Instrument cluster failure on 2001 Audi Tt roadster.
Car shows 1/4 of fuel in tank when tank is completely empty causing me to run out of gas multiple times in hazardous situations. I can not read the lcd screen so I can not see any warning lights (gas, oil change, trunk open, etc). My instrument cluster tells me that my vehicle is constantly overheating, which is false. Sometimes when I turn my lights on the dashboard will not light up, nor will it register my rpms or even my speed. If I can not read my speed or even see if I have gas, then I am not safe driving this vehicle. The cluster has now failed completely, which prevented my car from even starting so I had to get it towed to the dealership. Further more, Audi has refused to fully pay for this item to be replaced even though it has been recalled! outrageous.
Failure of gas gauge and ultimate failure of instrument cluster in 2001 Audi Tt. Lost power on very busy highway in a heavy snowstorm, luckily was able to get to shoulder. Had to be towed. Gas gauge indicated one-half tank of gas, but turns out tank was empty. Gauge never operated properly after that. Several weeks later, received notice of class action noting similar instrument cluster failures in this type of car, and extension of warranty to 6 years. Unfortunately my car has been in service 7. 5 years and is not covered by the extension so I will be personally liable for the $1,000 cost for repair for this known problem.
2001 Audi Tt instrument cluster failure. Consumer states that the instrument cluster should be replaced at no cost to her. She states that her fuel gauge is unreliable and does not read the right amount fuel and the liquid crystal display failed.
The instrument cluster goes on the blink and doesn't work efficiently. Since it provides false readings, the operator has to gauge speed, fuel capacity, and deal with emergency actions during engine failure while driving under heavy traffic conditions. This action is a sure cause for unsafe vehicle operation. The instrument cluster also disables the electrical system to keep the engine operating and causes the car to turn off unexpectedly. The gauge cluster was replaced twice within the life of the car. Once in 2002 and 2005. This is the third cluster gone bad.
The instrument cluster failed and I was stranded and unable to operate my car. This failure disabled my ability to start my engine.

Instrument cluster failure - required replacement of part, paid out of pocket - not covered by warranty.
Car had 37,000 miles on it. Instrument cluster failure resulted in an inability to read vehicle speed, engine speed, engine temperature and fuel level. Replacement cluster was acquired at my expense and installed at my expense. Old cluster is available, however I do not want to give it up. This is such a common problem that a repair industry for these instrument clusters has cropped up. I intend to have the old one repaired for the next time the failure occurs.
