THE CENTER DISPLAY ON MY 2000 AUDI S4 STARTED HAVING MISSING PIXELS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I CANT EVEN READ THE AUTO-CHECK SYSTEM. 9 OUT OF THE 10 PEOPLE THAT I KNOW WITH THIS EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I REALLY THINK THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ON MAY OF 2007. THE CARS INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS WORKING FINE WHEN PURCHASED. ALL THE CARS CRITICAL INFORMATION IS DISPLAYED ON THE PANEL. A MONTH AFTER PURCHASED I NOTICED THAT THE PANEL INTERMITTENTLY FAILS. THE CAR WAS RUNNING LOW ON COOLANT BUT SINCE I COULD NOT READ THE DEPLOY I HAD NO IDEA UNTIL THE CAR OVERHEATED AND THE WATER PUMP BLEW. THE REPAIR ALONE COST ME $800.00. MECHANIC STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOULD HAVE DISPLAYED THAT THE COOLANT WAS LOW. SO I ALSO BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE ALL WARNING INFORMATION IS DISPLAYED ON THE CLUSTER; BRAKES, TEMPERATURE AND OIL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY VEHICLES INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK! IT IS CLEARLY STATED IN THE USER MANUAL THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS FOR MY CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY TO PREVENT CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO CERTAIN MALFUNCTIONS. I WOULD SAY THAT 90% OF AUDI OWNERS I KNOW, CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS EITHER FADING OR GOING COMPLETELY OUT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I CANT EVEN SEE VITAL FUNCTIONS THAT MY CAR IS TELLING ME, I HEAR BEEPS SIGNALING SOMETHING IS WRONG, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS AND HAVE TO CONSTANTLY GO TO THE SHOP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN ON MY CAR SINCE NOT EVEN THE SHOP CAN JUST LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE MID JULY AND BELL AUDI IN RAHWAY WANTS TO CHANGE ME $800.00 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO SAFETY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
(1) USUALLY IN HOT WEATHER (2) THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (DRIVER INFORMATION) DISPLAY IS UNREADABLE. THIS DISPLAY PROVIDES AUTO-CHECK SYSTEM INFORMATION. MALFUNCTIONS OR URGENT REPAIRS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DISPLAYED BY RED (PRIORITY 1) OR YELLOW (PRIORITY 2) LIGHT SYMBOLS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THESE NOTIFICATIONS ARE THERE TO REMIND THE DRIVER THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED FOR BOTH CONVENIENCE & SAFETY, AND TO PREVENT THE RISK OF CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. A PERSON COULD GET STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, OR WORSE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, IF NOT NOTIFIED IN THE CORRECT MANNER. (3) NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE UNIT REPLACEMENT COSTS AROUND $700-$900. I HAVE SEARCHED ON FORUMS, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. AUDI OF AMERICA SHOULD CONSIDER RECALLING AND FIXING THIS EQUIPMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *JB

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. FAILURE IS CENTER DISPLAY IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS LOST LINES, AND GOES SO DIM AT TIMES THAT I CAN'T READ ANYTHING ON IT. THE DISPLAY GIVES IMPORTANT INFO FOR FAILURES IN SYSTEM, LIKE BRAKES, HEADLIGHTS, OIL PRESSURE LOSS, ETC. AND IF I CANNOT READ/SEE IT I WONT KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. *JB

AIR BAGS
I HAVE AN AUDI S4 CONVERTIBLE THAT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE AND THE REPAIRS DO NOT SEEM TO BE TAKING HOLD WHEN THEY DO THEM. SO FAR THERE FORTUNATELY HAS NOT BEEN A NEED TO USE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, HOWEVER ITS UNAVAILABILITY IS A MAJOR CAUSE FOR CONCERN. *TR
