| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On november 14th my a4 1.8 stalled, was towed to the dealer, a coil was replaced...when i drove the car home it would thump and jerk up around 60 mph. i returned it to the dealer who stated that it could again be another coil but were not permitted to replace all the coils the day before because manufacturer wouldn't pay for anything more than the faulty coil...even though they figured more might fail...well, it turns out it was the "throttle" - they reset it and i picked up the car and started driving home when it thumped and jerked again...turned around and returned it to the dealer...this all happened on the 15th...it is now the 18th and after working with their engineers, they fear they may now need to replace the entire transmission...i am just glad that i have a loaner car and that i have 5k more miles on my warranty...i think i am going to by the extended since this is 3 huge problems in 5 weeks time! *jb |
