AUDI A4 1997 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2001.AUDI A4 1997, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . control arm bushing started squeaking indicating failure - did not know that the vehicle's instability at higher speeds and inability to track in a straight line were also due to worn control arm bushings. searched www.audiworld.com site of audi owners, found that numerous owners report driveablilty issues with worn control arm bushings. audi of america and audi dealer states that bushing problem is not a safety issue, however based on the numerous reports on audiworld.com, this is not true. owners report having to change control arms every 35k miles or so at a cost of approximately $1,500 for each side since ther are 4 control arms on each side that cost approximately $300 each plus labor. based on ntsa search, there are a number of complaints of this same problem; what will it take to get a recall of this potentially serious problem? brake problem is only when driving in wet conditions. brakes do not respond normally - apparently water comes in contact with rotors easily. this problem could easily lead to an accident and there are numerous complaints about this in the ntsa database as well. the idle air control valve problem is a reoccurring one where the engine will stall at idle, or will not idle at all. with a manual transmission, this is especially dangerous as the engine sometimes dies when the clutch is depressed as you prepare to stop. obviously this results in a loss of power braking and steering which could cause an accident. please feel free to contact me regarding any or all of these potentially dangerous conditions affecting my car. obviously i would like to see recalls on all three issues and will provide whatever assistance i can to ensure that this happens. thanks.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WAUEA88D3VA.

AUDI A4 1997 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2001.AUDI A4 1997, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM . control arm bushing started squeaking indicating failure - did not know that the vehicle's instability at higher speeds and inability to track in a straight line were also due to worn control arm bushings. searched www.audiworld.com site of audi owners, found that numerous owners report driveablilty issues with worn control arm bushings. audi of america and audi dealer states that bushing problem is not a safety issue, however based on the numerous reports on audiworld.com, this is not true. owners report having to change control arms every 35k miles or so at a cost of approximately $1,500 for each side since ther are 4 control arms on each side that cost approximately $300 each plus labor. based on ntsa search, there are a number of complaints of this same problem; what will it take to get a recall of this potentially serious problem? brake problem is only when driving in wet conditions. brakes do not respond normally - apparently water comes in contact with rotors easily. this problem could easily lead to an accident and there are numerous complaints about this in the ntsa database as well. the idle air control valve problem is a reoccurring one where the engine will stall at idle, or will not idle at all. with a manual transmission, this is especially dangerous as the engine sometimes dies when the clutch is depressed as you prepare to stop. obviously this results in a loss of power braking and steering which could cause an accident. please feel free to contact me regarding any or all of these potentially dangerous conditions affecting my car. obviously i would like to see recalls on all three issues and will provide whatever assistance i can to ensure that this happens. thanks.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WAUEA88D3VA.

AUDI A4 1997 car safety problem was reported on .AUDI A4 1997, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . there have been cracking noises in the front suspension. concerned that something would be breaking, i took the car to a service shop that does work for the audi dealership. they indicated that the cracking was a problem already identified by audi and a kit has been assembled to fix it. when we purchased the audi, we were assured that we had the special audi assured for preowned vehicles. well when we called them to fix the problem. they denied everything and proceeded to tell me that it was wear and tear and therefore i had to pay for it. since when do auto makers issue an alert with a fix it kit for all a4 s from 1996 to 1998 and claim it is the owners fault. this is a design problem that they refuse to acknowledge. i called customer service and they were rude to the point of saying that it isn't their problem. it is mine. i sent a complaint to the nys attorney general's office with assorted attachments and they replied on sept 6, 2002 said that they had forwarded the information on to you and to contact nhtsa if i had not heard something in a reasonable amount of time. it has been 2 months and i have not heard from you. would you please check your records and locate the form from the nys atty gens office and get back to me with some info. i really think audi should pay for these repairs since it is a design or manufacturing defect and not from use by the owners (the previous owner and me). thank you for your anticipated help and thank you for listening to me. dt.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WAUCB88D2VA.

AUDI A4 1997 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2004.AUDI A4 1997, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH . (1)i received a recall notice (le recall) from audi of america on the ignition switch on my 1997 a4 sedan. the recall work was performed on 1/29/03. at that point in time the original ignition switch had been performing correctly for 59 months but i had it replaced because of audi's recommendation; not because it had a malfunction. (2)in july of 2004 the replacement ignition switch failed after approximately 18 months of service. the failure occurred while i was visiting st. augustine, florida. i noticed that the a/c was not blowing cold air. as i was driving back in to the town of st. augustine i heard what sounded like something dragging under the car. i pulled into a parking lot and then found the car would not re-start. i had the car towed to the nearest audi dealer in jacksonville, florida and then rented a car to get back home to tampa, florida. the bill from the jacksonville dealership was $1758 to replace the ignition switch and the starter motor. i also incurred a $150 towing fee and approx $70 rental car fee. (3)after the repairs i contacted audi of america but they said they only warranty replaced parts for 12 months. since this switch lasted 18 months it was my responsibility to pay for the repairs. i contend that audi of america did not correct the defect, in fact, they made it considerably worse. vin of 1997 a4 is [xxx](4) please note: i am also the owner of a 1996 a4 sedan. i will open another incident report for that automobile. *jb updated 07/18/2012 *js *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 88000 miles.

AUDI A4 1997 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2008.AUDI A4 1997, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i received safety recall js for the audi a4 ignition switch in november 2006 and complied with the instructions by bringing the car to the dealer for a replacement switch in january 2007. the dealer did not do the repair because they said my car already had the correct switch. in june 2008, this ignition switch malfunctioned in the exact manner described in the recall. when i started the engine, i heard a crack in the ignition switch and then the electrical components, including dashboard lights, horn, turn signal, windshield wipers, and air conditioning, immediately became inoperative. when i turned off the engine, the key would not return to the off position and had to be pulled out by force and subsequently forced back in to put the car in neutral for the tow truck. i contacted both the dealer and audi customer relations about the problem, but since the recall had been closed by this time, no one was willing to consider the possibility that the repair had not been done properly or that the ignition switch in my car, which they had previously claimed was the correct one, was just as defective as the recalled switch. i brought the car to an independent repair shop and had the switch replaced at my own expense. i asked for reimbursement from audi, but they refused. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 92457 miles.
