENT IN THE BUCKLE HAD BROKEN. I CALLED AUDI ABOUT THIS SINCE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE HOPING THAT THEY MIGHT HELP ME OUT WITH THE REPAIR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD JUST RUN OUT THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT MY EXPENSE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CHARGE $110 FOR THIS PART. *JB

VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD A MAJOR COMPUTER MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE TO ROTATE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK AGAIN CONTINIOUSLY. CLUTHH PEDAL WHEN WET TURNS INTO A SLIPPERY SURFACE DUE TO THE METAL ON THE PEDAL CAUSING THE FOOT TO SLIP OFF. THE SEAT BELT DESIGN FOR THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGERS IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE SEATBELT NOT TO RETRACT. THIS CREATES THE DANGER OF THE SEAT BELT NOT WORKING AS INTENDED.

1 complaint

THIS MODEL CAR IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED TO EXHIBIT UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION WHEN EQUIPED WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.(SEE ALLROAD FORUM ON AUDIWORLD.COM) WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR FROM AN ALMOST STOP THE CAR SOMETIMES PAUSES FOR UP TO 2 SECONDS AND AT OTHER TIMES ACCELERATES QUICKLY. IN MY EXPERIENCE THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR. SOME OF THE CAR MAGAZINES ACTUALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASE OF THIS CAR DUE TO THIS CHARACTERISTIC. AUDI DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM.
