NHTSA Complaint #10605840 — 2006 AUDI A4

ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16TH AT APPROXIMATELY 5:30 P.M. IT WAS DETERMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT ASE CERTIFIED AUTO-CENTER IN MILFORD, OHIO THAT THE ENGINE HAD GOOD OIL PRESSURE HOWEVER AUDI STATED THAT THERE WAS ENGINE DAMAGE. THE CAM SHAFT DID SHOW WEAR AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE P CODES P2293 AND P0089 ON THE HPFP. I THEN RETURNED THAT INFORMATION BACK TO AUDI DEALERSHIP ? AUDI CONNECTION IN MONTGOMERY, OHIO WHERE I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINING THAT THEY DID NOT SEE ANY SIGNS OF LOW OIL PRESSURE ISSUES AND REQUESTED THEM TO HONOR THE INTERNALCAMPAIGN ON THE WORN CAM SHAFT/CAM FOLLOWER ISSUE. HE THEN REFUSED TO HONOR MY APPEAL AND STATED THAT IT DID HAVE INTERNAL DAMAGE DUE TO LACKOF OIL PRESSURE SHOWING NO EVIDENCE ONLY TO REFUSE TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER ANY FURTHER WITH ME RETURNING BACK TO HIS OFFICE. THEN AUDI CONNECTION DID RELENT WEEKS LATER, AFTER STATING EARLIER THAT THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE WORK, OFFERING TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS AT A LATER TIMELINE; A TIMELINE THAT I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND PAYING ON A RENTAL. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TYPE; AUDI A4 T2.0 QUATTRO 2006 YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL HAS A HISTORY OF OIL SLUDGE ISSUES AND AUDIUSA HAS HAD CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ON SUCH EVENTS-BELOW IS ONE SIMILAR TO MINE..."A SETTLEMENT NOTICE FOR THE VW AND AUDI OIL SLUDGE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WILL BE MAILED AND PUBLISHED IN USA TODAY ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 29, 2010. THE FINAL APPROVAL HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 11, 2011." SINCE THEN, WHILE THE INDEPENDENT ASE CERTIFIED AUTO-CENTER IN MILFORD, OHIO DID LATER DISCOVER UNREPAIRABLE ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO OIL SLUDGE ISSUES-KNOWN ISSUES TO AUDIUSA. I HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET OVER $9,000 ON REPAIRS ALONE THAT AUDI KNEW ABOUT, BUT FAILED TO HELP IN ANY WAY...ANOTHER BIG BUSINESS WINS AGAIN OVER THE COMMON PERSON. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS MORE TO THIS ISSUE THAN WE KNOW. *TR
