This Problem Across All Years
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 AUDI QUATTRO. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 12/2006 AND ON 02/2007 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER DUE TO ALL OF THE TIRES BEING WORN AND THE WIRES WERE ALSO VISIBLE. THE DEALER PERFORMED REPAIRS FOR A TOTAL OF $500.00 AND IS NOW UNABLE TO PROVIDE HER WITH RECEIPTS FOR THE WORK PERFORMED. THE REPAIRS INCLUDED 2 NEW TIRES AND A NEW TAIL PIPE EXTENDER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TAIL PIPE WAS WELDED ON TOP OF RUST AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE CONTACT IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISKS INVOLVED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 69,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2001 AUDI ALLROAD WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER F1 RADIAL TIRES MARKED ALLROAD SIZE 225 R17 M+S RATED. THESE ARE THE ONLY MANUFACTURER APPROVED TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE AND THE SIDEWALL WAS DAMAGED REQUIRING A NEW TIRE. IT TOOK SEVERAL DAYS TO OBTAIN A TIRE AND I WAS LIMITED TO DRIVING ON STREETS AS THE SPARE IS NOT A FULL SIZE TIRE AND CANNOT BE USED OVER 50MPH. ON JULY 2, WE EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE CAUSED BY A NAIL AND THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT. WE TRIED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT. THE 3 AUDI DEALERS IN OUR AREA DID NOT CARRY THE TIRE, AND AFTER SEVERAL REFERRALS WE FOUND A TIRE AT GRAND PRIX TIRES IN COSTA MESA CA WHICH HAD BEEN ORDERED BY A CUSTOMER BUT NOT PICKED UP. AT THE SAME TIME WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS ABNORMAL WEAR ON ANOTHER TIRE WHICH NEEDED REPLACEMENT SO WE IMMEDIATELY ORDERED AN ADDITIONAL TIRE. WHEN I CHECKED ON THE STATUS OF THE ORDER ON JULY 30, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES ARE ON BACK ORDER AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A MONTH---WHICH MEANS THAT I AM FORCED TO DRIVE ON A WORN TIRE. I CONTACTED AUDI'S CUSTOMER ADVOCATES WHO CLAIM THAT IT IS A NON-AUDI PART AND THAT THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMIT THAT IT IS THE ONLY TIRE WHICH CAN BE USED ON THE VEHICLE. THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR SUPPLIER---THE TIRE RACK WHO LOOKED INTO IT AND AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THE TIRES ARE ON BACK ORDER FROM GOODYEAR AND THAT IT WILL BE A MONTH OR MORE TO GET ONE (A TOTAL OF 7 WEEKS PLUS). AUDI REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SO I AM REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING IT AS IT HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE WEAR ON THE TIRE AND THE LACK OF ANY OTHER TIRE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE.*AK

TIRE CRACKING, SEPARATING AT SEAMS AND LOOSING AIR. REPORTED PROBLEM TO PERILLI AND THEY WERE UNINTERESTED. AT THIS TIME ONLY ONE TIRE IS FLAT. I FEAR THE OTHER THREE WILL ALSO CRACK AND SEPARATE . ALL THE TIRES ARE FROM THE SAME SERIES. AFTER I FINALLY GOT PERELLI TO REPLACE 1 TIRE IT IS NOW TWO WEEKS AND THE TIRE IS STILL NOT ARRIVED AT CRAVEN TIRES. ( THIS IS WHERE PERELLI INSTRUCTED ME TO GO) I HAVE HAD TO RENT A CAR WHILE MY CAR SITS WITH A FLAT. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY DEFECTIVE TIRES ARE AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I TOLD PERILLI ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE TIRE WENT FLAT AND TOLD THEM OF MY CONCERN IN DRIVING MY CAR WITH CRACKED TIRES PEELING AND LEAKING AIR. DT

WITH ONLY 800 MILES ON MY NEW CAR, MY LEFT REAR TIRE (ADVERTISED WITH OFF-ROAD CAPABILITY) BLEW OUT ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT. THE INNER WALL WAS CRACKED LIKE AN EGGSHELL. I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT FROM MY DEALER AND HAD IT MOUNTED. ONE WEEK LATER, MY WIFE W. *AK (TIRESIZE: 225/55R17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/55R17 )
