2000 Audi A4 review from North America
"I hear most people feel there are lots of little problems with the Audi A4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No fuse for the foglights.
No caps on the tires air nozzle.
Both headlights have gone out within 11,000 miles.
Crack in the washer fluid tank.
Rattle inside the A/C.
Clutch went at 10,000 miles.
Passenger side speaker has blown 3 times.
Rattle in the right front side of the car.
Check engine light went on.
Coolant gauge broke.
Fuel pump needed to be replaced.
General comments?
The dealer (KEYES AUDI in Van Nuys) and AUDI USA have been horrible to deal with on this. I opened a complaint over 2 months ago and nothing has been done to correct my issues.
The car has repeatedly been in the shop as several of the problems listed above have been in for repair 3-4 times.
The rattle in the A/C drives me crazy and I have had to shut the bass completely off because it causes a rattle in right side of the car - (this has been in the shop 4 times!)
