allroad 6-cyl

  • 60,000 miles
The contact owns a 2003 Audi Allroad. The contact stated that his vehicle has a design flaw. When it rains, water enters the passenger compartment from the passenger side. There is a small drainage hole in the bottom of the vehicle where the battery is located. Debris and water enter this hole and drains the battery. The dealer stated that nothing could be done because the vehicle was too old and had excessive mileage. The Audi manufacturer had the same response. The failure mileage was 60,000. Updated 07/28/09. The consumer stated the drain holes in the battery compartment were blocked. Water flooded the battery compartment then the passenger compartment and shorted out the electrical system causing over $3000 in damage. Updated 07/30/09.
