Cruise Control problem #1

The contact owns a 2005 Audi A8. While driving 70 mph with the cruise control activated the contact heard a bell sound and the cruise control failed. The vehicle decelerated, but did not shut off. The vehicle was taken to a dealer approximately ten times, but the cause of failure could not be determined. The dealer stated that the failure was a normal characteristic of the vehicle. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was 23,800, and failure mileage was 10,000. Update 05/04/tr.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #2

Adaptive module j428 failed and brakes seized while vehicle was in motion. . Audi customer service said that since they could not find a recall and the vehicle was nine years old they thought it was not thier problem. I think the problem could hav e resulted in a serious accident at high speeds and could have killed me. I paid for the repair but told them they should check ihto the problem becuase of the safety issue but did not receive a positive response. I feel the problem should be researched and I would like feed back on any information that would result from the research.
