“I have a 2004 Audi A6 2.7t s-line sedan with 56,000 miles on it. For the past several months it has had a severe shuddering in the steering column as I accelerate mid-throttle, as when I accelerate onto an on-ramp. I have tried to have my local Audi dealer address this (it is a certified vehicle) but they so far have not come across with resolution. I have also contacted the Audi of america customer support folks several times and they say that there is not a problem like this with this car, but they also say that if I use a specific make of michelin tire, it might alleviate the problem! …”
