Consumer Description

MY AUDI A-4 WAS PARKED ALL DAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE ONLY IN THE DASH. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO AUDI THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A REPORT AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR. THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULD NOT TELL IF IT WAS TAMPERED WITH. THE FIRE DEPT THAT PUT OUT THE FIRE, SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THIS CAR IS STOCK, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND MODULE. THIS CAR HAS HAD RECALLS AND MAY COMPLAINTS. THIS COULD CAUSED INJURY AND DEATH IF MY CHILD AND I WERE IN THE CAR. I FEEL AS IF I AM BEING BLOWN OFF, I HAVE CALLED AND SPOKE TO MANY PEOPLE AND THERE IS NO STRAIGHT ANSWER. NOW MY CAR IS SITTING AT SCOTTADALE PAINT AND AUTO BODY WHERE I WAS INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE IT BY AUDI. I HAVE CALLED THERE TODAY TO CHECK ON MY CAR AND NO ONE CAN FIND IT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN SENDING E-MAIL AND SO ON. *JB
