| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 audi a4 1.8 t: experienced three ignition coil failures within the past 20 days. when failure occurs the vehicle cannot be driven and requires towing on a flat bed trailer. personal experience and internet research, see audiworld.com a4 (b6) forum and search "coil pack" , indicates a virtual certainty that the coil pack will fail, yet audi will not replace/recall until failure has occurred. this will leave the vehicle and motorist stranded on the road side until towed. present winter conditions of 20 degrees f with snow poses an unnecessary risk. an immediate recall is necessary to replace defective coil packs before failure on the highway. |
