| There is a sound of metal rattling towards the front end of the car. sounds as if something is going to fall off the car. audi could not identify the problem for 10 days and then said they identified the problem as front break pads coming loose. they repaired what they thought to be the problem. we returned to car to their service center 5 weeks later with the same problem. they can not identify what is wrong with the car and will not give us a guarantee in writing that the vehicle is safe to drive. my wife is 4 months pregnant and we are not comfortable having her drive a car with a front brake problem. audi is refusing to buy the car back. | |||

| I am the owner of a 2002 audi a6 4.2. this is the second exact make and model that i have owned. my complaint is two fold. first and foremost, this particular audi has no rear brake pad wear sensor. both vehicles i owned had rear brake failure. the second vechicle i had the idea to continously check the rear brakes. i feel that the ntsha should look in to audi and the lack of a brake failure waring system. secondly, the first failure i have was completely covered by warranty. the current car was not covered. audi has unilaterally chaged ther warranty policy. the have decided no long to warranty wearable parts. for the record the warrant stated that wearable brake parts are covered. | |||
