NHTSA Complaint #10224147 — 2003 AUDI RS6

MY 2003 AUDI RS6 HAS SUFFERED ITS 5TH DRC FAILURE IN 4 YEARS AS FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS ONCE AGAIN LEAKED FLUID OUT RESULTING IN DANGEROUSLY IMPROPER HANDLING. IF I HADN'T KNOWN WHAT WAS HAPPENING IT COULD CAUSE ONE TO THINK THAT THE RACE TUNED SUSPENSION WAS WORKING AND THAT AGGRESSIVE DRIVING IN THIS 450 HORSEPOWER CAR COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. AUDI CONTINUES TO CHARGE ITS CUSTOMERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY SYSTEM WITH MORE FAULTY PARTS AS THEY REFUSE TO REDESIGN THE SYSTEM AND OPT FOR INSTEAD PUTTING MORE FAULTY PARTS ON THE CAR WHICH THEY FULL WELL KNOW WILL FAIL AGAIN. PLEASE HELP US FORCE AUDI TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE AS A RESULT. IT MAY HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED BUT NOBODY HAS CONNECTED IT YET. THERE IS A WEBSITE FOR RS6 OWNERS THAT HAS TAKEN A POLL, AND OVER 75% OF THE 1200 CARS SENT TO THE USA HAVE SUFFERED AT LEAST ONE FAILURE, SOME AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THIS IS CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT BEHAVIOR AND WE OWNERS ARE APPEALING TO YOU TO STEP IN AND START AN INVESTIGATION. REMEMBER, THIS IS THE SAME COMPANY THAT SUFFERED THE 'UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" FISACO IN THE LATE 80'S, AND IT WASN'T UNTIL 60 MINUTES DID A STORY ON IT THAT SOMETHING WAS DONE. WE NEED THIS KIND OF INTERVENTION TO FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS FAULT. HOW MANY HAVE TO COMPLAIN UNTIL YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR
