2005 Audi A4 review from North America
"The car likes the shop more than it like me!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The mice seem to like eating the electrical wiring in the car.
The gas door lock gets out of alignment easily.
The driver window stuck down in a rain storm.
The Ignition coils rusted.
The O2 sensor went out.
Oil pressure sensor went out.
The right headlight had a wiring short.
The trunk latch stopped working.
The window washer reservoir will not hold fluid.
General comments?
I love my car, but I HATE that it is in the shop so much.
I wish that there was a happy median that I can find with my car and the shop. It would not be so bad if the shop that I had to take it to did not take 4 days to do an oil change. They are very slow, even when you have a scheduled appointment.
I think that all the problems that I have with mine are unique to my car. I am thinking about selling it and getting a new one, a Q7. I hope that they are better.
