REPOST: Wet Braking War!! (Please Read-Long)
Previously Posted by mudd on 2001-03-22 09:16:37
I've decided to myself...as many as you probably have that I don't like wet braking. I've read throughout the months how many of you have complained about this problem to dealers, AoA, etc. But, there hasn't been a clear resolution of the problem by anyone representing Audi. Because this problem can be potentially life threatening its time to go to war.
So what I've decided to is a three step process:
1) Compile a list of peoples experience with wet braking via email. This would include when it's happened to you, if anyone has gotten into an accident becuase of it(please make a note of this in subject line because these are gold as far as our battle's concerened), failed dealer fixes, etc. The more detailed, the better. Please include year of car and sport or non-sport suspension. No cussing out though, this has to be a respectable attack.
2) The second step is to print all these out in one giant packet to snail mail to as many of the 'higher-ups' at Audi that we have addresses for. Also, let them know about step 3 and give them a time limit to reply to our needs.
3) Step three is where it gets serious. If we haven't gotten a good reply from Audi, we'll go ahead and mail copies of our packet to all the major news networks (i.e. ABC, NBC, Dateline, 60 Minutes) Cause they eat this kinda stuff up.
And hopefully, if everything works out we'll get our problem solved before it gets thrown under the rug forever...especially since the new 2002's are coming out soon.
So please send e-mails to: wet_braking@yahoo.com
and we'll get this war started.
If anyone has anything to add: suggestions or ideas as to what might make this work better, please post. thanks.

Please don't be to lazy to reply to this...lets take at least one good shot at AOA.
Besides, it'd look stupid if we sent AoA a packet with only 5 messages on it.
It'll only take you 5-10 minutes and it could do you a lot of good. We need as many replies as possible to make this work.
Over 200 people viewed the thread and I know a lot more than 10 people have problems with wet braking.
