Problem one the car was burning through a quart of expensive oil every 300 miles. Took it in,dropped the engine,changed all pistons,removed crankshaft oil seal,faulty high mount brake light,pressure regulating valve all replaced. Car was accelerating with and without hesitation,but dealer duplicated the occurance and said they fixed. One month later,car smelled like gas and was taking off on it's own brought back dealer could not duplicate. Very bad smell of gas and rapid acceleration -dealer removed engine again replaced all valves,diagnosis purge valve stuck. Suspected injector seal. Replaced 4 injector seals, smell persisted. Replaced intake valve,remove and replace purge valve assembly. Pistons have all been replaced,engine has been completely removed twice, and the transmission is still jumping and the car accelerates by itself. Audi refuses to recignize the problem , I have only 1200 miles left on warranty. I have only had this car 7 months and am afraid to drive but Audi offers no options-I asked for extended warranty on the engine and they said no. I have the car in my posession with the acceleration issue and periodically smells of gas. I drive 3 children to and from .
