Consumer Description

TODAY WAS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THE IGNITION COILS, FIRST OCCURED 7/25/02 W/10500 MILES ON THE CAR, IGNITION COILS 1 & 4 WERE REPLACED. UNKNOWN WHICH COILS HAVE FAILED THIS TIME. IT'S THANKSGIVING DAY, WON'T KNOW UNTIL TOMORROW HOW MANY COILS HAVE FAILED. IN AUGUST I REPORTED THE CAR RUNNING ROUGH AND WANTED THE COILS CHECKED, DEALER STATED THAT WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR HARD FAILURE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. TODAY IS THE SECOND FAILURE IN 5 MONTHS AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR A FULL YEAR YET. THESE FAILURES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE CLOSE TO HOME AND DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED WHEN EACH OCCURRED. DURING TODAY'S FAILURE THE CAR COULD BARELY GO 10MPH TO GET ME HOME. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE AUDI 2002 1.8T. DT
