2 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2016

We bought two 2009 Audi A4's for our children. Last month one went to the the dealer because the engine failed and needed to be rebuilt because of oil consumption issue, while there the dealer informed us that the water pump was failing and needed to be replace. I questioned the dealer and called an independent Audi mechanic, both said the same thing, we were lucky it lasted this long Audi has known from the beginning that this water pump is flawed and should have been recalled. Now fast-forward to yesterday, my daughter took hers in for an oil change and the mechanic, a different independent Audi mechanic, said car was fine except water pump was failing!!!! he said its a known problem and Audi is fully aware of it, its a $1200 repair not including the suggested timing belt change. Two cars, same exact model and engine, this cannot be a coincidence. Please help!!!.
