1999 Audi A6 Powertrain (other) Problems

AUDI CLAIMS THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER NEVER NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, THIS IS NOT ONLY INCORRECT, BUT THIS ALSO CAUSES TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOLD TO THE CUSTOMER FOR IT IS A LIE JUST SO THE CUSTOMER HAS CONSTANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHILE AUDI RACKS IN THE MONEY. IT IS A SCAM AND IT SHOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM POTENTIAL AND EXISTING AUDI CUSTOMERS. NO OIL WAS EVER MADE NOT TO BREAK DOWN AND NOT EVER BE CHANGED. A NEW AUDI OWNER USUALLY LISTENS TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THEIR CARS, AND USUALLY DON'T CHANGE THE FLUIDS OR FILTERS, HENCE TRANSMISSION BREAK DOWNS AND EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. SCAM *TR

AUDI A6 (2.8L) THROTTLE WAS FROZEN OPEN AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, ONLY WAY TO STOP WAS TO "STAND ON" THE BRAKES. SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS OK. CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE STICKING AT COLD TEMP (TEMP THIS DAY WAS 3F). TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT RIGHT AWAY, BUT TO BRING IT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. I HAVE NO RECORD OF RECEIVING THIS RECALL. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND DID FIND IT. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECORD THIS OCCURRENCE FOR YOUR RECORDS. *NM
