This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
2000 Audi A6 quattro. Passenger compartment has a persistant and odd odor constantly. It is not a moisture or mold smell nor an oil or gas smell. Almost as if from the upholstery. Anything to do with the disallowance of certain leathers put on the Audi cars in germany in 2000 and before and disallowed after that?
For an unknown reason, when the vehicle is shut down after driving, then it's re-started the engin idles rough. At that time the engine check light come on, and the engines power is reduced. It won't go faster than 15 mph.
My car was service for the trip from saratoga springs, NY to hilton head, SC. Two days after I had made this 1000 mile trip the incident occurred. My car was running fine and I stopped for gas. When I pulled out of the gas station onto very busy highway.
