Defect is covered under campaign 00V317000; my vehicle fits manufacturer/make/model/year, however it doesn't fall within the VIN range the dealer is checking - I was charged for the recall item. This is a request for enforcement of recall, and subsequent reimbursment from the dealer on charges wrongfully incurred.

Absolutely the worst car I have ever bought I have spent over $6000 in repairs and gone just 40K miles! stay away from this car when I called the 1-800 line they were no help and customer service refused to let me speak with anybody in a higher postion. When I said can I write a letter they said sure but it comes to us and the decision is final about your warrantty defects. No safety defect listed.

Contacted local dealer and Audi usa about problem and informed them about the recall (NHTSA campaign id no. 00V317000). I was inform that my cars VIN was not on their list to be repair for this recall. I tried to explain to them my car was built in 5/1996 and was having the same problem.

Ignition switch did not return from starter engaged position, starter stayed engaged which lead to its failure after problem occured several times. Also, headlights, turn signals and A/C system did not work. Apparently other models of Audi were subject to a safety recall for the same problem. Why not the A4? repair cost: $800.
