TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I HAVE BEEN CALLING MY LOCAL AUDI DEALERSHIP IN CHANTILLY, VA EVERY MONTH OR SO TO CHECK IF THE PART IS AVAILABLE, ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER "SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK" (THEY NEVER DO). I UNDERSTAND THAT TAKATA WENT OUT OF BUSINESS BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. MY CAR AT THIS MOMENT IS WORTHLESS, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL IT WITH AN OPEN RECALL THAT HAS NO REMEDY AT THIS MOMENT, NOR CAN I HAVE ANY PASSENGER SAFELY SIT NEXT TO ME. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH AUDI FOR HANDLING THIS SO POORLY AND FOR NOT HAVING A SOLUTION. IN THE MEANWHILE I GET TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL MAILING REMAINDERS FROM AUDI ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK, THEY MAKE YOU THINK THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT THEY ARE NOT AND FOR MY OLDER MODEL CAR - A 2008 - THEY PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER AUDI EVER AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE HAD A LONG STANDING OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM COMMONLY KNOWN ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE WHICH AUDI ACKNOWLEDGED BY AUTHORIZING A REPAIR. AS A RESULT, AUDI OF AMERICA AND SCHMITT'S AUDI IN BOWMANSVILLE, NY AGREED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE PISTON RINGS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH I REPORTED THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, AUDI DID NOT AGREE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE ENGINE WAS TAKEN APART BY SCHMITT'S IN OCTOBER 2013 AT JUST UNDER 57K MILES, THE TIMING BELT WAS REMOVED AND THE PISTON RINGS WERE REPLACED. HOWEVER, APPROX. 3,000 MILES LATER, ON JUNE 30TH, WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON I-90 THE TIMING BELT SNAPPED WITHOUT NOTICE, CAUSING BENT VALVES AND MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY SPLIT WITH RTE. 219 WHICH WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE POLICE HAD TO COME TO PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM TRAFFIC. SCHMITT'S WAS THE LAST TO TOUCH THE ENGINE BUT DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BELT FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS DEFECTIVE. AUDI OF AMERICA DENIED THAT THE BELT WAS DEFECTIVE, EVEN THOUGH ACCORDING TO THE 2008 AUDI MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE THE BELT WAS NOT DUE TO BE CHANGED UNTIL 110K MILES. THE BELT BROKE AT ROUGHLY HALF THE MILEAGE IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO BE CHANGED AT. AUDI DENIED ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE $4200 ENGINE REPAIR COST AND STATED I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEREFORE NO COVERAGE WAS AVAILABLE. I HAD EXTENSIVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH AUDI PRESIDENT [XXX] OFFICE AND WITH SCHMITT'S AUDI OVER A 6+ WEEK PERIOD TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, TO NO AVAIL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD JUST PUT $35 IN GASSED THE CAR STILL SAID I NEEDED GAS AND THAT I HAD ZERO MILES LEFT OF GAS I MADE A TRIP THAT WAS ABOUT 45 MILES IN DISTANCE. MY CAR WAS THEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS THEN IT HAD TROUBLE STARTING AT FIRST BUT TURNED ON AND I PROCEEDED ONTO THE FREEWAY WHICH WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARKING LOT I PARKED INSIDE OF. IT WAS ABOUT 9:00 PM AND THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF CARS OUT. THE ENTRANCE OF THIS FREEWAY CONSIST OF ONE MEDIUM SIZED STEEP HILL WHICH REMAINS TRAVELING UPWARD ONTO A MOUNTAIN WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN THE CAR AND THANKFULLY WE WERE ON THE LAST LANE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE BARELY ENTERING THE FREEWAY. I PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE SKIRT I HAD JUST REPLACED THAT BATTERY EARLIER THAT WEEK (NO MORE THAN 5 DAY BEFORE). I HAD A SMALL GAS CAN IN MY TRUNK AND HAD SOMEONE GO TO THE GAS STATION AND BRING ME THE GALLON OF GAS WHICH I EMPTIED INTO MY CAR AND IT TURNED ON. AT TIMES THE CAR DOES SMELL LIKE GASOLINE ESPECIALLY IF I JUST PUT GAS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I FILL UP MY TANK WITH IT WILL INDICATE I HAVE 0 MILES OF GAS IN THE SCREEN AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT GO BELOW THE MIDDLE INDICATOR AND WILL NEVER SHOW ABOVE 3/4 FULL. MY TPMSA IS ALWAYS INDICATING A PROBLEM WHEN THE I HAVE A MECHANIC SEE IT AND HE ASSURED ME IT'S IN GOOD CONDITION

I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND REACHED OUT TO THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER ON THEIR WEBSITE NUMEROUS TIMES OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD (AT THE VERY LEAST SINCE AUDI ANNOUNCED AGREED TO THE REPAIRS). I KEEP ON RECEIVING NOTICE POSTCARDS FROM AUDI TO HAVE THIS SCHEDULED WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO BE PATIENT, THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN ONE COMES IN. I HAVE STARTED TO RECEIVE POSTCARDS FROM ANOTHER DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR...ONLY THIS DEALER IS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN CALIFORNIA! IT DOES NOT SEEM TO ME WHEN I CONTACT AUDI OF AMERICA THEY DON'T REALLY CARE. I ONLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY ABOARD(BECAUSE OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER ANTI PERSONNEL DEVICE). THE ONLY HELP FROM AUDI WAS IN THE FROM OF A RECOMMENDATION "DO NOT" USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TO RECAP 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I BELIEVE I LIVE IN ZONE2, NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO BOTH AUDI OF AMERICA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, RECALL NOTICES FROM CALIFORNIA! *****UPDATE: AS I WAS ABOUT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT I DECIDED TO CALL BENZEL BUSCH AUDI TO CHECK. AND MIRACULOUSLY THEY HAVE ONE. I WAS TOLD BY AUDI OF AMERICA THROUGH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE GREG M. ON MAY 16, 2019, THAT HE SPOKE TO KATHERINE AT SERVICE AND THAT THEY ARE AWAITING PARTS AND THAT SHE ASSURED HIM THAT I WAS A PRIORITY AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVES THEY WILL BE REACHING OUT TO ME DIRECTLY. IN THE ALMOST A YEAR OF WAITING, NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME, NOT AOA OR LOCAL DEALER. I CALLED HER TODAY JAN. 8, 2020 AND SCHEDULED A REPAIR ON JAN.13. IT WOULD SEEM THAT I AM NOT A PRIORITY.

LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT FLICKERS , DIES OUT. WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY , THE LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT WILL FLICKER REPEATEDLY AND DIE OUT. TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON FIXES THE ISSUE FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE FLICKERING STARTS UP AGAIN AND EVERY 5 MINUTES THE LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT GOES OUT AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING FOR NOT ONLY SAFETY REASONS , BUT FOR LEGAL REASONS AS WELL GIVEN THAT I HAVE TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON EVERY 5 MINUTES TO AVOID BREAKING THE LAW BY DRIVING WITH A HEADLIGHT OUT AT NIGHT. THIS ORIGIN OF THIS ISSUE IS UNKNOWN , BUT IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND IT WARRANTS A RECALL CONSIDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2008 LINE OF AUDI A4 VEHICLES POINTS TO A MASS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IT IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS IT IS ILLEGAL! THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE DEMANDS A RECALL!

ON 7/2/18 I MERGED ON TO 280 S FROM MOORPARK AVENUE IN SAN JOSE. I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT A MILE @ 60 (I DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL) WHEN ENGINE STARTED TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. I STEPPED ON BRAKE WHICH SLOWED MY VEHICLE BUT WHEN I REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT FREEWAY SAFELY AND PULL OVER INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. WHEN I TURNED OFF ENGINE I BELIEVE I HEAR A LOUD "ROAR" NOISE. EXPERIENCE WAS FRIGHTENING. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND CAUSE MAJOR INJURY. I CHECKED FLOOR MAT AND FLOOR TO SEE IF THERE WAS OBSTRUCTION BUT THERE WAS NONE. I CALLED TOW COMPANY BUT AFTER WAITING 3 HOURS FOR C&M TOWING TO NOT SHOW UP I DECIDED TO DRIVER CAR AROUND PARKING LOT TO SEE HOW IT WOULD DRIVE. IT DROVE FINE SO I DROVE HOME ON SURFACE STREETS. THE NEXT DAY TOOK 2008 AUDI A4 WITH 64K MILES IN TO OUR MECHANIC. DIAGNOSTICS DID NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODES.I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. STILL I NEED TO REPORT THIS FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD,IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS AGAIN TO ME OR OTHERS AND IT DOES NOT END WELL. LINDA

AT 33,000 MILES CAR EPC LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. TOOK CAR TO INDEPENDENT SERVICE STATION AND READING COULD NOT BE ATTAINED FOR ANY TROUBLE CODE. WITHIN 2 WEEKS JUST STARTED DRIVING THE CAR. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START. HAD CAR TOWED TO SERVICE STATION. WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE REPLACED THEY REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE CRANKSHAFT HAS SEIZED. ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (WITH ONLY 34,000 MILES ON THE CARE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE). CALLED AUDI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS TOO OLD AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT EVEN BRING THE ISSUE TO THE MANUFACTURER. WE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED THROUGH LOCAL SERVICE STATION. SERVICE STATION SUGGESTED THAT WHEN THEY RESEARCHED THEY FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE A4 2.0T. WE REALIZE THAT THE CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD, BUT AT 34,000 MILES A CARS ENGINE SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. AUDI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENGINE ISSUES.
