problem #1

A4 4WD

During wet weather braking, the front disc brakes seem to fail. The cars front end seems to slide to the left approximately 4 feet upon braking. This happens only in the rain, with no adverse effects during dry weather. I have contacted Audi, who then referred me to the dealership. The dealership has stated that Audi will not warranty the correction, since they do not know how widespread the problem is. However, I have noticed a large amount of complaints on your website, and on the audiworld website. I submit that there is a defect in the front braking system of the A4 during wet weather driving, and that this defect could and will cause an accident. Even thought the car did stop, it required steering correction to put it back into the lane. The manufacturer should acknowledge that there is a defect and it should be covered by the manufacturer. If there is an accident, Audi will be held responsible and can be sure the reputation of their cars will suffer again. Please investigate this problem as it is potentially dangerous.
