DRIVING VEHICLE AND IT STARTED SHAKING. GOT THE CAR HOME AND WHEN I SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT RATTLED AND SOUNDED LIKE METAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD IT CHECKED BY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER WERE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS JUST TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TO TELL ME I NEEDED NEW CYLINDERS BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START. QUOTED ME $7,500 TO REPAIR. I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE CLASS ACTION SUIT BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT BREAK UNTIL AFTER THE WINDOW CLOSED. AUDI KNEW ABOUT THE FAILURE AND DID NOTHING TO WARN OWNERS.

TAKATA INFLATOR: FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS, IF NOT MORE, WE HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES FROM AUDI USA TO CALL OUR LOCAL SERVICE AGENT AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO IN AND HAVE THE AIRBAGS CHANGED. WE HAVE CONTACTED THEM ASKING FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS WORK DONE ON AN ALMOST MONTHLY BASIS AND THEY NEVER HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE A4 HAS BEEN LOCATED IN HUMID SOUTH FLORIDA FOR ALL IT'S LIFE AND IT IS NOW 10 YEARS OLD. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE'D LIKE TO HAND IT DOWN TO OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER, HOWEVER, WE ARE RELUCTANT UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THE COLLECTION, OUR LOCAL AUDI DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS.
