| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Our 1999.5 audi avant quattro vin[xxx] has passed 80,000 miles. the antilock brake system (abs) controller has failed causing intermittent failure of the abs system. the result is inconsistent and dangerous handling of the vehicle in low traction conditions -- the very conditions audi quitter's are purchased for! repair of the system is in excess of 25% of the value of the market car. a search of several internet audi sites revealed that this is a common problem with many current audi models. audi of america refuses to fix this problem under recall. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
