Audi ALLROAD problems and owner complaints

2001 AUDI A6 ALLROAD HAS HAD A BRAKE/THROTTLE LAG ISSUE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE CAR CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE ALLROAD AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE WHEN THE CAR DID NOT "GO" AS SHE EXPECTED IT TOO, BASED ON HER THROTTLE INPUTS. AT ANOTHER INTERSECTION SHE LIFTED HER FOOT OFF OF THE GAS, REAPPLIED THE GAS AND THIS TIME THE CAR WENT SO FAST THAT SHE ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER AT THE UPCOMING INTERSECTION. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS ALMOST CRYING BECAUSE "I DID NOT TELL…

WE HAVE AN AUDI A4 QUATTRO 2001, WHICH HAS HAD PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING. THE ISSUES ARE ELECTRICAL. THE REAR WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN SPONTANEOUSLY WITHOUT PUSHING A BUTTON AND NOW WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN AT ALL. IT STAYS HALF WAY DOWN ALL THE TIME. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW THE COLD AIR FEELS ON OUR BABY IN THE BACK SEAT. THE WINDSHIELD FLUID LIGHT STAYS ON AS WELL AS THE OIL LIGHT. WE EVEN TOOK THE CAR FOR A $80 OIL CHANGE THINKING THAT WAS THE CASE, BUT THE LIGHT JUST STAYS ON. AUDI DEALER REFUSES TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT BEING PAID 120/HR…

THE STEERING WILL NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER THE ABILITY TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT PULLS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS A MAGNET ON BOTH SIDES OF CENTER PULLING YOU ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IT SEEMS TO BE TEMPERATURE RELATED. ONCE THE CAR GETS WARM, OR THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GETS WARMER, THE PROBLEM IS NOT AS PRONOUNCED. AUDI SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A CONCERN WHEN DRIVING WHEN IT IS COLD AND ICY OUT. PULLING SIDE TO SIDE SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY CONCERN. APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ACROSS MODELS THAT USE …

THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $1600. I HAVE BEEN TO BOTH AN AUDI DEALER AND RECEIVED THE $1600 QUOTE, AND TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THE PART IS QUITE EASY TO REPLACE BUT EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS FROM OTHER AUDI OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN SHOWN A 90% FAILURE RATE FOR THIS PART IN AUDI'S. THE CAR ALSO HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK WHERE IT DOES NOT RELEASE AIR FROM THE TANK PROPERLY AND CAUSES TOO MUCH PRESSURE. *TR
