THE CAR HAD A TOTAL OF 38,800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. CURRENTLY IT HAS 39,350 MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
CAR SHOWS 1/4 OF FUEL IN TANK WHEN TANK IS COMPLETELY EMPTY CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS MULTIPLE TIMES IN HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. I CAN NOT READ THE LCD SCREEN SO I CAN NOT SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS (GAS, OIL CHANGE, TRUNK OPEN, ETC). MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY OVERHEATING, WHICH IS FALSE. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN MY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL NOT LIGHT UP, NOR WILL IT REGISTER MY RPMS OR EVEN MY SPEED. IF I CAN NOT READ MY SPEED OR EVEN SEE IF I HAVE GAS, THEN I AM NOT SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE CLUSTER HAS NOW FAILED COMPLETELY, WHICH PREVENTED MY CAR FROM EVEN STARTING SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. FURTHER MORE, AUDI HAS REFUSED TO FULLY PAY FOR THIS ITEM TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN RECALLED! OUTRAGEOUS. *TR

FAILURE OF GAS GAUGE AND ULTIMATE FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN 2001 AUDI TT. LOST POWER ON VERY BUSY HIGHWAY IN A HEAVY SNOWSTORM, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET TO SHOULDER. HAD TO BE TOWED. GAS GAUGE INDICATED ONE-HALF TANK OF GAS, BUT TURNS OUT TANK WAS EMPTY. GAUGE NEVER OPERATED PROPERLY AFTER THAT. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, RECEIVED NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION NOTING SIMILAR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURES IN THIS TYPE OF CAR, AND EXTENSION OF WARRANTY TO 6 YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE 7.5 YEARS AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENSION SO I WILL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR THE $1,000 COST FOR REPAIR FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS A VERY WELL-DOCUMENTED, WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE AUDI TT DASH PANEL, ONE THAT AUDI HAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED. FAILURES INCLUDE (1) A FALSE OR NO VEHICLE SPEED INDICATION (2) A FALSE OR NO ENGINE ROTATIONAL SPEED INDICATION (3) A FALSE ENGINE TEMPERATURE INDICATION (4) A FALSE FUEL LEVEL (5) COMPLETE DEACTIVATION OF ENGINE (6) IMPROPER STATUS OF SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS AIRBAGS, BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, ETC (7) IMPROPER OR FAULTY INDICATION OF ONBOARD COMPUTER FUNCTIONS AND DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAYS. IT IS A SHAME THAT THE US HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFECT A POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM AUDI REGARDING A SAFETY RECALL OF THIS KNOWN, CHRONIC PROBLEM, WHEREAS OTHER COUNTRIES, SUCH AS THE UK, HAVE SUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED FOR ACTION FROM AUDI IN THE FORM OF AN UNCONDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL. HAVING A VEHICLE WITH FIVE OF THE OUTLINED FAILURES OF THE DASHBOARD, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AND URGE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE WHAT OTHERS HAVE DOCUMENTED, NOT ONLY IN NHTSA-FILED COMPLAINTS, BUT FROM THE PLETHORA OF OWNERS WHO HAVE INDICATED ISSUES THROUGH OTHER ONLINE SITES. *TR

MY CAR HAS HAD A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMING ON FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND IT'S OCCURRING WITH MORE FREQUENCY. THE LIGHT ONLY COMES ON WHEN I TAKE MY CAR OUT OF GEAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THREE DIFFERENT AUDI DEALERS, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ANSWERS AS TO THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER, MY LIGHT STILL COMES ON AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED. EVEN MORE RECENTLY AND JUST TO TOP IT OFF, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER HAS BLOWN. SO FAR, IT'S JUST THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, FUEL GAUGE, LED DISPLAY, AND A WARNING LIGHT THAT TRIGGERS ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS TO TURN OFF, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, THE SPEEDOMETER IS SOON TO FOLLOW. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL IN THE UK FOR THIS, BUT AUDI USA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM ON THE PHONE AND THEY ONLY REFER ME TO THE LOCAL AUDI DEALER, WHICH IS JUST A VISCOUS CYCLE. I WILL BE VERY UPSET WHEN I'M DRIVING AND CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING. THIS SEEMS A DANGER TO BE ON THE ROAD. SINCE THE PROBLEM COSTS $1000 TO FIX, I GUESS I WILL JUST HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SPEEDOMETER FOR A WHILE ... *TR
