1 Engine problem

Failure Date: 02/16/2004

Unintended acceleration -- car accelerated rapidly. Would not slow even when driver's foot was not on the gas. Engine revved rapidly and would not return to normal idle speed.

2 Engine problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2003

I had a leak in the cam seal and it seems that a lot of others have experienced it in the Audi forum.

Cam seals and main seal both failed and cost over $2000 to repair out of warranty. Very upset since the car only had 58000 miles on it.
