NHTSA Complaint #11066897 — 2012 AUDI A6

MY MIL ( MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ) CAME ON, IN MY AUDI A6 2012 ON 1/21/18. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY AUDI DEALERSHIP ON 1/31/18. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRANS COOLANT VALVE WAS LEAKING INTO A WIRING HARNESS. THEY REPLACED MY N509 VALVE AND WIRING CONNECTOR. I FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM IN MY CAR AS WELL AS OTHER AUDI MODELS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS IN AUDI A8 2010-2013. ( I HAVE INCLUDED THESE IN THE FILES THAT I HAVE UPLOADED.) THE AFFECTED A8 VEHICLES HAVE A COOLANT VALVE LEAK ALLOWING COOLANT TO ENTER THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER OR THE ENGINE TO STALL. A VEHICLE STALL INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED AS MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AND I CERTAINLY DID NOT WANT THE CAR TO STALL AND POSSIBLY HAVE A CRASH. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE AUDI A6 2012 SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. IF ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS NEEDED, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
