 The instrument cluster on my 2002 audi tt roadster began to fail in august 2007. by the end of the summer, not one number on the panel could be read...it was in complete failure. because of the failure i cannot drive my car at all because i would have no idea of how much gas i had nor would i know at what rate of speed i was traveling. there was a class action lawsuit on this issue which was settled this year and i received notification of it in april 2008...which, at the time of receipt placed my car outside of the six year limitation period...even though the car is a 2002 and the panel failed last year. i am being told that my car will not be repaired by audi of america unless i pay the $1,300.00 charge to have it fixed. this is an audi problem and they are trying to turn it into my problem. this is a very expensive car which is never driven in the snow and is a garage queen. i can't drive it and now, i can't even sell it...who would want to buy it? it is unsafe to drive and i would not take it onto the highway without the instrument cluster working. i cannot afford to have it repaired, therefore, i have an expensive little car sitting in my garage which cannot even be used. what should i do? *tr updated 06/10/08

 2002 audi tt had instrument cluster replaced @41,000 miles when i bought the car in january 2007. recently, the battery went dead after sitting 5 days. when it was restarted and the battery recharged, the instrument cluster is acting up again. i understand that this is a very normal occurrence in these cars. the problem can (and has) caused the speedometer to stop working. there is now 45,00 miles on this car. *tr

 2002 audi tt roadster with instrument cluster problems. consumer states that instrument panel problems have escalated to serious operational problems. *nj the consumer stated the liquid crystal display has failed and did not indicate readable information. there was no way of knowing the level of fuel in the vehicle or the engine operating temperature. the display pixels did not illuminate, so it was impossible to understand the warnings that were being displayed. *jb

 Direct ignition coil failure due to cold weather. lost one coil on a cold day and was told by my service advisor that this was common and that audi was already redesigning the unit. they replace only the bad coil as they had been instructed too due to lack of spare parts. very unhappy that i will be driving a vehicle that will have 3 more potential problems waiting to happen.
