Power Train · at 79,000 miles · reported Dec 21, 2007

A hard turn and quick acceleration to avoid an accident lead to power failure to the wheels, and the check engine light came on. I brought the car to the dealership and the code read "slipping torque converter" the car had only 79,000 miles at the time of this occurrence. Thankfully no one was injured. Audi repair facility told me the torque converter needs to be replaced, the cost would be $900.00 for the part and $2,000.00 for labor. The repairs have yet to be made due to the extensive price for a faulty part and labor. The part is not covered under warranty.

Engine and Engine Cooling · reported Aug 7, 2003

While driving, the vehicle experienced an explosion and check engine light illuminated and there were loud noises coming from under the vehicle and parts of the vehicle were on the ground. The car then was towed to the dealership, and they claimed the vehicle was involved in some type of impact which caused the explosion to occur, and audi was not responsible for damages. The dealership failed to find the proper reason for explosion. The consumer had to purchase a rental car at her own expense to have a vehicle.

Exterior Lighting · reported Jun 17, 2003

The blinding bright headlights on some new cars are dangerous. I flash my brights at them thinking that is the problem. If car manufacturers continue to put them on new cars, will they be liable for accidents caused by the blinding light?
