NHTSA Complaint #10343478 — 2006 AUDI A4

I HAVE HAD A CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 AUDI A4 QUATTRO 2.0 WITH ACCELERATION WHILE PULLING OUT UNTO A HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE BOGS DOWN IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MY PRIVATE MECHANIC PROVIDED ME A BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. THE AUDI DEALER HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING ABNORMAL CAMSHAFT WEAR AND FAILURE WITH THE STANDARD STOCK FACTORY INSTALLED PUMPS WHICH ARE FROM A DESIGN FLAW. THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. THE NHTSA HAS THREE ITEMS#10024427, 10030593 AND 10025965 REGARDING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. IN CHECKING ONLINE WITH A GOOGLE SEARCH, IT APPEARS MANY 2004-06 AUDI'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WHICH CREATE A DANGER TO THE DRIVING PUBLIC. THE TSB IS NOT MAKING AUDI LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM AND I FEEL MANY CONSUMERS ARE PLANNING TO MAKE REPAIRS FOR AUDI'S DESIGN FLAW INCLUDING THEIR COVER-UP OF THE DESIGN FLAW. IT IS CRITICAL THAT THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME HE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND OR THE IGNITION COILS. NUMEROUS TIMES, THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND UPON INSPECTION THE TECHNICIAN NOTED AN OIL PRESSURE ISSUE INVOLVING THE CYLINDER HEAD, BEARINGS AND SHORT BLOCK. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WERE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CAMSHAFT.
