I HAD THE CAR JACKED UP USING THE AUDI SUPPLIED JACK ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. I HAD REMOVED THE TIRE AND WAS REPLACING FRONT BRAKE PADS. THE JACK SUDDENLY COLLAPSED. THE JACK HAD COME APART DUE TO THE FAILURE OF A PLASTIC PART THAT OPERATES AS A HINGE POINT. I FEEL THE JACK DESIGN IS VERY POOR AND COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.
