TIRES
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)

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
SUDDEN CLUTCH FAILURE ALMOST RESULTED IN ACCIDENT AS NO POWER WAS GOING TO WHEELS WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. CAR WAS STARTED ON A SLIGHT HILL, POSSIBLY IN THIRD, BUT WITH NO HESITATION, CLUTCH WAS SLIPPED BUT NOT SMOKED. DURING APPROX 3-5 MILES OF DRIVING WITHOUT RIDING THE CLUTCH THE REVS CLIMBED WHILE MAINTAINING A STEADY SPEED, BY THE TIME I PULLED OVER THE CLUTCH WAS GONE. AOA COVERED HALF OF THE PART COST & 10% OF THE LABOR BECAUSE IT IS A NORMAL WEAR ITEM, AND THUS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
ALL WINDSHIELDS PRODUCED BY AUDI FOR TT MODEL HAVE NOTICEABLE VISUAL DISTORTION SHOWING IN WINDSHIELD AS VIEWED FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT WHILE LOOKING OUT THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. DISTORTION APPEARS AS VERTICLE LINES RUNNING FROM TO BOTTOM OF WINSHIELD MAKING ANYTHING VIEWED, ESPECIALLY STRAIGHT LINES, DISTORT. THIS CAUSES CAN AND HAS CAUSED MOMENTARY DIZZINESS. THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT ACCORDING TO AUDI OF AMERICA, JERRAD, IN CUSTOMER SERVICE, AUDI HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DATE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE WILLING TO SUPPLY A THRID WINDSHEILD IN THE HOPES IT WILL HAVE LESS DISTORTION, BUT HE SUGGESTED I MAY WANT TO WAIT TO SEE IF THIS PRODUCTION PROBLEM IS EVER FIXED AND THAN OBTAIN A NEW WINDSHIELD. THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS POTETNTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

TIRES
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

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT CAN OFTEN REPORT INCORRECT INFORMATION, CAUSING OWNERS TO OCCASIONALLY RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. FUEL GAUGE HAS A TENDENCY TO JUMP FROM FULL TO EMPTY WITHIN MINUTES. AUDI HAS ALREADY RECALLED THEIR A6 MODEL FOR THE SAME DEFECT, YET DOES NOT WANT TO RECALL THE TT EVEN THOUGH THEY SHARE THE SAME PART NUMBER FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEM.

TIRES:SIDEWALL
BOTH TIRES BLEW OUT AND DAMAGED THE WHEELS AT A VERY LOW SPEED AFTER HITTING AN INSIGNIFICANT BUMP IN THE ROAD. SIDEWALL BLEW OUT OF BOTH TIRES CAUSING DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO INJURY OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE. THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH MANY SIDEWALL FAILURES BY OTHER AUDI TT OWNERS. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI WHO REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225/45/17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/45/17 )

TIRES
RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED WHEN TRAVELLING ABOUT 50 MPH, THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO SWERVE ABRUPTLY TO RIGHT AND ONLY AFTER GREAT DIFFICULTY I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. BLOWOUT HAPPENED DURING MORNING TRAFFIC ON I-90 AND I DIDN'T HIT POTHOLE OR ANY OTHER OBJECT. ACCIDENT WAS ONLY AVOIDED BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON THE RIGHT LANE, SO SWEVE TOOK ME ONTO THE SHOULDER.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225/45R17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/45R17 )
