Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle is a 2000 audi a6 with 2.7t engine.ileage: 52000.failure: dealer diagnosed abs/controller was bad and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1300.00. the problem causes intermittent abs failure which will pulsate brakes occassionally in situations where braking would not require abs activity (ie. light braking to slow vehicle slightly on dry pavement). this could slow braking response and increase chances of an accident occuring. this problem is commonly discussed in audi user forums and appears to have a fairly high occurence. *ak
