| My 2006 audi a4 just died on the road the day after i did the 95k services.. couldn't start up the car after many attempts and finally when i could, it was very loud and shaky.. got some smells from the front also but i couldn't figure out what was wrong. i sent it back to the dealer right away and going through some diagnosis, we need to replace the engine because the crankshaft inside the engine's got broken sleeves. prior to this, there were recalls on my car, my service light was on for a while and it was linked to the recall, they replaced the breather, but did not have to replace the turbo pipe.. when my car died on the road, i was lucky that just turning out from dunkin donuts for an very early morning coffee (5am), because it was so early, there weren't many cars, otherwise there would very likely be a crash. *tr | |||

| Extreme vibrations are occurring while vehicle is stopped and in gear. this problem has existed since i drove it off the lot new. it now has only 8000 miles. the vibration levels vary and can fluctuate. when vibrations are high the vibration is nauseating, tingles my ears, and rattles my teeth. my keys vibrate enough to produce sound and they appear blurry. my local audi dealer says there is nothing they can do about it currently, but suggest there may be future remedies. they did tighten my seat and say that my car is operating within specifications. i drove an identical vehicle to compare from their lot and my car vibrated significantly more. these severe vibrations prompt me to place my car in neutral at traffic lights so i don't feel ill. this can be dangerous since my car may not be in gear, and if i'm distracted, then need to accelerate suddenly, i won't be able to immediately. i'm afraid i may get rear ended at one of these times. the vibrations make me feel sick and give me headaches while driving which can detract from my ability to operate the car safely.*jb | |||
