2000 Audi S4 Brakes Problems

“Communication failure from the ABS module, it causes the ABS light to stay lit and the brake light flashes, when this happens the ABS does not work on the car, it's a very common problem with these units but Audi hasn't done a recall. This will be the second time I have to replace this unit out of pocket since I've owned my 2000 Audi S4.”

“After having my front brake pads and rotors replaced on my 2000 Audi S4 at 92,671 miles, my ABS and brake lights continued to come on intermittently, but each time I drove the vehicle. After having the diagnostic system scanned, it was determined that my ABS control module needed replaced with parts and labor costing $742.58. I've done research to find that this has been a common problem with Audi. I contacted Audi, but they declined responsibility.”

“The ABS and brake lights on my dashboard initially flashed and beeped intermittently, but now are on constantly. Upon researching the issue, I've discovered that this is a problem experienced my many other my2000 S4 owners. This is a significant safety issue, as there is the risk that brakes may lock up (even when releasing the pedal) under braking when experiencing these symptoms. Please take action on this issue. …”

“I was on highway 93 north going 60 miles an hour when I suddenly I had to brake hard and as soon I hit the brakes my rear brakes locked in and I almost hit the car in front of me I had to release the brakes and change the lane to avoid hitting the car in front of me I went home did some research on-line and I found out from on-line forums and other websites that everybody who owns Audi S4 2000 have same problem this is a very big safety issue and there should be not just a recall but Audi should bee sued for making a car that would and will kill people.”

“Purchased my 2000 Audi S4 from the original owner- the car had 10k miles on it and yes, it was out of warranty. At about 13.5k miles I noticed that I had trouble stopping one evening- almost rear ending someone in the process because my brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Parked the car that night-and then about 4 hours later, on my way home...same symptoms as mentioned before, except now my ABS light was on. Ext mourning...moved car out of driveway and noticed a oil puddle from the left front drivers side engine area. …”
