Dt: the consumer received nhtsa recall 96v017000 concerning the ignition switch. The manufacturer informed him that recall repair was done and they were no longer assisting in the recall although the problem recurred. The dealer had not been contacted yet. *ak (12/05/05) after starting the vehicle the lights, horn, climate control would not work unless the ignition key was manually/slowly turned back until the climate control lights would come on. *sc

The underside of the front bumper gets caught on curbs and wheel stops in parking lots. It makes little or no noise as i pull in, but when i go to pull out it gets caught and threatens to pull off the whole lower bumper cover. Ive heard of many other audi owners having this problem, and it can cause about $2000 in damage if the bumper cover is damaged. There is a recall for later model years for this exact problem, but my model year is not covered by any recall. I currently have my car in the shop, they are resecuring my bumper and related body parts.# of occurances listed below is approximate. *ak

The metal fuel lines under car corrode due to design of retaining clamps. This has caused leaks in the fuel line. The car has had a fuel line recall performed already but, it was at a different section. This rusted section is not covered.

On this date, 09-07-00, at approximately 0730 hours, temp in mid 40's, my wife started our vehicle and detected the odor of gasoline and shut off the motor. A check under the hood indicated a leaking metal braided fuel line located on the front passenger side of the engine compartment near the exhaust manifold/turbo-charger. We contacted audi of america at their 1-800 number and inquired as to what course of action we should take. The male representative we spoke to was not aware of any recall on this defective part, however, he did provide us with a reference # and advised us to contact a local audi dealer. We contacted star motor co., a volkswagen/audi dealership, located in clarksburg, wv. The service manager advised that plans were being made for recall but, owner notifications had not been sent. We scheduled an appointment for this same date and contacted a local towing service to tow our vehicle to star motor co., which is located approximately 65 miles from our residence. At this time, it is undetermined if audi is going to cover the cost of the repair & tow. Nhtsa campaign id # 00v068000 thank you.
