I took my vehicle to repair for 2 recalls on 2/22/21, the next day 2/23/21 they called me telling me that I have to pay $ 550. 00 for the repair. According to downtown Audi tech the ecu of my vehicle is defective because they cannot communicate with the vehicle's computer, before taking the vehicle to repair the recalls it was in good condition since I changed the oil and connected my scanner to reset the maintenance message on the vehicle dashboard. This is absurd that they want to scam their customers. Now they want to give me the vehicle without repairing the recalls and with lights on on the dashboard of my vehicle, this is not ethical or professional.
My A6 sunroof shattered, while driving on 2-24-2018, on the highway going to memphis, TN.
My mil ( malfunction indicator lamp ) came on, in my Audi A6 2012 on 1/21/18. I made an appointment with my Audi dealership on 1/31/18. I was informed that my trans coolant valve was leaking into a wiring harness. They replaced my n509 valve and wiring connector. I found a technical service bulletin regarding this problem in my car as well as other Audi models. There was a recall for this in Audi a8 2010-2013. ( I have included these in the files that I have uploaded. ) the affected a8 vehicles have a coolant valve leak allowing coolant to enter the engine control module causing a loss of power or the engine to stall. A vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash. I had my car repaired as my wife drives this car and I certainly did not want the car to stall and possibly have a crash. It seems to me that the Audi A6 2012 should also be included in this recall. If any additional information is needed, please contact me.
Audi 2012 A6 #1 I tried to fuel my car and the access door to the gas cap would not open in the cold weather of November 2016. I tried the emergency pull cord in my trunk and that wouldn't unlock the access door either? the next thing I did was drive home praying that I would not run out of fuel. I parked my car in my warm garage and after about an hour and half I banged on the access door a number of times and it finally popped open. There was no evidence of ice or water that would have prevented the door from opening. . #2 this failure happened at least 3 or 4 times before I had to bring my car to my dealer to have them get the access door unlocked. #3 the dealer had to order the door lock part and replace the access door lock which when they finished cost me a ridiculous $250. 00! when I called Audi customer advocate, she danced around my question of how much should that repair cost me. I asked the advocate how much would Audi have paid the dealer if my car was still under warranty and they wouldn't volunteer that info either. In closing, I find this to be a serious defect and it can endanger lives if a woman with children should run out of fuel and have no way of opening the access door. Btw, I have the defective lock and there is no way that you can get the lock to open with the pull cord. When I spoke with the service rep at the dealership, she admitted that this gas door lock malfunctions especially in cold weather. How can a manufacturer get away with installing an undependable fuel access door lock and not even have an emergency pull cord that will open the door no matter how hard you pull on it?.
