“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10243101, filed 2008-09, 109,000 miles“The cup holder in the dash board is very badly located, just on the top of the radio and other equipement. If any liquid spills from the cup holder, as it did on my car, the liquid would directly fall on the radio and the other equipement, and could cause a shortcircuit ( as I did). The radio blew up and the heat and A/C works when they wants to. So for me the cup holder has no use since the location is too dangerous. And I think vw has the same cup holder location problem. Dt”
