AUDI A6 Power Train Automatic Transmission

AUDI A6 2005 Power Train Automatic Transmission Report #10133232

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 24, 2005.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . ON 6/25/05 I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 AUDI A6 3.2 SEDAN FROM AUDI OF OAKLAND CA AND HAVE RECENTLY BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL HAZARD. AUDI NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT THE CONDITION OF MY CONCERN IS COMMON TO ALL AUDI A6 VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. DEPENDING ON THE PARTICULAR DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE CAN TEMPORARILY FAIL TO RESPOND TO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS USUALLY OCCURS AFTER A SHARP DECELERATION FOLLOWED BY AN ATTEMPT TO RESUME SPEED THAT CALLS FOR A CHANGE OF GEARING. WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS THERE IS AN APPROXIMATE ONE TO TWO SECOND DELAY WHEN THERE IS NO ENGINE POWER. AFTER THE DELAY THE ENGINE WILL LURCH IN TO POWER UPON FINDING A LOWER GEAR. THE PROBLEM CAME TO MY NOTICE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE QUICKLY OUT OF AN INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN FROM THE SIDE. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AS FOR THAT BRIEF PERIOD THERE WAS NO ENGINE POWER AND I THOUGHT THAT THE ONCOMING VEHICLE WOULD HIT ME. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD WITH THE DEALER AND WITH AUDI NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEIR REPLY WAS THAT THE RESPONSE DELAY IS ¿�NORMAL OPERATION FOR THE VEHICLE¿� AND FURTHER THAT AUDI DOES NOT CONSIDER A NEED TO REMEDY THIS DESIGN DEFECT. SINCE THEN I HAVE TESTED A NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME CLASS MADE BY OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE THIS DEFECT. I ASK THAT YOU INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT YOU USE YOUR AUTHORITY TO MAKE AUDI FIX THIS DEFECT AND ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND ASSISTANCE. *AK .Mileage was 790 miles.

AUDI A6 Vehicle Speed Control

AUDI A6 2005 Vehicle Speed Control Report #10153237

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on Mar 10, 2006.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY WENT INTO 'FULL THROTTLE MODE'. THE CAR RACED AHEAD AND WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP ONLY WITH EXTREMELY HEAVY APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHILE STOPPED AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE PULLED STRONGLY AT NEARLY 3000 RPM. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE INSTANTLY RACED TO REDLINE (7500 RPM). I DEPRESSED THE 'ENGINE STOP' BUTTON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THIS, NEEDLESS TO SAY, SCATTERED ANY NEARBY PEDESTRIANS---THANKFULLY. I MOVED THE SHIFTER TO 'NEUTRAL' AND THE ENGINE STILL RACED AT REDLINE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO END THIS BY FRISKING MYSELF FOR THE PHYSICAL KEY AND INSERTING IT INTO THE IGNITION AND FINALLY SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. MY NEXT STEP WAS TO CALL AUDI'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS NEARLY BRAND NEW AND DESCRIBE TO THEM THE INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED THAT FRIDAY NIGHT. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR NEARLY A WEEK AND INFORMED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION AND HAVING TESTED IT, THE CAR WAS OPERATING PROPERLY, AND THAT I WAS WELCOME TO COME AND TAKE POSSESSION OF IT AGAIN. I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THEY EITHER HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THEIR CARS AFTER PURCHASE ..... OR THEY THINK THAT I MADE IT UP. NEITHER OF THESE IS AN ACCEPTABLE POSITION. MY ONLY REQUEST WAS THAT THEY RETURN TO ME THE CAR ONLY AFTER ABSOLUTELY ASCERTAINING THE CAUSE OF THE FULL-THROTTLE CONDITION AND REPAIRING IT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO AND NOW FEEL PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY BACK IN IT. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT A 100% CONCLUSIVE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR ---- IF EVER. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 14900 miles.

AUDI A6 2005 Visibility Windshield Wiper/washer Report #10201243

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 30, 2007.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER . IN ORDER TO WASH THE WINDSHIELD OF MY 2005 AUDI A6, I NEED TO LIFT THE WIPERS OFF THE GLASS BUT, ON THE A6, YOU CANNOT LIFT THE WIPERS BECAUSE THEY SET BELOW THE HOOD LINE. THE HOOD BLOCKS MY LIFTING THEM. AUDI PROVIDES A "SERVICE POSITION" FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHICH MOVES THEM A FEW INCHES ALLOWING ME TO LIFT THEM OFF THE WINDSHIELD SO I CAN CLEAN THE GLASS. IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE "SERVICE POSITION" FOR THE WIPERS, I AM REQUIRED TO MOVE THE IGNITION KEY TO "ON." I TURNED THE IGNITION ON, CHOSE THE "SERVICE POSITION" FOR THE WIPERS, HEADED OUT OF THE CAR AND LIFTED THE WIPERS OFF THE WINDOW. THE WIPERS WERE NOW SEVERAL INCHES AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD, OUT IN SPACE, ALLOWING ME TO WIPE THE GLASS EASILY. WHEN I APPLIED MY WINDEX, THE AUTOMATIC SENSOR THAT STARTS THE WIPERS IF IT SENSES RAIN, NOTED THE LIQUID ON THE WINDSHIELD AND BEGAN TO MOVE THE WIPERS BACK AND FORTH EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE STICKING UP AND AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THE MOVEMENT BROUGHT THEM TOWARDS MY HEAD AND I JUST MOVED MY HEAD IN TIME NOT TO BE STRUCK IN THE EYE BY THE WIPERS. SINCE THE CAR REQUIRES THAT I TURN THE IGNITION ON TO ACCESS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS "SERVICE POSITION," THE CHOICE OF "SERVICE POSITION" SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSOR SO THE WIPERS CAN BE HANDLED SAFELY.

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 28, 2007.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK . 1) NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. 2) THE ELECTRONIC TRUNK LATCH FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME THE TRUNK WILL NOT LATCH, MEANING THE CAR IS UNSECURABLE AND THE TRUNK LID WILL FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING EVEN ON MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS NOT ONLY CAN I NOT SECURE MY CAR OR US THE TRUNK, BUT WHEN THE LID FLIES OPEN IT IMPAIRS REARWARD VISIBILITY, BLOCKS THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FOR DRIVERS BEHIND ME, AND DUE TO UNSECURABLE ITEMS PUTS DRIVERS BEHIND ME AT RISK OF ACCIDENT. 3) TOOK THE CAR TO STAMMLER IMPORTS (AUDI DEALER) IN BOULDER CO. THEY STATED "THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM ON ALL OF THE CURRENT AUDI MODELS AND THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FROM GERMANY." THEY ARE UNABLE TO TELL ME EVEN AN APPROXIMATE TIMEFRAME OF WHEN THE CAR MIGHT BE REPAIRED. THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY FIX TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY ISSUES. THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE A LOANER CAR THAT I CAN SAFELY USE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. IT HAS NOW BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS SINCE I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE ISSUE WHICH REMAINS UNRESOLVED. THE DEALER'S CURRENT SOLUTION REMAINS THAT I DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS TRUNK SAFETY ISSUE INDEFINITELY. I ALSO CALLED AUDI AMERICA CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT 800-822-2834 TO HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE NAMED BRANDON. I INFORMED HIM OF THE ONGOING TRUNK SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND EXPRESSED HOW IT ALSO REPRESENTS A HUGE LIABILITY FOR AUDI IF THERE WERE TO BE AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE. HE STATES AT THIS TIME HE IS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN CALL THE DEALER AND ASK FOR MORE INFORMATION. HE STATES HE IS UNABLE TO AUTHORIZE THE DEALER PROVIDE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. HE STATES AUDI AMERICA IS UNABLE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. HE STATES HE IS "IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION AS AUDI AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE MUCH LEVERAGE WITH ITS DEALERS" AND IS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *CN .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43000 miles.

AUDI A6 Vehicle Speed Control

AUDI A6 2005 Vehicle Speed Control Report #10252322

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 05, 2008.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . I DROVE MY AUDI A6 FROM THE TRAIN STATION CARPARK ON TO THE INTERSTATE RAMP AND ACCELERATED ON TO THE HIGHWAY. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT BE PRISED UP WITH MY FOOT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT FULL THROTTLE. I WAS IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE OVER TO THE HARD SHOULDER SO HAD TO SWERVE IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC TRYING TO AVOID COLLISION. I CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED, WHILE PUMPING THE BRAKES AND EVENTUALLY CUT THROUGH THE TRAFFIC TO THE HARD SHOULDER WHERE I PUMPED THE BRAKES UNTIL THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED. AT ONE POINT THE CAR WAS DOING WELL NORTH OF 100 MPH AND CARS WERE TOOTING THEIR HORNS AS I SWERVED IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. I AM LUCKY NOT TO HAVE CRASHED THE CAR AND KILLED MYSELF OR OTHER MOTORISTS. AFTER THE CAR CAME TO A HALT, I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND CHECKED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO ENSURE NOTHING WAS JAMMING THE ARM OF THE PEDAL, WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD RELEASED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE BACK ROADS AT A VERY SLOW PACE OF ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE ISSUE DID NOT REPEAT ITSELF. I CALLED AUDI TO TOW THE CAR FOR INSPECTION. THEY MENTIONED THAT THIS ISSUE HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE BUT WOULD INVESTIGATE. AFTER SURVEYING, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES AND DECIDED TO BRING ANOTHER INVESTIGATOR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FINDINGS WERE THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS WHOLE INCIDENT IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH. THE DEALERSHIP ASKED ME TO RETURN MY LOANER CAR AND PICK UP MY VEHICLE DUE TO THEIR FINDINGS. I WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURN OF THIS VEHICLE AND AM AWAITING SOME A CALL FROM CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TO DISCUSS. I WILL ALSO NOT ACCEPT THEM REDISTRIBUTING THIS VEHICLE TO ANOTHER OWNER AS I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS ME. I AM WRITING TO YOU AS I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS DESIGN DEFECT WILL RESULT IN A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT AND WOULD LIKE THE ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 12685 miles.

AUDI A6 2005 Traction Control System Report #10294316

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2009.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM . MY ABS LIGHT, PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, AND ESP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 AUDI A6 4.2 S-LINE MODEL THROUGH A SUDDEN SNOW STORM IN COLORADO. MY ABS IMMEDIATELY FAILED AND MY BRAKES LOCKED, CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, AND FORTUNATELY I AVOIDED A CRASH (I WAS AT LOW SPEEDS). THE QUATTRO ALL WHEEL DRIVE WAS ALSO DISABLED AT THIS TIME AND I WAS UNABLE TO GAIN TRACTION ON THE ICY ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEVASTATING CRASH RESULTING IN INJURIES IF I HAD BEEN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT THAT NIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ON 12/2/09 AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE ABS MODULE REPLACED AT A COST OF AROUND $1600. WHY WAS THIS NOT A RECALLED PART? ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECH AT STAMMLER AUDI IN BOULDER, CO IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MODEL YEAR BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST YEAR TO HAVE SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED IN THE VEHICLE'S DRIVING SYSTEMS. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A DEFECTIVE PART, THAT AUDI ALSO AGREES WITH, JUST TO DRIVE SAFELY ON THE ROADWAYS. *TR.Mileage was 52365 miles.

AUDI A6 2005 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Report #10294316

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2009.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . MY ABS LIGHT, PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, AND ESP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 AUDI A6 4.2 S-LINE MODEL THROUGH A SUDDEN SNOW STORM IN COLORADO. MY ABS IMMEDIATELY FAILED AND MY BRAKES LOCKED, CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, AND FORTUNATELY I AVOIDED A CRASH (I WAS AT LOW SPEEDS). THE QUATTRO ALL WHEEL DRIVE WAS ALSO DISABLED AT THIS TIME AND I WAS UNABLE TO GAIN TRACTION ON THE ICY ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEVASTATING CRASH RESULTING IN INJURIES IF I HAD BEEN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT THAT NIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ON 12/2/09 AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE ABS MODULE REPLACED AT A COST OF AROUND $1600. WHY WAS THIS NOT A RECALLED PART? ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECH AT STAMMLER AUDI IN BOULDER, CO IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MODEL YEAR BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST YEAR TO HAVE SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED IN THE VEHICLE'S DRIVING SYSTEMS. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A DEFECTIVE PART, THAT AUDI ALSO AGREES WITH, JUST TO DRIVE SAFELY ON THE ROADWAYS. *TR.Mileage was 52365 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WAUEL74F55N. Audi A6 2005 problem was reported in LONGMONT, CO. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2010.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I PURCHASED A 2005 AUDI A6 3.2 QUATTRO IN AUGUST OF 2008 WITH 37,000 MILES. IN DECEMBER 2008 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUDI DEALER IN PASADENA BECAUSE THE LEFT REAR TAILLIGHT, LEFT REAR REVERSING LIGHT, AND LEFT REAR FOG LIGHT WERE SHORTING OUT OFF AND ON. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD WORK, SOMETIMES THEY WOULDN'T. THE DEALER SAID THE CONNECTORS TO THAT LEFT TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY WERE MELTED AND IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FOLLOWING SUMMER, 2009, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THIS TIME IN SANTA MONICA, CA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND AN OIL CHANGE WHERE ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID THE CONNECTORS TO THE LEFT REAR TAIL LAMP, REVERSING LIGHT, AND FOG LIGHT WERE MELTED. I REFUSED TO PAY AND TOOK CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND COULDN'T FIX IT. A WEEK OR TWO LATER, THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AGAIN. THAT WAS SUMMER/FALL 2009. BY APRIL 2010, THE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR INTO ANOTHER AUDI DEALER THIS TIME IN DOWNTOWN, LA. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM SAYING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS SENDING TOO MUCH ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THAT SIDE OF THE CAR AND IS CAUSING THE WIRING TO BURN AT THE CONNECTION POINT TO THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SERVICE THAT WAS ALREADY REPAIRED I SAID JUST 15 MONTHS AGO AND ASKED WHY THIS IS ONLY HAPPENING TO THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 385.00 TO FIX IT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT SHOP THIS WEEK AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THERE ARE BURN POINTS IN THE TRUNK WHERE THE WIRING IS FAULTY AND THAT AUDI SHOULD FIX THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE AS IT WILL JUST KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW SWITCHES NOT WORKING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHTS SHORTING OUT IN THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS IS NOT ONLY A BIG NUISANCE BUT I AM WORRIED THAT THIS COULD CATCH FIRE. PLEASE HELP IN THIS SITUATION, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR.Vehicle was on fire. Mileage was 51000 miles.

AUDI A6 Service Brakes

AUDI A6 2005 Service Brakes Report #10555326

AUDI A6 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 03, 2013.AUDI A6 2005, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . AUDI 2005 A6 STARTED TO HAVE INTERMITTENT WARNING FOR ABS, STABILITY, HAND BRAKE AT ~55K MILES. TOOK CAR TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE IT . DEALER CALLED WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $2800 TO REPLACE ABS MODULE. HE ALSO PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $1100 FOR ANOTHER ERROR CODE FOR AIRBAG TO REPLACE THE CENTER REAR SEAT BELT. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THESE WARNING CODES COME SO RANDOMLY AND CLEAR SO RANDOMLY. NOT SURE WHY AN AUDI A6 WILL NEED SUCH REPAIRS THAT CLEARLY POINT TO FLAWS IN DESIGN AND UNRELIABLE PARTS AFTER ONLY 55K MILES. THERE ARE TONS FOR ONLINE COMPLAINTS FROM AUDI DRIVERS THAT USE THE BOSCH 8.0 ABS MODULE. AUDI SHOULD EITHER RECALL THIS PART OR OFFER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO AUDI USA, BASICALLY THEY ASKED IF I WAS FIRST OWNER AND IF I TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE. THE ANSWERS FOR BOTH IS NO. I'M THE 2ND DRIVER. BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ONLY 20K MILES AND SINCE RELOCATING TO HOUSTON, I TAKE THE CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE FOR OIL CHANGE. I'M LOOKING FOR SAFECAR.GOV TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE WITH AUDI. AUDI DOESN'T EVEN SELL THE ABS MODULE PART ALONE. YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY THE BRAKE PUMP AS WELL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.
