2000 AUDI A6 Complaints

NOTICE A REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEM WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE UNLESS THE BRAKE IS PUSHED ALMOST OT THE FLOOR AND THE CAR IS STOPPED, BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON UNLESS YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES VERY HARD, ENGINE ACCELERATION THE ENGINE GOES FULL THROTTLE AND "TAKES OFF"

FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN AFTER DRIVING, THEN IT'S RE-STARTED THE ENGIN IDLES ROUGH. AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COME ON, AND THE ENGINES POWER IS REDUCED. IT WON'T GO FASTER THAN 15 MPH.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 6 MONTHS, AND HAVE HAD NO COLLISIONS OR OTHER UNUSUAL IMPACTS TO TIRES. AFTER ONLY 800 MILES OF SERVICE, MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A BULGING KNOT IN THE SIDEWALL. DEALER INSPECTED THE TIRE AND COULD FIND NO INDICATION OF "IMPACT" INJURY SO TIRE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AS VEHICLE WAS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD. NOW I HAVE DISCOVERED 3 MORE OF THE TIRES (LF, RF & RR) HAVE DEVELOPED SIMILAR BULGING KNOTS IN THE SIDEWALL, ONE OF WHICH IS THE TIRE THAT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT 800 MILES. I DRIVE ONLY ON PAVED CITY STREETS, AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED TIRE FAILURES OF THIS TYPE ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED, SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION IS DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS.*AK( DOT NUMBER: DMCE22D TIRE SIZE: 255/40ZR17 )
