I WAS DRIVING ON I-64 EAST OF RICHMOND VA WHEN I FELT THE CAR SHUDDER AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGAN GLIDING OVER THE LANE MARKERS TO THE RIGHT. I TRIED TO KEEP THEWHEELSSTRAIGHT AND SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY BUT THE REAR END SLOWLY KICKED OUT TO THE LEFT SIDE. BY THE TIME I KNEW IT I WAS DIRECTLY FACING THE RIGHT-SIDE GUARDRAIL AND MOMENTS LATER THE VEHICLE TAPPED THE GUARDRAIL JUST ENOUGH TO BUST THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PEEL BACK THEHOODA FEW NOTCHES.  THE VEHICLE CAME TO A REST AFTER DOING A NEAR-180 DEGREE TURN AND ENDED UP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THEENGINEWAS STILL RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE WITH NO DASH WARNINGLIGHTSSO I TRIED TO MOVE IT IN 1STGEAR, 2NDGEAR, AND REVERSE, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT BUDGE! I THEN DIALED 911 AND EVACUATED MY GIRLFRIEND AND I FROM THE CAR.   STATE TROOPERS ARRIVED SHORTLY AFTER AND WE TRIED PUSHING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AN INCH. WHEN THE WRECKER ARRIVED AND TRIED TO PULL THE CAR ONTO THE FLATBED, WE FOUND THAT BOTH REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND IMMOBILE. AT NO POINT DID THE DASHBOARD EVER SHOW ANY SIGN OF ANY SYSTEM FAILURE. THANKFULLY IMPACT WAS NOT EVEN ENOUGH TO DEPLOY AIRBAGS.  THE STATE TROOPER'S REPORT SAYS THAT THE INCIDENT WAS NOT DUE TO DRIVER'S ERROR AND I AM CONVINCED THAT A FAILURE ONBOARD THE VEHICLE OCCURRED THAT CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK. THE CAR HAS RECEIVED EVERY REQUIREDSERVICEAT THEAUDIDEALERSHIP IN EL PASO TX AND IT WAS GARAGED MUCH OF ITS LIFE. ALTHOUGH 5 YEARS OLD, THE CAR ONLY HAS 13,000 MILES.  I HAVE ALREADY FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND CONTACTEDAUDIOF AMERICA TO RAISE SOME ATTENTION SO AS TO LOOK FURTHER INTO WHAT HAPPENED. I AM CURRENTLY AWAITING A FORMAL DIAGNOSIS FROM THE AUDI DEALERSHIP IN RICHMOND VA AND THEN WILL FOLLOW UP WITH AUDI CORPORATE.

SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2018 AUDI TT SERIES HAVE BEEN PLACED TOO LOW ON THE FRAME SUCH THAT THERE IS A STRONG TENDENCY FOR THE SEAT BELTS TO RIDE DOWN FROM THE OCCUPANT'S SHOULDER THEREBY CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE HAS BE TAKEN BY A WOMAN THAT WAS FRAUDULANT TO ME BY TRADING ANOTHER PERSONS VEHICLE TO ME AND I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS IN THE HANDS OF A CAR THIEF WHO CLAIMED TO BE A NOTARTY, BECAUSE THE TITLE OF THE VEHICLE GIVEN TO ME WAS FRUDULANT. THE PHONE NUMBER OF THIS WOMAN IS HOW I FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS NOT WHO SHE SAID SHE WAS. BEING THAT I FOUND OUT SHE WAS NOT THE TRUE OWNER OF THE TRADED VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT HER TRUE IDENTITY BY LOOKING UP THE DESCRIBED NAME FROM THE PHONE ID CHECK AND THEN BY FACEBOOK. THE LAW INFORCMENT OFFICERS THAT I HAD TALK TO ARE NOT WANTING TO HELP ME REPORT MY CAR STOLEN TO GET MY CAR BACK INSTEAD THEY ARE TELLING ME TO SIGN A RELEASE OF OWNERSHIP SO THEN I WONT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO IT. SO FAR I HAVE RECIVED TOLL CHARGES CAUSED BY THE FRUDULANT WOMAN THAT HAS AFFECTED MY LICENSE. AND IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THESE TOLL BILLS I NEED I STOLEN VEHICLES REPORT TO SHOW THAT IT WASNT ME WHO CAUSED THE TOLL BILLS. THEREFORE I AM MAKING THIS REPORT SO I CAN BE HEARD THAT THIS CAR THIEF NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. AND SHE NEEDS TO RETURN MY VEHICLE, BUT I JUST DONT KNOW WHY Y VEHICLE CANT BE REPORTED AS STOLEN.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS CAR IS NOT VENTED PROPERLY AND THUS OVERHEATS UNDER HEAVY BRAKING, RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE WEAR, MELTING OF ELECTRONICS, AND POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. I KNOW A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME MODEL CAR WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES, AND I HAVE READ REPORTS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE US WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN MY CASE I WAS ON A CLOSED CIRCUIT DRIVING AT A HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRIVING SCHOOL AND THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING BECAUSE THE PAD SENSOR WARNING SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WORE THROUGH THE BRAKE PADS VERY QUICKLY.

ENGINE
I WAS INFORMED ABOUT AN ENGINE COMPONENT RECALL INVOLVING THE WATER PUMP THAT WAS USED WHEN REPLACING THE TIMING COMPONENTS AT THE VEHICLE'S 100,000 MILE SERVICE INTERVAL. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO START RUNNING A LITTLE OVER NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE WHILE SITTING STILL FOR MORE THAN 5-8 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING IN WEATHER OVER 60 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE VEHICLE ALSO RUNS AT HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN NORMAL WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER TRAFFIC (UNDER 35MPH) I BELIEVE THE WATER PUMP USED IS PART OF THE RECALL.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH GAUGE CLUSTER, FUEL GAUGE INACCURATE (RUNS OUT OF GAS IN MIDDLE OF HWY), LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON (MANUAL SAYS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY WHEN LIGHT COMES ON), AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON! EVERYTHING I HAVE READ STATES THESE ARE ALL PROBLEMS WITH THE GAUGE CLUSTER (COST OVER $1000 TO HAVE REPLACED!) AUDI USA KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AUDI HAS A RECALL IN THE UK FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHY NOT HERE IN THE U.S. ?? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!
