Equipment Problems of Audi A6 - part 2

When I was driving, we smelled burning of rubber but thought that it must be from outside. However after driving of another 3-4 miles, suddenly smoke started to come out from air vent mainly on driver and windshield side inside of cabin. I stopped car and turned off. I took it to nearby garage and they checked any leakage of fluid that can cause burning but can't find it which indicates that problem of short circuit and may need to research more. In the night, when I tried to turn cabin lights on, it didn't work which now clearly shows that it's incident of short circuit that cause inside lights dome, reading and other lights off. I was lucky that it didn't caught fire and burned down my car. However this needs to be investigated. I will appointment with dealer and see if I can get pictures or documentation on the details.

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?.

At 5pm on July 20, 2016 I drove my A6 to the home of my granddaughters friend, they are both 15 yrs. Old and were in the car at the time, to drop her off . I pulled into the driveway and when I put the car into park it lunged, at a fast rate, forward smashing into a railroad tie retaining wall and then flew into reverse. During this entire time my foot was on the brake and the shift was in park. As this was happening there was also a loud grinding noise coming from the car. So loud that 2 neighbors came running out of their separate houses. I pulled the emergency brake lever and the car stopped. It had gone backwards down the driveway, about 10 to 15 feet, into the street and back over a curb at such a rate that the back tire blew out. It came to a stop on the lawn just missing a tree trunk by a foot. The car was towed by an Audi dealer and a week later Audi sent an engineer from auburn hills, mi to look at it. They said there's nothing wrong with it. The police were called to the scene and I have a police report. The policeman drove the vehicle off the lawn and he also heard a grinding noise. I will not drive this vehicle again. It is a death trap. I believe something went wrong with either the computer or some other electronic part. The car acted completely on it's own. My husband and I have had at least 8 to 10 Audi's over the years and nothing like this has ever happened to us before. We've also had many other types of vehicles. What can we do?.

While driving 60 mph on the freeway, the car accelerated on its own to 72 mph as if going into cruise control. Confirmed the cruise control switch was turned off. Applied the brakes seven times. Car did not respond to braking. Engine seemed to race against the brakes. I put the car in neutral, moved to side of the road. Applied the hand brake. Turned key off. Car slowed then stopped. Since this incident the car was test driven twice by mechanics, during which it seemed to operate normally. On January 27, 2015 the car was taken to the local dealer, bellevue Audi, for diagnosis.

Good afternoon, first I would like for you to recall the number of cases where police officers were getting cancerous tumors in their necks due to the radar units being mounted on the back or front dash board back in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Also the number of incidents where the police officers were getting testicular cancer from putting the radar guns between their legs when they were not using them. I have a radar wave detection device in my automobile. When I am near a late model Audi [ up to 1/8 of a mile] , my detection device alerts me that a "k" band radar wave is detected. . So my question is simple. Are the side motion detection devices now being installed in Audi and other makes safe for the general public, not just the Audi customers? Audi is aware of the issue. Thanks you.

We have a 2005 Audi A6 purchased cpo in 06. We recently had issues with brake module issues that are still there but waiting on the recall for this issue. Now we have an issue with our mmi system which is the entertainment part of the car. It controls the music, navigation, and some convience features. I have seen a lot of Audi owners with this mmi problem as well. There seems to be a trend with Audi vehicles now. I would think when you make a luxury purchase such as this you would not have these kinds of issues. Certainly if you are not abusing the car in any way. This also needs to be a part of a recall. The first indication was I could not reset the battery after the replacement which was not done by Audi. Then I took it to them to reset the battery level and recode the mmi and Audi could not do it? there is an issue here. . . .

Failed CT emissions test. Check engine light illuminated. Confirmed code to be p0741. Informed by authorized technician that the torque converter requires replacement.

Was driving at approximately 30 mph when the car made a "clunk" sound and I lost any ability to control the vehicle. I pressed the accelerator and nothing happened. The steering wheel completely locked and I had no ability to turn the wheel. I coasted down a hill and the wheel unlocked, but I had no power steering and still no ability to accelerate. I was able to get the car into a parking lot and had it towed to the tucson arizona Audi dealer. They have yet to figure out what the problem was. They replaced the fuel pump twice and tried to run the vehicle but can't keep it running for more than 2 minutes. The car keeps "seizing" up is what the service shop tells me. They still can't fix it and the car only has just over 5,000 miles on it.

I parked my car Friday night when I came from work.

Driving home tonight my car all of a sudden started accelerating (I drive an Audi A6 1999). Using the brakes I was able to slow it down enough to get off the freeway though my brakes seemed to be fighting against the car. I rolled through two stop signs as my car would not stop and luckily avoiding the other cars waiting there I was able to put my car in park and turn off the engine. I waited ten minutes or so and tried starting my car. The engine revved to 4 to 5000 rpms so, I quickly shut it off again. I waited again, tried it once more and the car started fine. I drove home, called the dealership and was told I could be seen on 02/14/11. Four days from now. This is the second time this has happened.

Normal driving conditions. The instrument display doesn't work, and I can't see vital safety and hazardous failures of the vehicle and/or parts, also the rear view mirror has a fluid type substance that clouds the viewing area and it may leak this fluid onto the electronics below. I had to replace both of these items and I have them both.
