1994 AUDI 100 Electrical System Problems

I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN, 87 YEARS YOUNG, WHO OWNS A 1994 AUDI 100. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. ACCORDING TO AUDI OF AMERICA, MY VEHICLE WAS ELIGIBLE FOR AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND A NEW SWITCH WAS INSTALLED IN 1996 AT TYSON'S AUDI IN TYSONS CORNER, VA. MY CONCERN IS THIS. I AM EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. THE DEALER TELLS ME MY PROBLEM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ISN'T THAT A BIT ODD? ARE IGNITION SWITCHES PARTS THAT USUALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED? HAVE OTHER OWNERS OF THE RECALL EXPERIENCED THAT SAME PROBLEM? WAS THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT A NEW TYPE/MODEL SWITCH? I CALLED AUDI OF AMERICA AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT MY CONCERN. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS. I THOUGHT IT BEST TO AT LEAST REGISTER A COMPLAINT. THANKS FOR YOU TIME! *TR

IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 96V017000. EXACT SAME DEFECT. SEEMS LIKE TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE THAT MY CAR, BUILT 9/93 WOULDN'T HAVE SAME SWITCH COMPONENT W/ SAME PROBLEM. BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED?? AUDI IGNORES ME. *AK

AUDI ISSUED RECALL FOR SOME A6 MODELS ON FAILED IGNITION SWITCH. THE 1994 100S IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR WITH PROBABLY SAME SWITCH. ACCORDING TO MY SHOP THEY HAVE SEEN TONS OF THESE. YET I HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE MY CAR IS A '94, INSTEAD OF 1995 AND 1996 MAKES NO SENSE.*AK

IGNITION SWITCH FAILED, RECALL COMPONENT HOWEVER VEHICLE DENIED DUE TO VIN #.
