2004 Audi allroad Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I SMELLED GAS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THERE IS A GAS LEAK FROM ROLLOVER VALVE ON THE GAS TANK. WAS RECALLED IN 2009, REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND FOUND THAT THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN. WITH SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH EPOXY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 AUDI ALLROAD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, BURNING FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A FIRE ERUPTED NEAR THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE STEERING COLUMN AREA. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES WITH WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND LATER TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 08V157000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), 06V198000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 04V133000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE MOON ROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED! IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING, IT JUST EXPLODED. I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT AUDI HAS HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH FAULTY GLASS CAUSING THEIR MOON ROOFS TO EXPLODE AND HAD TO ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED AUDI AND REQUESTED THEM TO REPLACE MY MOON ROOF. THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY, DECIDED THAT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF MY OWN MOON ROOF BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE MODELS RECALLED AND MY CAR IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD SO IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THANK GOD MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR TO BE INJURED BY EXPLODING GLASS AND THANK GOD IT WAS 5:00 IN THE MORNING SO THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND FOR THE EXPLOSION TO HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! AUDI HAS TREATED THIS LIKE IT'S NOT BIG DEAL, SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO HAPPEN AFTER OWNING ONE OF THEIR CARS FOR 10 YEARS, AND THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM FOR HAVING AN "OLD" CAR. SHAME ON A...

ON AUG. 09 2014 COMMING TO A STOP I APPLIED THE BRAKES. ALL OF A SUUDEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLABLE TRYING TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND I STOPED THE CAR AFTER I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY OFF. THIS SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MALFUNCTION ALSO HAPPENED ON JAN. 29, 2006 AND JAN. 30, 2011, ALSO REPORTED TO NHTSA AT THOSE TIMES. IT IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED A.S.A.P. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSE TO TAKE ANY ACTION. *TR
