2003 AUDI RS6 Suspensionrear Problems

MY 2003 AUDI RS6 HAS SUFFERED ITS 5TH DRC FAILURE IN 4 YEARS AS FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS ONCE AGAIN LEAKED FLUID OUT RESULTING IN DANGEROUSLY IMPROPER HANDLING. IF I HADN'T KNOWN WHAT WAS HAPPENING IT COULD CAUSE ONE TO THINK THAT THE RACE TUNED SUSPENSION WAS WORKING AND THAT AGGRESSIVE DRIVING IN THIS 450 HORSEPOWER CAR COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. AUDI CONTINUES TO CHARGE ITS CUSTOMERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY SYSTEM WITH MORE FAULTY PARTS AS THEY REFUSE TO REDESIGN THE SYSTEM AND OPT FOR INSTEAD PUTTING MORE FAULTY PARTS ON THE CAR WHICH THEY FULL WELL KNOW WILL FAIL AGAIN. PLEASE HELP US FORCE AUDI TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE AS A RESULT. IT MAY HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED BUT NOBODY HAS CONNECTED IT YET. THERE IS A WEBSITE FOR RS6 OWNERS THAT HAS TAKEN A POLL, AND OVER 75%...

MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR SUSPENSIONS REPLACED 2-6 TIMES DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. MY SUSPENSION COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2.5 TIMES. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT MOST ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS IN THE SUSPENSION HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST WELL OVER $12,000. 1. EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: OCCURS DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS 2. FAILURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES: EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS HANDLING OF THE CAR OVER UNEVEN TERRAIN (MAN HOLE COVERS, SMALL CRACKS WILL SEND THE CAR DRIFTING INTO...

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A FAMILY VACATION TO NASHVILLE TN FROM MILWAUKEE, AND I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION WAS VERY BOUNCY. I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE EXTRA WEIGHT OF THE LUGGAGE IN THE TRUNK, BUT AS THE VACATION WENT ON, THE BOUNCE GOT WORSE. BY THE TIME WE WERE HEADED BACK TO MILWAUKEE, THE BOUNCE WAS SO BAD, THAT THE CAR WOULD LOSE CONTROL WHILE GOING OVER ROUGH HIGHWAY. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, AND WERE TOLD THAT THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM HAD A LEAK IN ONE OF THE REAR SHOCKS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED, ALL FOUR OF THE SHOCKS HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO BALANCE THE PRESSURE IN EACH ABSORBER. MY CAR WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR 2 WEEKS, AND THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED, THE MECHANIC STATED...
