2003 Audi A4

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE APPROACHING LIGHT TURNED YELLOW, THEN RED, AND THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED, I APPLIED THE BREAK ON MY VEHICLE, I HAD PLENTY OF DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE OTHER VEHICLES, HOWEVER AS I AM APPLYING THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY, RPM WAS OVER 5000, THE BRAKES DID NOTHING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED EVEN MORE, I HAD NO CHOICE AND NOWHERE TO TURN OFF TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, MY VEHICLE PLOWED INTO THE VEHICLE LOCATED IN FRONT OF ME ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKY THAT AT LEAST THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, IF MY CAR WAS THE FIRST ONE IN THE LINE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IT AND COULD HAVE HIT THE PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE ROAD. THIS IS THE WORST DEFECT IN A VEHICLE, AND A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER AS IT TRAVELS . HAS BEEN TO DEALER FOR ANALYSIS AND FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDED. CHECKED AND FOUND RECALL CAMPAIGN 07V375000 IS ACTIVE. DEALER REFUSES SAYING OUR CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE EVEN THOUGH SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL AND MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR ARE SAME. THEY CLAIM VIN IS NOT IN RECALL BASE. WHO DETERMINES THE ACCURACY OF THE VIN NUMBERS ELIGIBLE? WE HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM OVER THE PAST YEAR AND AFTER SEVERAL DIAGNOSIS WE ARE TOLD IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. WE JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 03 AUDIA4 1.8T CABRIOLET. FOR THE PASS TWO YEARS I HAVE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION TWICE- THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE, THE GEARS WEREN'T SWITCHING. AUDI USA ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND STILL THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THAT. SECOND AND BIGGER ISSUE IS THE REAR WINDOW WHICH IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. IT IS DANGEROUS AS THE WINDOW CAN FLY AWAY WHILE I DRIVE THE CAR WITH A HIGHER SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND HIT THE CARS BEHIND ME. ALSO VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL CARS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING FROM GA TO NC THE CAR ACCELERATED SUDDENLY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I COULD FEEL THE ACCELERATOR MOVE AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND I HAD PRESSED THE CLUTCH AND BREAK TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER WAS ABOVE 5000 RPM AND I TURN OFF THE CAR AND COASTED INTO A GAS STATION. I CHECKED THE FLOORMATS AND THE ACCELERATOR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND CAUTIOUSLY CONTINUED MY TRIP. EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY UNTIL I WAS CLOSE TO MY DESTINATION. THEN I EXPERIENCED THE SAME UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. AGAIN, THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR WAS TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUDI DEALER IN NC AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO FAULTS AND THEREFORE NO PROBLEM. THEY SUSPECTED THE FLOORMATS. *TR

THERE IS A FAILURE WITH MY HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE(HID) LIGHTS THAT CAUSES THEM TO FLICKER AND SOMETIMES TO TURN OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN USE/ THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY TIME THE HID LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT THE CONDITION IS NOT RESOLVED. AN ALARM COMES ON SCREEN WHICH READS "LEFT LIGHT DIPPED" OR "RIGHT LIGHT DIPPED" AND RESULTS IN THE LIGHT TURNING OFF COMPLETELY ON THE DIPPED SIDE. *TR

2003 AUDI A4 CABRIOLET HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES, FAILURE OF DOOR GASKET SEAL WHICH DESTROYED PLC, RESULTING IN HORRIBLE SOUND SAFETY ISSUE, COST OVER $2K TO FIX, FAILURE OF CV JOINT WHICH COULD CAUSE WHEEL TO FLY OFF, FAILURE OF REAR GLASS WINDOW THAT COULD COME LOOSE HURTING OTHER VEHICLES OR PASSENGERS OF CAR; CAR HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES, WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS GARAGED. AUDI AMERICA SHOULD REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THESE NUMEROUS, (AND APPARENTLY INEVITABLE, JUDGING BY WHAT I'VE READ AND HEARD FROM OTHER OWNERS) PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND SHE WAS INFORMED HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V375000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 72,000.

I HAVE A 2003 AUDI A4 1.8T QUATTRO. A MESSAGE CAME ON MY DASHBOARD STATING THAT THERE IS A LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING, IT SEEMS A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER AUDI A4S HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS SEEMINGLY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT IS VERY UNSAFE NOT ONLY FOR THE OPERATOR, BUT FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. THE BULB IS NOT "BURNED OUT" AS IT HAS WORKED SPORADICALLY SINCE THE FIRST WARNING CAME ON. *TR

200 AUDI A4 CONVERTIBLE. REAR WINDOW HAS SEPARATED FROM ROOF APPEARS AS IF THE GLUE IS DRY ROTTED? MILES 49K GARAGE KEPT, HAND WASHED.... FOUND INFO ON-LINE REGARDING SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AUDI OF AMERICA REFUSES RESPONSIBILITY WHILE AUDI GERMANY ACCEPTS FULL RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL FALL OUT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
