| Audi claims that transmission fluid and filter never needs to be changed, this is not only incorrect, but this also causes transmission problems on a regular basis. this should not be told to the customer for it is a lie just so the customer has constant transmission problems while audi racks in the money. it is a scam and it should be eliminated from potential and existing audi customers. no oil was ever made not to break down and not ever be changed. a new audi owner usually listens to the dealership about their cars, and usually don't change the fluids or filters, hence transmission break downs and expensive repairs. scam *tr | |||

| My car was accelerating without the gas pedal being depressed. i was fighting to stop the car with the brake but failed to do so as the car was accelarating at high speeds on a major highway. i had got the car down from 50mph to 15 mph. at this point turned on my hazardous lights and pulled over to the shoulder. at 15 mph i safely shut my car off as i was unable to completely stop. after 30 seconds, i turn my car back on and see that the car is hittig redline of 7000 rpms in park mode. i shut my car down once more and wait another minute. i start the car and the car is back to normal. i am being told by many people in my car's internet forum that this has been happening to many people and it is a faulty throttle pedal. the pedal has a heating element that has failed due to the recent extremly cold weather. | |||
