I?VE A 92 AUDI 100 CS QUATRO, VIN [XXX]. IT APPEARS THAT NHTSA RECALL ID 97172000 WOULD COVER THIS CAR, AS THE VIN NUMBER IS IN THE RANGE OF APPLICABLE VEHICLES. AS I WRITE THIS, THE DEALER IS REPLACING THIS PART, THE AIRBAG CONTROLLER, BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTICS HAS INDICATED THAT IT HAS FAILED. THIS APPEARS TO FIT WITH THIS RECALL. HOWEVER, WHEN I TALK TO THE DEALER (CHECKERED FLAG, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA) AND THE AUDI SERVICE LINE THEY SAY THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY. THEY PLUG IT INTO THE COMPUTER AND IT SAYS IT DOESN'T APPLY. NOBODY CAN TELL ME IF THE RECALL WAS APPLIED. AND THE RANGE ON THE RECALL DOCUMENT SAYS: [XXX] - [XXX] WHICH CERTAINLY SEEMS TO FIT BY VIN NUMBER (SEE ABOVE) MY COMPLIANT ? EITHER THE RECALL IS NOT BEING HONORED OR THE RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND NOBODY IN THE AUDI CAN CONFIRM THAT IT HAS BEEN APPLIED. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR. SO I CAN'T CONFIRM THAT IT WASN'T APP...

Tires

UPON INSPECTION OF THE TIRES BY THE CONSUMER HE NOTICED CRACKS AROUND THE EDGES OF ALL FOUR TIRES. ALSO, TREAD BEGUN TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE NOT WORN OUT, AND 80% TREAD REMAINED THEM. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE TIRES HAD OVER 5,000 MILES.*AK

Vehicle Speed Control
09/04/2003
WHILE DRIVING, A SUDDEN SURGE IN SPEED CAUSED I BELIEVE BYTHE AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE ON MY 1992 AUDI CS 100. I HIT MY BRAKES, SHIFTEDMY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL AND STOMPED THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPPED RACING. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS IN THE OFF POSITION, IT WAS. THE SAME THING OCCURED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL DISCONNECTED, AFTER WHICH THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY.
