2002 AUDI TT HAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED @41,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2007. RECENTLY, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AFTER SITTING 5 DAYS. WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED AND THE BATTERY RECHARGED, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A VERY NORMAL OCCURRENCE IN THESE CARS. THE PROBLEM CAN (AND HAS) CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER TO STOP WORKING. THERE IS NOW 45,00 MILES ON THIS CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY AUDI TT (2002 MODEL) WITH ONLY 25K MILES HAS HAD SERIOUS DRIVE TRAIN FAILURES. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHEN TRAVELING AT 60 MPH MY FRONT LEFT AXLE FELL OUT OF THE DRIVE SYSTEM, AND MY CAR WAS THROWN INTO A SPIN. I BARELY MISSED SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL AS A HIGHWAY DIVIDER. I WAS TOLD AT THE SERVICE CENTER THE AXLE NEVER WAS PINNED IN PLACE PROPERLY. THE SECOND AND MORE RECENT INCIDENT INVOLVES THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, AS I SHIFTED THROUGH THE GEARS, NOTHING HAPPENED, AND THEN FINALLY WHEN IT FELT LIKE THE CAR SHIFTED INTO GEAR, THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION FROZE UP, AND I ALMOST WAS HIT FROM THE BACK ... ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE CENTER FOR MORE REPAIR ... BESIDES THESE ISSUES, IN THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES REGARDING THE DRIVE SYSTEM ALSO. THIS IS JUST NOT A SAFE CAR. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
DIRECT IGNITION COIL FAILURE DUE TO COLD WEATHER. LOST ONE COIL ON A COLD DAY AND WAS TOLD BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS WAS COMMON AND THAT AUDI WAS ALREADY REDESIGNING THE UNIT. THEY REPLACE ONLY THE BAD COIL AS THEY HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TOO DUE TO LACK OF SPARE PARTS. VERY UNHAPPY THAT I WILL BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WILL HAVE 3 MORE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TIRES
MY NEW CAR CAME EQUIPPED WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE MICHELIN TIRES. I WAS DRIVING HOME AND NOTICED A PECULAR SOUND AND THEN HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING MY CAR. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE CAR. I MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TIRE WAS SMOKING AND THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER. THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SPLIT AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE RIM. THE VEHICLE STOPPED BECAUSE THE DRIVER SAID HE COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM MY PRIOR TO THE TIME I NOTICED A PROBLEM. I HAD THE SPARE PUT ON AND WENT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, I HAD DIFFICULTY FINDING A DEALER THAT CARRIED THE TIRE, 225/10 ZR18. THE AUDI DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE TIRES WERE UNDER A WARRENTY FROM MICHELIN, BUT WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME A CONTACT NUMBER AT THAT TIME. I TOOK THE TIRE TO A SHOP THAT COULD ORDER THE TIRE AND REPLACE IT IN LESS THAN 3 DAYS. THE OWNER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. I CALL MICHELIN AND SPOKE TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS CLEARLY DEFENSIVE AND NON- SPECIFIC. HE REFUSED TO TAKE ANY COMPLAINT OR INFORMATION ABOUT THE TIRE BECAUSE THE TIRE STORE WAS NOT AN AUTHORIZED MICHILEN DEALER. HE INFORMED ME THAT I COULD HAVE EASILY "HIT" AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD AND NOT FELT IT. I FIND THAT EXPLANATION VERY QUESTIONABLE. I HIT NOTHING. THERE WERE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS, SUCH AS NAILS OR GLASS, IN THE TIRE. I PURCHASED THE CAR, AN AUDI TT 2002, WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES, NOVEMBER OF 2002. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 4000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AT PURCHASE AND NOW HAS 6200 MILES. MY DRIVING IS CITY/COUNTRY AND, TRUELY, I RARELY DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. ALTHOUGH, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE TIRE, I AM MORE CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS INJURY HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A MULTILANE, HIGH SPEED FREEWAY. I DO NOT WISH TO SEE ANY OTHER DRIVER BE LESS FORTUNATE THAN I.
