07 A4 with 600 miles....stalled!!
it only has 600 miles and already a problem!! Heres the story. Took the car with me to work this morning. started up fine.(of course...its brand new!!) drove to work which is about 15 miles from home. Found a spot to park and shut her down. stayed in the car having my coffe and reading the paper(like i usually do). I noticed a car pulling away at a better spot, so i started the car andbegan to move it... and it stalled. Put it in park, started it again.(this time it took a few cranks to start).Then it died again. repeated this 6 times. never started. Called Roadside Assistance. while waiitng for the tow(about 15 minutes), i tried to start it again and this time she started right up. like normal. Cancelled the tow truck and drove home. I know i should have let the towtruck take it, but they were going to take it to an Audi dealership in Manhattan (Zumbach Audi), and i didntwant it taken there. So i'm dropping it offtonight,at the dealership i got it from. Any thoughts as to what may be the cause?? Like i said before.. the car has 600 miles on it. what could it be? Not a very good first impression.[:@][:@] What do u guys think?

I get many call outs on new cars simply because they are not run in and its normally the system settling down because its new ( I call it teething problems ) bit of a sod on a new car though

Dont know what to tell you other than thats extremely rare and thank god you have a warranty. Id be furious. Make sure you get an RS4 courtesy car while they are diagnosing your car ;)

LOL i tried, but my dealer says loaners are for serviceappoinments only. but if the problem requires a lengthy service, they MAY give me a loaner. Yeah I'm pissed!

wtf they should be kissing your feet. thats bs. people that make service appointments should be prepared to have supplemental transportation. people that have brand new cars that suddenly stall should be immediately provided with a courtesy car while they figure out what happend to your car. what a load of crap.

RE: 07 A4 with 600 miles....stalled!!
yup. i agree 100%. and i just called audi to check up on it, and the service rep said he found nothing wrong. just like i thought ! Boy my first Audi and already im getting turned off. I hope this really is just a fluke, becuase the short time ive had the little car, ive actually enjoyed it!. And it hasnt even snowed yet here in NYC. very Strange tho. for it to just shut down for a good 20 minutes like that. Well. if it happens again i'll be sure to post it for all the new 2007 A4 owners.
Thanks for the replys. |

And like dave said it could be just from it being so new. especially since its so cold in most of the country. |
RE: 07 A4 with 600 miles....stalled!!
You should take the 98 Ford Taurus loaner you got because they wouldn't give you the RS4 and drive it through glass into the show room and rev up till the engine explodes then ask one more time for the RS4.. Mabye they'll respond more nicely;)
