1999 AUDI A6 Complaints

THE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE WILL BE SIX TIMES. AUDI HAS REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNITS AFTER THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AUDI HAS NOT FIX THE ISSUE YET. I WILL BE PURSUING FULL REMEDY MANDATED BY THE LEMON LAWS. AUDI SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IN NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM AND ALSO STATING THEY DID HAVE FUEL SENDING THAT WOULD OF RESOVE THE PROBLEM WHILE IN FACT THEY DID NOT. *AK

REAR RIMS FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AFTER HITTING A SMALL OBJECT, SIMILAR TO A SMALL TREE BRANCH. THE LEFT REAR RIM WAS COMPLETELY RUINED AND INSTANTLY CAUSED THE TIRE TO DEFLATE, SIMILAR TO A BLOWOUT. THE "RING" OF THE RIM, ON WHICH THE TIRE IS MOUNTED, SEPARATED FROM THE FLAT CIRCLE THE GETS BOLTED ONTO THE AXEL ASSEMBLY. THE RIGHT REAR WAS DAMAGED ENOUGH TO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, ALTHOUGH I COULD NOT SEE ANY DAMAGE. (BECAUSE OF WORK HOURS, I WAS NEVER ABLE TO TALK TO THE DEALER'S REP IN PERSON.) THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN IN ANY SERIOUS INCIDENTS PRIOR TO ACCIDENT. THE DEALER AND AUDI CUSTOMER RELATIONS BOTH CLAIMED IT WAS A NON-WARRANTEE ITEM.*AK

THE FRONT END IS TOO LOW FOR PARKING AT THE CURB, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 FRONT BUMPERS... VERY EXPENSIVE. *AK
