Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Audi refuses to pay for fixing a serious safety related service action (service action je - failure of control arms), unless the customer provides detailed maintenance records from an authorized dealer or professional licensed repair facility. this will result in people not fixing this serious issue, endangering not only themselves, but also other individuals. i brought my car in to have this problem checked, and my car has the problem - but they will not pay for the fix, since i perform maintenance on the car myself. note: cracking of control arms is not related to lack of general maintenance. *nm
