Default !!! ALL AUDI ENTHUSIASTS!!! CLUSTER DISPLAY!!!

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

CALL: 1-888-327-4236 AND SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER CARE REP.

**IF THEY GET ENOUGH PEOPLE TO CALL IN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT A RECALL

this has already been recalled in Europe and with enough complaints they will have to do the same in the US also...

call them and give them your VIN and they have to report it to the National Highway Traffic safety Administration

...and their website is nhtsa.gov

I personally sent a letter to AoA and to the NHTSA. I received a phone call from AoA and a response letter from NHTSA stating that there has not been enough failures reported for it to be recalled. I can copy the letter I sent as a response so that you can copy it and send it to them too if you would like.

In a nut shell... this display is needed for safe operation of the vehicle... we need to complain about it enough to get it replaced. The NHTSA needs to be the ones getting the complaints, then AoA will have no other choice.

Default Not sure the mfd displayings any crucial information related to safe operation of the vehicle

Most cars don't have brake pad sensors, freeze warnings, etc. If it was necessary all cars would have to have one.

Default I didn't see my gas tank was emtpy and ran out of gas on the interstate so I pulled over

and was hit by a bus full of nuns, who obviously don't have any peripheral vision (habit in the way and all).

Default True. But ALL cars have oil warnings, coolant warnings, etc.

And since Audi's display those warnings in the cluster, a damaged cluster can be a real problem.
