What 2000 Audi A6 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Abs module failure. Blinking ABS light and flashing dash brake light indicating failure. It apparently is not uncommon on 1998-2002 audi vehicles, a4 & a6 models alike.
2000 audi a6 ABS failure. With an car accident car was totaled. Fall of 2010. Daughter sustained head trama.
The ABS light comes on steady, the hand brake light flashed constantly, and three warning beeps are heard. A computer reading says there is no connection with the ABS unit. The ABS doesn't work at all. It sometimes occurs when I first start the car, and sometimes after driving for a while. The consumer stated someone else was driving her vehicle and he/she rear ended another person. The consumer stated the ABS did not function as designed. Updated 12/16/10
The ABS light comes on steady, the hand brake light flashed constantly, and three warning beeps are heard. A computer reading says there is no connection with the ABS unit. The ABS doesn't work at all. It sometimes occurs when I first start the car, and sometimes after driving for a while. Audi says my car is too far out of warranty (2000 w/ 77,000 mi). They won't cover any costs.
The ABS control module fails intermittently causing the ABS brakes to only work when the ABS/brake warning indicator light is off. I have done quite a bit of research online regarding this and have found that this is a common problem with audi's manufactured between 1996 and 2001.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 audit a6. The contact stated the ABS module malfunctioned. He didn't want to give specific failures related to his vehicle. Contact has not taken his vehicle to the dealer to diagnose the failure. The contact has identified several failures he viewed on the internet. The failure mileage was 126,000.
2000 audi a-6 quattro 2.8 l; ABS module has malfunctioned. This seems to be a common occurrennce on these vehicles as I've seen numerous people complaining about it on the audi forum.
Abs control module has failed on my 2000 audi a6. From an internet search this appears to be an almost taken for granted repair/replacement item, I.e.; it happens to almost every vehicle. This is not an inexpensive item to replace (500-1300 dollars including labor). There are thousands of complaints, forums, blogs dedicated to this particular issue. I believe a recall is warranted. Please investigate this issue. Thank you.
