Consumer Description

2002 AUDI A4 1.8 T: EXPERIENCED THREE IGNITION COIL FAILURES WITHIN THE PAST 20 DAYS. WHEN FAILURE OCCURS THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND REQUIRES TOWING ON A FLAT BED TRAILER. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND INTERNET RESEARCH, SEE AUDIWORLD.COM A4 (B6) FORUM AND SEARCH "COIL PACK" , INDICATES A VIRTUAL CERTAINTY THAT THE COIL PACK WILL FAIL, YET AUDI WILL NOT REPLACE/RECALL UNTIL FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THIS WILL LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND MOTORIST STRANDED ON THE ROAD SIDE UNTIL TOWED. PRESENT WINTER CONDITIONS OF 20 DEGREES F WITH SNOW POSES AN UNNECESSARY RISK. AN IMMEDIATE RECALL IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE COIL PACKS BEFORE FAILURE ON THE HIGHWAY.
