Engine light on Dealership found a rodent nest in the engine space in the car. Dealership considers that fluids used to coat Audi engine wiring attract rodents. Dealership considers this to be a health and safety issue. Dealership considers it essential to replace the Audi air filter. Dealership is checking wires to assess any gnawed damage. I need the engine to be power-washed and the nest area treated w/bleaching agents. I do not have the total estimate on this but it will be greater than $1,000.

I went to Audi Fort Worth (116 University Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76107) to fix my PODS recall currently on my Audi A4. After a day of servicing my vehicle for the recall the dealership handed me back my vehicle in the condition attached in the photo. You can see the huge gap in the seat which is a safety hazard considering there is high voltage wires in the seat and they just left it exposed with a considerable gap. They refused to reassemble my seat so I am unsure if my airbag sensors even work now, it has been a week of waiting and my VIN still shows that it has a recall even though the service was completed a week ago. I asked for a service ticket of he work preformed but Audi Fort Worth refused to provide me one. I went in for the recall service on 1/24/2021. Is there any way we can remove my VIN from this recall list since the service was completed? I have messaged the Audi Service manager Veronica about this issue but still no response from her. Even left her an email and voice message. I just would like to file a complaint about this service center, and get my VIN removed from the recall list since the work was performed according to Audi.

I recently purchased my Audi A4 and immediately have had electrical issues. Just recently the back window will randomly roll down and last night when I started my car the safety system light and message came on. It stated see owners manual. I began to drive and the light turned off. As I drove it began to blink on and off then finally staying on and making it distracting to drive.

The contact owns a 2017 Audi A4. The contact stated that the ac began to blow hot air. The dashboard was removed to replace the sensor used for releasing cold air. Then while driving approximately 65 mph, the transmission warning system activated and informed the contact that they would have to use the paddles to steer the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (Audi fort lauderdale - sales department 1200 N federal hwy, fort lauderdale, fl 33304; (954) 545-4650) who removed the console to replace the transmission. The third issue was that the vehicle had failed to start. The certified mechanic towed the vehicle due to connector function to start the vehicle. The vehicle was returned the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the communication between key and starter had failed and the device that provided this function was replaced. The fourth issue was that while driving approximately 60 mph when the transmission suddenly failed. The contact restarted the vehicle and took the vehicle to the dealer by steering the vehicle using the paddles as suggested before. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case regarding the matter. The contact was then referred back to the dealer. The matter had not been resolved. The failures ad reoccurred. The contact stated that all failures had occurred in a total of a 1,100 miles time frame. The approximate failure mileage was 25, 700.

The horn will not activate when pressed in the location of about 3 - 6 O'clock (lower right quadrant). The dealership service manager stated that there is two sensors in this models unit, one at around 12 (top) and 7 (lower left), and that the horn can only easily activate if pressed in either those locations or if pressed in the center.

Rear window on driver's side of vehicle lowers itself 6-inches after vehicle has been parked and locked with fob remote. Has occurred at least once a month since ownership. No dealerships have been able to replicate the issue.

On two separate occasions the driver's side front window stopped functioning. It has always been in the down position when this happens. The other windows still function properly. Multiple vehicle power cycles did not correct the problem. After a few days it just started to work, the first time. It still does not work after the second occurrence, that began earlier today. Didn't matter if the vehicle was moving or not, had been running for a while but not moving. The first occurrence happened the day after the dealer delivered the vehicle, it currently has 15xx miles.

When I got the car in May. After a week, we went with friends out. When I braked the car began to move into the passenger front seat to the advance and inclines up to a maximum front of the dashboard. So in case of a car accident, he would have been dead. Audi dealer they did not believe me and thought I was misinformed. And it was not hard braking, but normal braking (slowing down). Because many times it happened to me out of the car started to brake without a reason to brake, when I tried to go around bikers at the safe distance, or when parking (until today). When I made the complaint in the Audi dealer, before, they told me that this is not possible, and laughed in June.

A few days ago I had an accident. I made a left turn onto the expressway ramp at 42 mph. The road was wet and Audi in the middle of the turn activated “precrash sensors” and began to brake hard and the system locked the steering wheel. The car was completely uncontrollable and crashed the front wheel into the high curb, which damaged the wheels, rim and axles. The Audi exchange dealership in il checked and the sensors are functioning properly. They claimed that I imagine things that do not exist as they said it was impossible for the car to take control and to brake the car. They also said I do not have theses feature on the car, but the car is so equipped with this technology. ( because many times it happened to me out of the car started to brake without a reason to brake, when I tried to go around bikers at the safe distance, or when parking. When I made the complaint in the Audi dealer they told me that this is not possible, and laughed in June). I am aware that I was moving fast but from my experience I know that I could do this turn without an accident. Previously I owned a 2013 BMW 528 xdrive and the car several times slip on the snow and I could control the car still. I believe the presense sensors activates the collision avoidance system resulting in a loss of control in the car and subsequent accident.
