November 2022, 2005 audi allroad 2.7T diagnosed fire/melting of lightbulb of the passenger side headlight due to electrical issues. Was unable to repair the headlight at that time. November 2023, owner of vehicle finds open recalls associated with this make/model. Since the recalls were dated back to 2006 or 08, so the VIN tools only show up to 15 years. I made an recall repair appointment with my local Audi. When I called to make sure they had the parts for the repair they said there are no open recalls & suggest I get a diagnosis. My vehicle has already been diagnosed with said recall consequences listed below: my headlight was on fire and burning multiple times due to this failure I referenced the nation highway campaign number in which the audi dealership employee refused to utilize.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 AUDI ALLROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN MADE AN ABNORMAL SOUND WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE TIMING CHAIN TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 185,000.

OUR AUDI WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AS IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. OVERNIGHT THERE WAS A MODERATELY HEAVY RAIN. THE FOLLOWING MORNING AFTER STARTING THE CAR WE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE BUT COULD NOT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPORTED THAT WATER ENTERED THE COMPUTER WHICH CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION AND SHORTED IT OUT. RAINWATER ALSO ENTERED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER THOUGH A VENT HOLE. PARTS COST WILL BE IN THE $4400 RANGE AND LABOR $3-4000. WHILE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US DISCUSSIONS WITH THE TOW-TRUCK OPERATOR, THE CAR RENTAL AGENCY NEXT TO AUDI, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER AS WELL AS CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS INDICATE THIS ?FLOODING? PROBLEM IS COMMON TO AUDI A4/A6 VEHICLES. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE FRIGHTENING! WE IMAGINE THE TRANSMISSION CEASING TO OPERATE AND /OR THE BRAKES FAILING WHILE DRIVING ON CROWDED I-95 BECAUSE OF RAINWATER CASCADING OFF THE COWLING?. CARS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE RAIN WATER WHILE STANDING IN A DRIVEWAY .. OR ANY TYPE OF MOVING CONDITION. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS AUDI HEADQUARTERS. AUDI MAINTAINS THERE IS NO PROBLEM; IN FACT THEY ASSERT THAT WE FAILED TO MAINTAIN THE COWLING AREA FREE FROM LEAVES, DEBRIS, ETC. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEIR SKILLED MECHANIC IS ALLOTTED TWO HOURS TO CLEAR THE COWLING DRAINS; THAT IS NOT REASONABLE TO EXPECT OF THE ORDINARY MOTORIST. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THERE IS NO SECONDARY COWLING DRAINAGE MECHANISM TO PROVIDE FOR OVERFLOWING WATER. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT
