Driving below recommended speed limit around corner (posted 25mph, going between 10mph and 15mph). Light rain, car slid and brakes locked up causing me to hit a curb and damage my vehicle.
I have 3 major concerns regarding my 2002 Audi A6 3. 0 quattro. I will start with the most dangerous problem first. . . 1) the anti-lock brakes that kick in unexpectedly. The abs/esp problem started in may, 2007, with the abs/esp light coming on intermittently, resulting in us replacing the brake light switch. The problem didn't happen again unitl the anti-lock brakes kicked in, in Aug. , 2009. With no definite, inexpensive fix from the dealer, we decided to see if the problem persisited. It did, bringing the car back in sept. , 2009 & again in June, 2010. At this time, I had a private import garage replace the rotation rate sensor, which was what the dealer said the problem could be. The problem persisted further, with the light coming on every few months, until the brakes kicked in while going 60 mph, making the car skid & jerk to a stop, pulling me off the road in late sept, 2010. It was absolutely terrifying! I had the car back to the dealer immediately, where they were unable to verify the concern. Since then, I have not had problems with it again until April, 2011, when the light starting coming back on at random moments & now yesterday, the anti-lock brakes kicked in while the cruise was set on 60 mph. I am terrified to continue to drive this vehicle. I contacted Audi of America in October 2010 with no help available! now on to problem #2)the flooding in the interior floorboard causing the transmission module to have to be replaced. I spent thousands in oct, 2010 to fix problems caused by a water leak in the car. The dealer replaced the right rear window & door channels & seals, saying this was the problem. I found the floorboard wet again in March, 2011 & had to pay for the cracked pollen filter housing to be fixed. A little help from Audi on that, but these well-documented problems with my car continue to be un-fixable. I've found complaints of these problems from others, am contacting a lawyer about my state's lemon law, & am so disappointed in Audi!.
I own a 2001 Audi A6 quattro. The driver information system has faded to a point n which it is no longer readable. Since all of the diagnostic information if displayed through this system I am afraid damage to my vehicle may occur.
After thirty minutes, ac vent on passenger side starts blowing very hot air. Ten minutes later the ac vent on driver's side does the same. A short while later the two center vents blow hot air. The next day is all starts over. Audi sent out a technical bulletin tb 2013883/1 doing a mea culpa stating it was their fault. When they manufactured it they got metal shavings from the engine into the ac pump. But they are not willing to fix it. I have an estimate for $1300.
My former business partner will not give me back the vehicle that I lent him under my name. It is destroying my credit and I have repeatedly tried to resolve things with him but he isn't cooperating. I spent $1500 to advertise the leased vehicle on swap a lease and he still won't tell me where he lives. I believe he is on the run or is hiding something illegal. I want my vehicle back immediately. I am no longer partners with him since I resigned a week ago. He is still driving my vehicle and is reluctant to give it back. Please help.
I have had a frightening experience with our 1999 Audi A6. When coming to a stop in front of our house, the car began to accelerate and I had to stand on the brake in order to not crash into another car. When I threw it in park it revved to the red line until I turned it off. This is the second time it has happened in a week or so. This is my wife's car and I am terrified that this might happen to her. . . I called an Audi customer advocate and they said that there was no listing for a recall for that problem on our car.
Nhtsa recall already for same problem on other 1998 Audi a-6. Dt.
2000 Audi A6 quattro. Passenger compartment has a persistant and odd odor constantly. It is not a moisture or mold smell nor an oil or gas smell. Almost as if from the upholstery. Anything to do with the disallowance of certain leathers put on the Audi cars in germany in 2000 and before and disallowed after that?.

On the passenger side of the interior, is a high gloss polished wood grain panel. The panel is angled such that when the sunlight hits it from the right rear, it reflects a blinding and very distracting glare that interferes with the driver's ability to concentrate on the road. I have contacted both the dealer and Audi USA but neither are willing to correct the problem.
