 In november of 2010, i was driving in my 2004 1.8 audi tt at approximately 45 miles per hour. without warning, the car lost all power in the middle of the road. fortunately, the car lost power at 1:00 am or i may have been easily hit/killed by the heavy flow of daytime traffic. as it turns out, there was an ignition coil recall on my vehicle. i never received notice of such recall and as a result, was put in danger by operating a vehicle with a known defect and suffered over two thousand dollars in related repair expense. the mechanic at audi told me my fuel pump, collant temp sensor, crank sensor and ignition coil needed to be replaced. he was quite surprised that the previous audi dealership did not correct the recall during routine service. my vehicle was perfectly maintained, serviced by an audi dealership and had approximately 32,000 miles. failure of audi to notify me of the recall and failure of the audi dealership to correct the ignition coil during routine service could have resulted in grave injury. both audi corp and the individual audi dealership displayed a careless disregard for my safety and any others who may have been impacted by my vehicle failure.

 The transmission slips violently between 2 nd and 3 rd gear. there was a complete loss of power with the pedal down completely. after research have discovered that the design of these triptonic transmissions which can be switched from manual to automatic are faulty and costly to repair. i am considering a valve body replacement which may or may not fix the problem. audi does not stand behind their product. this is a common problem among audi owners. *tr

 Tl-the contact owns a 2004 audi tt1.8 coupe. the contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle would jerk in between gears and stall. after the failure, the vehicle could not be shifted in or out of any gear. by turning the engine off and then restarting, the failure would correct itself but would recur after several minutes. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that they needed to replace the transmission. the manufacturer was notified of the failure who offered to buy the vehicle back but the contact refused. the failure mileage was 70,000. kmj
