Everything has gone wrong with this car: the radiator at 99,000 ($1000), the motor Mounts at 99,000 ($800), the secondary Air Pump at 105,000 ($300), the Cruise Control Module at 107,000 ($700), the ABS Unit at 110,000 ($2,700), an Oil Sensor at 111,000 ($200), the Tie Rods in both rear suspension systems at 112,000 ($500) and the traction control unit at 114,000 miles ($2000).
The car is a colossal piece of crap mechanically. The sytling of the car is great, but not worth the pain and agony of the repair bills. I had a warranty and it didn't cover anything that went wrong with the car. Pretty useless. So if you can use a caclulator you can see the astronomical amount of money that I spent to fix this car. After the Traction control unit went, that's when I bought an asian car. Reliability is the way to go and they have it mastered.
How was the car acting when the traction control went out? My A4 quattro is cutting out really bad. Almost like it would if the traction control was engaged. But it also does it at idle.
