AIR BAGS
FAILURE OF THE "AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE" ON OUR 2001 AUDI TT. THIS FAILURE , IF NOT REPAIRED, WILL LEAD TO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THE CAR NOT WORKING AUDI REFUSES TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR, WHICH IS OVER $1000. WE FEEL THIS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY AUDI. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, STRUCTURE
AUDI TT, 2001, ROADSTER. THE GLOVE BOX LOCK FAILED WITHOUT REASON. THIS FAILURE DOES NOT ALLOW THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO BE DISCONNECTED FOR CHILDREN AS REQUIRED BY LAW. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS DEFECT. IT IS A DESIGN FAILURE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD TO SMALL PASSENGERS. THIS FAILURE IS COMMON TO AUDI TT 2000 THRU 2005. NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED VIA A RECALL, AN IMPROVED GLOVE BOX LOCK SYSTEM. REPAIRING WITH THE SAME SYSTEM ONLY LEADS TO RECURRENT FAILURES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 AUDI TT 3.2 DSG WITH ABOUT 106,000 MILES ON IT, WHEN EVER I TURN THE CAR ON AND SHIFT INTO GEAR THE CAR WILL JUST SIT THERE WITH THE GEAR LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BLINKING. I HAVE NO REVERSE GEAR, THE CAR CAN MOVE IN DRIVE BUT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE, I MIGHT HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR 20 TIMES BEFORE THE CAR DECIDES TO WORK RIGHT AND GO INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE NORMALLY... ALSO THERE IS A STRONG OILY SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CAR GETS SERVICED AND CHECKED NORMALLY AND THIS JUST STARTED ALL OF A SUDDEN. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THIS APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS AROUND THE CONNECTOR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD OR BACKWARD TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT SIZE DRIVERS. REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG DID NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THIRD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON A 2001 AUDI TT ROADSTER. FUEL GAUGE AT FIRST SHOWED TOO MUCH FUEL. AFTER A NEW CLUSTER THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS LOW WHEN ITS NOT. APPARENTLY THE SENDING UNIT IS THE CAUSE BUT AUDI IS IGNORANT OF THE ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAVE A REPAIR SOLUTION. I DARE SAY AUDI DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS CARS, THEIR PROBLEMS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

2001 AUDI TT CONVERTIBLE: THE HORN JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY STARTED TO NOT DISPLAY CLEARLY THEN THE CAR SEEM TO LACK POWER WHEN STARTS UP, CAR THEN WOULD NOT START IN THE MORNINGS, THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING LEFT FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES, AND THE CAR WOULD OFTEN TOTALLY SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THEN AUTOMATICALLY TURN BACK ON AGAIN ALL BY ITSELF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO STAYED ON AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IGNITION COILS ALSO CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP LATCH AREA WHILE DRIVING. CONSEQUENCES: DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS, FEAR, STRESS, FINANCIAL BURDEN/HARDSHIP, TIME CONSUMING, AND EXTREME INCONVENIENCE. REPAIRS: HORN WAS REPAIRED, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED, CONVERTIBLE TOP RATTLE AND WARNING LIGHT NOT REPAIRED, BRAKE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED, AND COILS ALL REPLACED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN NOVEMBER OF 2010, I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2004 1.8 AUDI TT AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR LOST POWER AT 1:00 AM OR I MAY HAVE BEEN EASILY HIT/KILLED BY THE HEAVY FLOW OF DAYTIME TRAFFIC. AS IT TURNS OUT, THERE WAS AN IGNITION COIL RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF SUCH RECALL AND AS A RESULT, WAS PUT IN DANGER BY OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN DEFECT AND SUFFERED OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN RELATED REPAIR EXPENSE. THE MECHANIC AT AUDI TOLD ME MY FUEL PUMP, COLLANT TEMP SENSOR, CRANK SENSOR AND IGNITION COIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE WAS QUITE SURPRISED THE THE PREVIOUS AUDI DEALERSHIP DID NOT CORRECT THE RECALL DURING ROUTINE SERVICE. MY VEHICLE WAS PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, SERVICED BY AN AUDI DEALERSHIP AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES. FAILURE OF AUDI TO NOTIFY ME OF THE RECALL AND FAILURE OF THE AUDI DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT THE IGNITION COIL DURING ROUTINE SERVICE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN GRAVE INJURY. BOTH AUDI CORP AND THE INDIVIDUAL AUDI DEALERSHIP DISPLAYED A CARELESS DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY AND ANY OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY MY VEHICLE FAILURE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I OWN A 2000 AUDI TT AND THE AUDI DEALER SERVICE CONFIRMS THAT THE TT'S INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM WHICH REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT A COST ESTIMATE OF $1193.13. THE TT HAS A KNOWN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE PROBLEM AND AUDI HAS PROVIDED RELIEF TO OWNERS REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT FAILURE IN BOTH THE UK AND THE US. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 75,000 MILE ON IT AND INSTRUMENT FAILURE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE. AUDI SAYS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A RIDICULOUS RESPONSE AS THE PROBLEMS AFFECTS THE SPEEDOMETER AND SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER TO PRESERVE AUTO SETTINGS. THIS TYPE OF SAFETY DEFECT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE CAR WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, APPEAR RELATED TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. I SCHEDULED WITH AUDI TO EVALUATE FAULTY GAS GAUGE AND RADIO STAYING ON AFTER KEY REMOVED. ANYHOW, BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO AUDI, THE CAR WHILE DRIVING JERKED VIOLENTLY AND THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. IT WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST AS I WAS ON WINDY ROADS WITH CLIFFS. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD HAD THE CAR LOST CONTROL. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THE DSG AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY FOR MY MODEL CAR, BUT THEY DON'T SHOW UP ON MY RECORD WITH AUDI. THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT ENGAGE GEARS FOR A FEW RESTARTS, SUDDENLY IT WAS FINE AND WOULD DRIVE BUT I HAD IT TOWED DUE TO RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTY. I BELIEVE THESE ARE RELATED EVENTS AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 45K MILES AND I'M NOT SURE IT IS A MECHANICAL FAILURE AT TALL. IT IS STRANGE THAT ALL OF THESE EVENTS COINCIDED AND SUSPECT PROBLEMS WITH COMPUTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TRANNY AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THEY ARE NOT HELPING ME RESOLVE THIS AND DENYING INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEM. SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING AND THIS IS A CLASSIC SIGN OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE WHICH LED TO THE LAWSUIT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2004 AUDI TT 3.2 DSG TRANSMISSION, 75823 MILES. 2ND TIME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS DISENGAGED FROM THE ENGINE IN THE PASS SEVERAL MONTHS.THE BOTH TIMES THAT IT HAS HAPPENED IS WHEN INITIALLY THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED UP. I DRIVE SEVERAL FEET, STOP AND THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WHEN ACCELERATING BY USING THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS TO HIGHER RPMS BUT DOES NOT MOVE OR THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE. I TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTART THE CAR AGAIN AND CAR OPERATES NORMALLY WITH NO PROBLEMS. NO ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT COMES ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE CAR SOFTWARE SYSTEM WILL GET A HICCUP ON OCCASION AND THIS WAS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM (OR THE OCCASIONAL HICCUP) SINCE OWNING THE CAR WITH 5,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER UNTIL RECENTLY. *TR
