Consumer Description

AUDI CURRENTLY HAS RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH/SPRING PART ON 96-97 MODEL YEAR A4'S. SUSPECT EARLY 98 MODELS HAVE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. PROBLEM IS CAR ACCESSORIES WILL NOT FUNCTION SUCH AS LIGHTS, A/C, ETC, AND ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES "SHUFF OFF" WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OTHER EARLY 98 OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD THE IGINITION SWITCH REPLACED.. REPAIR COST WAS OVER $300. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AUDI REQUEST RECALL OF 98 MODELS AND PROVIDE REFUND TO OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THIS REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT.*AK
