A visit to the internet displays so many complaints regarding this part that there is not time enough to read them all. Audi not only refuses to recall this part (since no one dies in an accident because of it) but they also refuse to document your complaint to generate a list of complaints regarding this part. I first was told I had to go to an Audi dealer to have the malfunction validated (a private auto repair shop would not do), but after I paid Audi $60. 00 for a diagnostic, Audi USA still could only tell me that there had not been a recall and maybe the dealer could do something to help me.

Audi A6 abs not functioning after only 58,000 miles. Audi refuses to stand behind its engineering and repair. Diagnosis" abs control unit is no longer communicating with the instrument cluster". Cost over $800 to replace and can only be replaced by Audi dealer. Many A6 owners have same problem, yet Audi has not issued a "campaign" / recall. Isn't abs intrinsic to the safety of the car. . . Sort of like the airbags? why not engineered to last longer than 58,000 miles? or, could it be engineered on purpose to generate dealer service revenue? something not right here.

The problem causes intermittent abs failure which will pulsate brakes occassionally in situations where braking would not require abs activity (ie. Light braking to slow vehicle slightly on dry pavement). This could slow braking response and increase chances of an accident occuring. This problem is commonly discussed in Audi user forums and appears to have a fairly high occurence.
