2001 AUDI TT Complaints

VEHICLE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS ON A VERY COLD DAY (15 DEGREES). STARTED CAR AND LET VEHICLE WARM UP. THEN I STARTED HOME. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES ON DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET THE CAR INTO ANOTHER GEAR. I FINALLY NOTICED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS NOT RETRACTING COMPLETELY. I HAD TO USE MY FOOT TO BRING THE PEDAL UP TO ITS NORMAL NON-DEPRESSED POSITION. *CB

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE FOR 2ND TIME. NOTHING WORKS IN DASH AND AUDI WILL NOT COVER. NO ODOMETER, TACH, FUEL GAUGE, OIL SENSORS, NOTHING. LEFT WIFE STRANDED BECAUSE IT SHOWED A HALF TANK OF GAS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. SHE HAD TO WALK 2 MILES TO GET HOME. WHAT IF SHE HAD BEEN RAPED, KILLED, ETC. THERE ARE OVER 2600 COMPLAINTS ON AUDIFORUM WHERE PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED UP TO 3 CLUSTERS FOR THE SAME REASON.*AK

MY 2001 AUDI TT ROADSTERS AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING A DIRECT FRONTAL COLLISION. THE COLLISION FORCE WAS ENOUGH TO SHEAR THE ALUMINUM BUMPER REINFORCEMENT IN THE MIDDLE AS WELL AS WRAP THE RADIATOR AROUND THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN FOR REPAIRS WHICH NOW TOTAL OVER $13,000. IN EARLY 2003 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. ON THE THIRD (3RD) VISIT THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. I AM CONCERNED THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM FAILURE?*AK

THE ABS FAILED TO ENGAGED WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSE TO. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT DIDN'T HOLD. *NLM

LOWER BALL JOINT NOISE. PREVIOUSLY ADJUSTED AND PREVIOUSLY REPLACED ENTIRE LOWER CONTROL ARM. ELECTRICAL GHOST OBSTRUCTS SEVERAL FUNCTIONS. NOISY A/C CLUTCH. UNIDENTIFIED THUMP WHILE DOWNSHIFTING. SECONDARY ACTUATOR VALVE. SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT. BLOWER MOTOR FAILURE. *NLM

THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HEAVY VIBRATION, AND FORCED TO PULL OVER. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY COIL. *JB

WHEN DRIVING CAR INTERMITTEDLY MAINTAINS SPEED WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF GAS. ALSO INTERMITTEDLY, WHEN CAR IDELS IT FEELS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL LIKE CAR IS LOSING POWER.

FAILURE OF COILPACK IN 2001 AUDI TT COUPE - CAUSES SEVER LOSS OF POWER MAKING CAR PRONE TO FAILURE AND INABILITY TO DRIVE. PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND HAPPENED TO ME ON A VERY DANGEROUS AND BUSY HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD A MAJOR COMPUTER MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE TO ROTATE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK AGAIN CONTINIOUSLY. CLUTHH PEDAL WHEN WET TURNS INTO A SLIPPERY SURFACE DUE TO THE METAL ON THE PEDAL CAUSING THE FOOT TO SLIP OFF. THE SEAT BELT DESIGN FOR THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGERS IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE SEATBELT NOT TO RETRACT. THIS CREATES THE DANGER OF THE SEAT BELT NOT WORKING AS INTENDED.

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT REGISTERING PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL IN FUEL TANK. DEALER MADE REPAIRS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
