What 1991 Audi Quattro owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When brakes are applied they shimmy. Happens more when going down a hill. Dealer contacted.
When applying brakes, vehicle vibrates. *ak consumer states that new brake pads and rotors installed at audi dealer 5 times in the past 50000 miles, the new rotors continue to warp and thus provide very poor braking after only about 5000 miles.
Have replaced the ignition switch 3 times since january 1996. The switch has a position that controls the turn signals and windshield wipers. One of the failure modes I have experienced allows the car to start and run put disconnects the turn signals and wipers. I find this out in traffic when I need those elements. Audi will not acknowledge this problem, but I notice the latest switch seems to have been strengthened where it was breaking previously. I find it hard to believe that I'm the only audi owner who has experienced failures with this switch.
