NHTSA Complaint #10810842 — 2006 AUDI A6

I RESEARCHED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FOUND THAT NHTSA ID'S 10555091 AND 10444769 DESCRIBE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED. I PUT THE KEY IN THE CAR TO START IT AND THE IT WOULD NOT EVEN TURN OVER. THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, THE RADIO WORKS, HOWEVER THE CAR IS STUCK IN PARK AND ALL WHEELS ARE LOCKED. CAR HAD TO HAVE DOLLIES PUT UNDER EACH WHEEL IN ORDER TO ROLL IT UP ONTO A TOW TRUCK. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE TO BE A FAILED COMPUTER MODULE ON THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH CANNOT BE REMOVED AND REPLACED BY ITSELF. THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE SO MANY FORUMS OUT THERE DESCRIBING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS MUST BE INVESTIGATED AND TAKEN CARE OF. I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR CAR REPAIRS, HOWEVER, WHEN THERE IS A PATTERN OF UNUSUAL AND EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIRS, THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
