Description of the problem | I have an audi a4 2007. Friday, march 5 i was driving to work and the car starting revving by itself, but slowing down at the same time. I was forced to put it in neutral and coast to the side of the road. Took it to the dealer, they said it was the fuel pump, replaced it. Saturday, i was the last car on an exit ramp preparing for light to change, but when i pushed the gas, the engine revved to 5, but would not move. Car was in drive position. While this was happening, a ford f-150 was heading towards the rear of my car, but swerved in time i assume after seeing my hazards on, which i did immediately. The truck barely missed clipping me. Finally, i turned the car off and back on, and it got up to about 20 miles per hour, enough for me to get off the exit ramp. This car burns oil through every 1200-1500 miles. Audi is aware of this problem, in addition to the ignition coil problems with this vehicle. I had 4 coils replaced, but only after i got the letter of the recall from audi. I was told the whole time the jerking of the misfired coils was 'normal'. I am not the only one who has had the same issues. This year of car is unsafe, and should be recalled to fix the oil consumption issues before the damage occurs to the engines. |
