    MY 2001 AUDI S4 DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH ITS GAUGE CLUSTER, AND THE PROBLEMS HAVE GROWN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE INFORMATION DISPLAY IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SAFETY OF DAILY DRIVING. VEHICLE WARNINGS ARE DISPLAYED ON THE CLUSTER WHICH IS NOW UNREADABLE. IT WAS THE INTENT OF AUDI FOR THIS PART TO SERVE THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING THE DRIVER WITH NEEDED SAFETY INFORMATION. *JB

    THE LED CENTER DISPLAY IN THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER IS FAILING ON MY 2001 AUDI S4. THE CLUSTER WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER, BUT IS FAILING AGAIN. THE CENTER DISPLAY IS USED TO SHOW IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES SUCH AS DANGEROUSLY LOW OIL LEVELS, BRAKE PADS NEEDING REPLACEMENT, ETC. AUDI WILL ONLY REPLACE THESE FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY AND CHARGES AN ARM AND A LEG TO REPLACE OUT OF WARRANTY. APPARENTLY THE CENTER DISPLAY IS NOT SEPARATELY REPLACEABLE AND THE WHOLE GAUGE CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS ALSO WAS AN ISSUE ON MY 1998 AUDI A4, BUILT ON THE SAME 'B5' PLATFORM AS MY CURRENT S4. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON MANY MODEL YEARS THAT AUDI OF AMERICA IS CHOOSING TO IGNORE AND HOPE THAT IT WILL GO AWAY AS THESE CARS AGE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE AS MORE AND MORE CLUSTERS GO BAD. *TR
