JAMMING IGNITION SWITCH WAS CAUSE OF STARTER SOLENOID BURNOUT. BOTH IGNITION SWITCH AND STARTER SOLENOID WERE REPLACED. EQUIPMENT FAILURE CAUSED HEADLIGHTS TO SUDDENLY GO OUT DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROADWAY IN TIME TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT, BUT THEN THE CAR STALLED OUT AND HAD TO BE TOWED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS LIKE ADDRESSED IN RECALL 96V01700. UNAWARE OF THE RECALL, I PAID FOR THE FIRST REPLACEMENT $254.25 FOR MATERIAL AND LABOR. AFTER JUST 2 YEARS THE PROBLEM SHOWS UP AGAIN AND MY AUDI DEALER IS REFUSING TO FIX IT FOC. I'M NOT SURE IF THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THIS CAR, BUT IF SO THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD TIME THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILS.

MY PROBLEM IS SAME AS THE ONE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN #96 V017000. I CALLED MY DEALER AS WELL AS AUDI SERVICE AT 1-800-822-2834 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWS SAME PROBLEM & THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS SAME AS DESCRIBED IN THE CAMPAIGN #V96V017000. I FEEL THIS MALFUNCTION SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE BY AUDI. I CONTACTED NHTSA' HOTLINE AND THE GENTLEMEN SUGGESTED THAT I REQUESTED IN THIS QUESTIONNAIRE THE REOPENING OF THIS CAMPAIGN & AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU!
