Audi
Tt

While driving on a city street in Ann Arbor Michigan, the manual transmission shift lever snapped off. The lever detached at the base right above the spring assembly that allows the shifter to be moved into reverse. I was stuck in third gear and had to feather the clutch and keep the revs high in order to get through a traffic light and pull into a parking garage. The part required a complete replacement (completed myself).

The contact owns a 2001 Audi TT. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle crashed into a deer causing significant damage to the front end. During the crash, neither the front driver side nor passenger side air bags were deployed. The driver sustained an injured neck and lower back which required medical treatment. The front seat passenger was not injured. The vehicle was later towed to the home. No police report was taken. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the incident. The failure mileage was 94,000.

HEADLIGHTS JUST STOPPED WORKING AGAIN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME. PARK LIGHT AND HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAMS. CAN BE DRIVING ALONG FINE AND CUT CAR OFF AND START BACK UP AND LOW BEAMS JUST WON'T COME ON. IF IT WAS 1 AT A TIME I COULD SEE IT AS BEING NO PROBLEM BUT THEY BOTH STOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. KEEP REPLACING SWITCH AND HEADLIGHTS...THINKING THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. SEE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH AUDI OWNERS. ALSO SEE THAT IT'S A RECALL ON THE NEWER MODELS BUT NOT THE LATE MODELS.

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.

"TAKATA RECALL" INTERMITTENTLY HAS NO POWER THE RPM REV HIGH WITH NO POWER IN ACCELERATOR THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR BECOMES POWERLESS. THERE HAVE BEEN NO STALLING JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN HAS NO POWER AND THE RPM'S REV HIGH BUT YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE. IT'S NOT SPUTTERING JUST BECOMES POWERLESS THERE IS NO SPECIFIC GEAR

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!

THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH AUDI. THEY REFUSE TO RECALL, BUT I WANTED TO JUST ADD TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE HAVING AN ISSUE HERE. THE GAUGES ARE FLICKERING (GAUGE CLUSTER). THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2001, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY IN 2003 HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED IN 2004 (15K MILES) UNDER WARRANTY, SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS UNTIL IT STAYED ON PERMANENTLY. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO ANOTHER DEALER THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IN 2010 I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR A CLUSTER RECALL, THEY REPLACED THE CLUSTER ALL WAS FINE THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATE THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE AIRBAG MODULE. SPENT $1500 TO HAVE THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED ( THINK THIS WAS THE ISSUE ALL ALONG). AFTER HAVING THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED THE SEAT BELT LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON. WAS TOLD IT IS THE CLUSTER. THE CAR HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT THIS WILL BE THE 4TH CLUSTER IN THE CAR. THE DEALER WANTS $1500 TO REPLACE AGAIN WITH NO GUARANTEE. AUDI ACCEPTS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WILL PAY A FEW HUNDRED TOWARDS THE REPAIR. I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ABOUT $1200, I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING THE AUDI MANAGER (#248-754-3686) HANDLING THE CASE AND MY ATTORNEYS OFFICE HAS TRIED CONTACTING THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN ANY CALLS. I AM WITHOUT A SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL HAVE MY GRANDSON IN THE CAR AND NOT KNOW IF HIS SEAT BELT IS PROPERLY ENGAGED, OR IF MY AIRBAG IS WORKING PROPERLY. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE PUT VERY LOW MILES ON THE CAR, HAVE ALWAYS GARAGED IT AND NEVER DROVE IT IN BAD WEATHER AND THE CLUSTER REMAINS AN ISSUE GOING ON THE 4TH ONE. *JS
