Am curious to know more about the Audi buy-back mentioned here. How many attempted fixes, amount
of time in repair, etc., has to occur before this becomes a real option? Is this the same or different then lemon law scenario? It seems that even though Audi says there is a fix down the road when supply of new coil meets demands, after a certain number of failed attempts some kind of buy-back should come into effect.

audi would probably go broke if they started a massive buy back.
they better do a recall or they are going to lose a lot of repeat buyers, i like the car but paid too much to get stranded. too many good alternatives out there. audi had to get past the unintended acceleration BS years ago. it doesn't need this kind of PR problem. thats just reality.

I talked to AoA today about coil pack problem. Spoke with a "consumer advocate" who was well versed
(rehearsed?) on the problem. She was going to call the dealer who worked on my car (twice) to get specific information and call me back tomorrow (Thurs) for further discussion.I will bring up buy-back and lemon law scenario to get a feel for AoA response to this.

Yes, but laws are very specific as to number of attempted fixes for a problem and for time spent
in repair. I am not well versed on those specifics, but surely there will be some people who meet the criteria for lemon law or other buy-back before any recall occurs. Especially if they keep replacing coil packs with the same potentially defective version.
