2000 Audi Tt

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

2000 AUDI TT QUARTO WITH MALFUNCTIONING INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CUSTOMER STATES THAT AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM**NAR**CC THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR A WHILE NOW AND THE CONSUMER STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $1,000 TO REPAIR. THE CONSUMER STATED HE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CONTACTING THE DEALER AND GETTING BACK WITH THE CONSUMER BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH A BROKEN RADIATOR HOSE. THE CONSUMER STATED WOULD LIKE AUDI TO PROVIDE A FULL COVERAGE WARRANTY FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE CONSUMER PREVIOUSLY HAD A TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE, THE DEALER INITIALLY STATED HE MUST HAVE HIT CURB, BUT IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND ULTIMATELY THE MANUFACTURER REPLACED THE TIRES. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT IN THE TREAD. THIS OCCURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE BLOW OUT WAS CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE USE AND BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE AFFECTED. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS A FIRESTONE FUZION HRI 225/45R17 91H.

BOTH TIRES BLEW OUT AND DAMAGED THE WHEELS AT A VERY LOW SPEED AFTER HITTING AN INSIGNIFICANT BUMP IN THE ROAD. SIDEWALL BLEW OUT OF BOTH TIRES CAUSING DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO INJURY OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE. THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH MANY SIDEWALL FAILURES BY OTHER AUDI TT OWNERS. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI WHO REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225/45/17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/45/17 )

RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED WHEN TRAVELLING ABOUT 50 MPH, THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO SWERVE ABRUPTLY TO RIGHT AND ONLY AFTER GREAT DIFFICULTY I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. BLOWOUT HAPPENED DURING MORNING TRAFFIC ON I-90 AND I DIDN'T HIT POTHOLE OR ANY OTHER OBJECT. ACCIDENT WAS ONLY AVOIDED BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON THE RIGHT LANE, SO SWEVE TOOK ME ONTO THE SHOULDER.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225/45R17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/45R17 )
