An ignition coil on my 2001 Audi A4 failed, causing an extreme loss of power, poor steering and braking. The potential for an accident exists, especially if driving at a higher speed, or in poor weather conditions (as I was). The dealer was authorized to only repair the 1 failed coil, and I am at risk for further failures, a safety concern for me.
2001 Audi A4 avant quatro, about 17k miles. Failure of ignition coil at cold stratup. Found numerous reported cases of same problem, related to 1. 8t engine Audi or vw - so common that part is on backlog for 2 weeks or more! dealer refuses to change all ignition coils, so it is very likely that another one may fail soon. Sudden failure of ignition coil may create a very dangerous situation - lost of power in traffick at high speed. Audi/vw should be forced to do a recall of all ignition coils for the 2001 and 2002 models equipped with 1. 8t engines.
For the second time on my Audi A4 turbo the ignition coil failed,causing car to completely loose power on busy road. My vehicle only has 12,500 miles on it and the dealership will not change all coils. They also refuse to do a trade in on the vehicle.
Third failure of ignition coil (while car being driven) within 2 months. This problem looks like it is similar to odi id 770040. Dt.
Failure of ignition coil. Car sputters. Audi only replacing the coil that malfunctioned leaving the rest of the cylinders subject to the same dangerous failure, as all coils obviously were the same when installed at factory and therefore all are potentially faulty.
The consumer was exiting the freeway when the ignition coil failed. There was a significant loss of power. Scc.
