Lemon Law?

Okay, so my 6 is in at the dealership once again for something that has gone wrong. The car started to shutter, and would barely idle. I thought that I was going to have to get out and push the car out of the intersection in my suit no less. Then the CEL starts blinking. Not good. I park the car at a bank, turn it off, then on again, and the motor is shakeing the entire car pretty badly. Then I call Roadside Assistance.

I haven't even owned the car for a year yet, and its already been in the shop 5 times for warranty of some kind. WTF?! I am seriously thinking of getting rid of it because I'm tired of the f'ing hassle.

I won't know what THIS problem is until later today.

What should I do? I have thought of calling the dealer where I bought it, as well as Audi of North America to see what can be done, if anything.

Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

can be as easy as Coil Ignition Amplifier gone bad, those 2 chip looking things on top of the air box.....gotta check the codes first, you need to get the code reader from ebay or w/e so you will know exactly what is going on.

exactly same thing happened to my a4... it was the thingy on top of the air box, easy fix.

Luckily the car is a CPO so I'm hoping that its covered however, its still a pain in the ass.

I'm going to have to get a code reader it sounds like.

I'm still thinking of trading it in on a new one.

Same here, got it from stealership for 150 new and installed right in front of the mechanic, you should've seen the look on his face, lol, priceless, then later got one for 60 from Ebay :)

Definitely a coil pack. They are cheap as hell too. $30 each for a 2003+ car.

Turns out it was the #2 cylinder coil. So they ended up replacing all of them. At the current rate, my ride will be back in the shop again in a few months for something else.

I love my car, but this is starting to get old.
