I just happened to look up recalls and saw the complaints on the audi s4 2001. I noticed my car wasn't the only one where the instrument cluster has lost pixels and ends up unreadable for all warnings and manufacturer programmed safety warnings. It has been like this for years and did ask my dealer how much it would cost to fix it and it was insane. It is a real safety issue. Audi should be responsible for fixing it. I didn't realize other audi's were having the same issue. Maybe if more people complain, audi will be forced to fix it.

Cold start on a cold january morning (5 degrees f); upon starting the car the air bag warning light came on and would not shut off. Research (discussions with the dealer and air bag repair businesses) indicate that this is a very common defect for audi s4, model year 2001 and that to repair the problem the air bag control module (computer) would need to be replaced at an exorbitant cost. Airbag system is completely inoperable with the warning light in a lit state. On line audi forums indicate that this is a huge problem on these cars. *tr

I own a 2001 audi s4. The center display on the gauge cluster is failing due to missing pixels. The center display normally displays critical safety information regarding failing engine and body components. It is always missing pixels, and is never clear enough to read properly. Recently, i developed an oil leak and the center display wasn't clear enough to see the low oil warning light. As a result i was stranded in sub-zero temperatures without transportation. I am currently repairing the engine far beyond what would have been necessary, had the center display been working correctly. I have not yet repaired the display, because the dealer is asking $1000 for replacement. I know it a common problem with this car, and due to the age, is reaching a very high percentage of failure. I don't think that failing safety equipment should be a routine maintenance item for anyone, especially when it is a high dollar item. *tr

1) there is no triggering event leading up to the failure. It just appears over time. 2) the lcd screen in the instrument cluster has lines of pixels that do not light up. This is constant, with more lines of pixels going out and permanently staying out over time. As a consequence, important warning messages are not displayed or readable; such as worn out brake pads, fuel low warning, washer fluid low warning, etc. If these warnings are not displayed, the vehicle may run out of gas without warning and stall while operating, or brakes may wear down to the point of losing effectiveness without warning, or be left without washer fluid without warning. *tr

Information display on instrument cluster is failing; pixels no longer operate rendering the display useless. Display is used to inform the driver of vital safety information but with failed display the important safety information cannot be read! *tr

1. Purchased a 2001 s4 2. The auto check system in the instrument cluster does not work especially when warm. Critical safety information is no longer displayed. 3. Was quoted obscene amounts by audi dealers to replace entire instrument cluster. *tr

I both own a 2001 audi a4 and 2001 audi s4.. On both the red lcd instrument cluster screen has failed to the point where nothing on that screen is legible. The screen is designed to show mileage, speed warning, run time and other functions. The pixels have ceased to function to the point beyond recognition. I share this problem with a very large group of audi owners of the same and/or similar model. This group of people expands internationally and audi clearly knows that this is a prone to failure part. *tr

The b5 (2000-2002) audi s4, lcds on gauge cluster which display valuable safety information, is faulty on every s4 i've ever seen. Everyone on every forum i frequent, they all have the same problem. This is a problem and needs to be recalled. *tr
