Audi offered a warranty extension for intake manifold & fuel injectors in certain 2008-2011 model year Audi vehicles with 2. 0 tfsi engine. Audi rejected our claim for a faulty fuel injector in our 2011 car citing that “vehicle does not have the extended warranty for fuel injectors and the information that was submitted was only for 2. 0 tfsi engine's with the engine code of cbfa & ccta. The engine in your vehicle is a 3. 2 fsi with the engine code calb. So this warranty extension would not be applicable to your vehicle. ” our Audi dealership diagnosed our car with the same fuel injector issue listed by Audi in this warranty extension as well as stating that this is a very common issue with our make, model and year. Our Audi is a 2011 model, less than 120,000 miles, and less than 10 years when the malfunction indicator lamp appeared. Their letter does not stand to prove that a faulty fuel injector was not placed in our car that was built in 2011, the same year that they installed faulty fuel injectors in their 2. 0 tfsi engines. Audi dealership diagnosed our car as suffering from misfire conditions that in turn cause the malfunction indicator lamp to appear. The dealership indicates that this is a common issue with Audis during our production year. This is the same issue that Audi listed in their warranty extension letter to consumers with 2. 0 tfsi engines. Our car meets all the requirements in Audi’s warranty extension letter (2011 model, less than 120,000 miles, and less than 10 years when the malfunction indicator lamp appeared) except that our car is a 3. 2 fsi vs 2. 0 tfsi. Audi is not able show that they did not install a faulty fuel injector into our car. Fuel injector problems in cars with mileage under 100,000 miles and less than 10 years of age is very uncommon. This plus Audi’s history of installing faulty fuel injectors into cars built in our year lead us to believe that Audi also installed a faulty fuel injector into our car.

My vehicle went to the Audi fife dealership. Advised I needed a new engine. I tried to trade in the vehicle and I was advised that my car had -0-trade in value. They wouldn't accept on a trade-in. They said it was worthless. I towed the vehicle home and I noticed on my paperwork that the dealership completed "3" recalls without my permission or knowledge. I asked service why they completed these recalls on a worthless vehicle that I had to tow home. A vehicle the dealership didn't want. I found out that this dealership is collecting over $14,000 for recalls that I didn't authorize on a vehicle that they said was worthless. I can't even verify if the dealership actually did the recalls. This is an unethical practice for this dealership to tell me my vehicle is worthless without an engine; won't accept on a trade; towed my vehicle home but they collect $14,000.
