Suspension problem #1

When driving in snow at slow speed suspension was in up position. When driving at highway speeds suspension was lower. Snow and ice were packed in wheel well, causing road dirt to grind away on rear tires.

Front Suspension problem #2

The contact owns a 2001 Audi allroad Quattro. While driving approximately 30 mph, the front driver side air suspension system failed without warning causing the vehicle to collapse. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to an authorized dealer where they informed him that there was a leak in the air suspension air bag. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the front driver and passenger side air bag suspension were previously replaced in 2005 and 2006. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Air Suspension Lines And Fittings problem #3

2001 Audi a6 allroad. After the car sits for a period of 5+day undriven, the airbag suspension of this car leaks, lending the car undriveable unless the power system from the car can auto level the vehicle again. No fault codes are shown in the ecu. Ii have pictures of the vehicle with the suspension not level. Dangerous! the dealership cannot recreate this occurance which has been photographed on more than one occasion. Therefore, I am left to drive a car with a leaking suspension, which may result in improper handling, driving or suspension failure. This is not acceptable for this to be occurring. Aoa told me today that the car is "performing to specification," which is a lie, or all of these a6 allroads would have lleaking suspensions.
