| The instrument cluster goes on the blink and doesn't work efficiently. since it provides false readings, the operator has to gauge speed, fuel capacity, and deal with emergency actions during engine failure while driving under heavy traffic conditions. this action is a sure cause for unsafe vehicle operation. the instrument cluster also disables the electrical system to keep the engine operating and causes the car to turn off unexpectedly. the gauge cluster was replaced twice within the life of the car. once in 2002 and 2005. this is the third cluster gone bad. *tr | |||

| (1) events leading up to the failure of my timing belt were normal driving conditions, ie no sounds, smells, or visual damage. (2) on 01/15/2007, my timing belt broke while driving. the consequences are damage to the cylinder head, as well as other parts of the engine. (3) last year, audi changed the time/mileage needed in order to change timing belt from 106,000(as stated in the owner manual, of the audi tt) to 60,000-70,000, according to an employee, i spoke with. i asked the dealership if any notices; mail, e-mail, or phone, were sent out, and their response was, no. because many customer have been having problems with timing belts breaking at an early stage, we let them know as they come in for service. i filed a complaint with the department of consumer affairs on, 1/19/2007. and also contacted audi of america, in which, had me to provide the attorney generals office with my automobiles vin number. *jb | |||
