1999 Audi A6 steering complaints

Consumer's vehicle was having the same problems as mentioned in recall 99v248000 concerning tie rod assembly. Dealership would not repair free of charge because the VIN was not included.
I went to the dealer for a service bulletin I received and they told me my tie rods were worn out. There is a recal the federal safety agency recall campaign number: 00v414000 andl(99v248000) for 99 a6 that says the tie rods wear out due to the seal failing. What do I need to do for audi to address this.
Consumer stated tie rods ends grease boot tore causing tie rod ends to wear out and make clunking noise. Dealership refused to repair them under extended warranty policy so the tie rod ends were replaced at consumer's expense by independent mechanic.
The heated steering wheel became too hot while being used and began to smoke. When the consumer turned the system off the heat subsided. The dealer wanted to replace the entire steering column instead of disconnecting the heating device.
Front suspension failures. Audi a6 front control arms and tie rod ends seem to fail prematurely. I have had to replace first 3 of the left control arms and tie rod end, and then 2 months later 3 of the right control arms and tie rod end on my 1999 audi a6 with 53,000 miles.
Consumer states in inclimate weather,while driving vehicle's throttle gets stuck open causing vehicle to have a hard shift. Please provide additional information. Ts
My 1999 audi a6 avant is equipped with the cold weather package. This package includes heated seats and steering wheel. When the driver's seat heater is turned on it activates the steering wheel heater. On 12/13/02 in using this heater the steering wheel became hot enough to burn my hand and began to fill the car with smoke. It melted the foam under the leather cover. If I had not turned off the seat/steering wheel heater I believe the steering wheel would have caught fire. My independent repair shop indicates there is a short in the wheel that will require replacement. I checked an enthusiast internet site (audiworld.com) and did a search of similar problems. I found several other audi models had similar problems. Ts
