2004 AUDI A4 Complaints

I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION PRIMARILY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DID NO. *TR

2004 AUDI A4 1.8T STALLED IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 40,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED BY LOCAL DEALER. DRIVER WAS LEFT STRANDED IN CENTRE LANE FOR ALMOST THIRTY MINUTES UNTIL POLICE AND TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. LOCAL AUDI DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A FAILED FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE SAME FUEL PUMP AS THE ONE RECALLED IN THE 03 AUDI A4. WHY HASN'T THE 2004 AUDI A4 BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AS ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD? *TR

2004 AUDI A4 - FUEL PUMP FAILURE AT 46,000 MILES. WELL-MAINTAINED VEHICLE (BY DEALER). THE SAME MODEL (2003) WAS RECALLED FOR FUEL PUMP ISSUES. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS/COMPLAINTS AND ASSOCIATED SAFETY ISSUES, VW/AUDI SHOULD RECALL THE 2004 MODEL AS WELL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WILL NOT START AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY AND PREVENTED FUEL FROM ENTERING THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,885.

FUEL PUMP FAILURE ON 2004 AUDI A4. AUDI HAD A RECALL OF 2003 MODEL A4 AND A6 VEHICLES FOR PREMATURE FUEL PUMP FAILURES. I EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 AUDI A4. WHILE I CAUGHT THIS ISSUE BEFORE A COMPLETE FAILURE, THIS PREMATURE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

TWO OF THE ORIGINAL "COILS" IN MY 2004 AUDI HAVE FAILED ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THESE SHOULD NOT BE FAILING. MY DEALERSHIP STATED THERE IS A HIGH FAILURE RATE. A RECALL OF AUDI COILS WAS LAST MADE IN 2003. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE COILS IN ANTICIPATION OF MORE FAILURES AND UNDER THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEALERSHIP THAT STATED I SHOULD EXPECT ALL COILS TO FAIL. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF A4 AUDI'S SO THE COILS CAN BE REPLACED AND A REIMBURSEMENT TO PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO HAD TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ORIGINAL DEFECT. *TR

THE STEERING RACK HAS A HOLE IN IT AND IS LEAKING INTO THE BOOT. THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED. I NOTICED A SOUND AND STIFFNESS IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH GOES AWAY AFTER THE CAR IS MOBILE FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. *TR

THE CAR WAS MAINTAINED WELL, AS PER MANUFACTURERS SPECS. BOTH THE FUEL PUMP AND POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AT 4 YRS/APPROX 60,000 MILES WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE BY TODAY'S QUALITY STANDARDS DEALER INVESTIGATED AN EXISTING FUEL PUMP RECALL ON THE MODEL BUT MY VIN WAS "OUT OF RANGE". I BELIEVE THE RECALL (06V017) INCORRECTLY EXCLUDED SOME CANDIDATE VINS. *TR

A FUEL PUMPED HAS FAILED IN MY 2004 AUDI A4 QUATTRO 3.0L. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP IN THE PREVIOUS MODEL (2003). WITHIN MY RESEARCH, I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT SEVERAL 2004 OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PREMATURE FAILURE WITH THE FUEL PUMP (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME FUEL PUMP FOR THE 2003 MODEL, AS WELL AS THE 2002 AND 2001). I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF 800 DOLLARS AT AN AUDI DEALER RECENTLY. MY CAR ONLY HAS 60K ON IT, AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING FUEL PUMP ISSUES. I FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD COVER MY CHARGES, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER 2004 A4 OWNERS' CHARGES FOR THE FUEL PUMP FIX. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL, AND I HOPE TO FIND THE REASONING TO BE A SIMILAR INSTANCE AS THE 2003 A4 FUEL PUMP RECALL DETAILED BY THE NHTSA. THANK YOU. *TR
