2007 AUDI A6 Complaints

AUDI 3.2 ENGINE ON A 2007 AUDI A6 (AND SAME ENGINE ON A4 AND OTHER MODELS) HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY FROM A STAND-STILL, SUCH AS A STOP SIGN. DEALER STATES THAT THE POWERTRAIN IS DESIGNED THIS WAY, AND THAT IT IS EITHER THE FSI ENGINE WHICH HAS A CARBON BUILDUP, OR THE CVT TRANSMISSION. EITHER WAY, THE HESITATION AND 2-3 SECOND DELAY IS PROBLEMATIC WHEN AT 4-WAY STOPS, OR WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE DELAY CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. ALSO, THERE IS A LOT OF INFO WEB ABOUT THE FSI ENGINES STALLING FROM THIS ISSUE (IE CARBON BUILDUP). *TR

"DIPPED HEADLIGHT" WARNING APPEAR. IT DOESN'T FLICKER OR ANYTHING, IT JUST TURNS OFF. WHEN I MANUALLY TURN MY LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, IT WORKS FINE FOR A WHILE THE IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I'VE BEEN READING MANY FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DISCOVERED IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS A BULB CHANGE. SO FAR I HAVE NOT TRIED ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, MAINLY BECAUSE MY ISSUE STARTED SATURDAY NIGHT AND NOW IT'S MONDAY.

I HAVE A 2007 AUDI A6 QUATRO. I WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE AND NEEDED TO TURN AROUND. VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BACKED INTO A CEMENT POLE,SLOWLY, BUT ENOUGH TO BE FELT. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN FORWARD AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WE CRASHED HEAD-ON INTO A CEMENT WALL. I KNOW MANY CASES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAVE BEEN REPORTED, WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT DRIVERS HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHEN THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE HITTING THE BRAKE. I WAS NOT TRYING TO BRAKE, I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKES WHEN I HIT THE POLE IN REVERSE AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FORWARD WHEN THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO BRAKE BEFORE WE HIT THE WALL. I HOPE YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS. SOMEONE EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. NOTE, WHEN FILLING OUT THE VEHICLE INFORMATION, IT WAS AN A6. *NM *AK
