2004 Audi A4 Cabriolet review from North America
"This car is a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 1 month, the transmission control module failed. I was then without the car for 1 month.
More transmission problems now continue. Told I will be without the car for at least 3 weeks while they dismantle the transmission piece by piece.
Car jerks when coming to a complete stop.
Car jerks when shifting from reverse to drive.
Passenger seat button broken.
Main cup holder faceplate fell off.
Battery cover broken off.
General comments?
In the short amount of time that this car has been cooperating, it has been a pleasure to drive.
