DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL

 1. purchased a 2000 audi a6 2.7t. 2. the auto check system in the instrument cluster does not work especially when warm. the lcd ribbon cable looses contact and doesn't display the information it should. critical safety information is no longer displayed. 3. was quoted obscene amounts by audi dealers to replace entire instrument cluster. $250 for a used cluster that would need the odometer adjusted for an additional fee. *tr

 Although this dealer has had no complaints of this type in 2 years of production, reading audiworld.com and searching for dv brings up hundreds of discussions

 Audi is adding electronic stability program in addition to the items provided in the voluntary recall commencing week 18 for tt models but will not address same in vehicles produced prior to that time in same model year. creates an unfair safety advantage for those vehicles produced after that time and may also affect insurance rates, resale value, safety issues real or perceived. no safety issue mentioned in summary. *ak
SUSPENSION - FRONT

 I am reporting a safety problem, not an accident or a parts failure. the car came equipped with high performance tires. they are bridgestone potenza steel belted radials no 225/45 r17. on any snow the car becomes unstable. it will not climb even the slightest grade. stopping is problematical; it slides every which way. i called audi of north america and was told the correction is to buy snow tires. i was given a number of a dunlop tire to fit my rims. it is called a winter sport and costs $750.00 for four tires. it is inconceivable to me that a car is sold in the midwest with the only method of controlling winter driving is to buy an additional set of tires. i could understand someone wanting better traction in the winter doing so, but not just to be able to drive the car on slippery roads. *ak
