2001 Audi A4 review from North America
"I am disappointed ^ Audi needs to p/u some of the repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dazzle from passenger outside mirror for the smoked mirror quoted $80 when I brought car in it ended up costing $250 after complaining of original quote
Drivers heated seat lasted only 3 years
UV Joint & struts at 50,000 miles
Tie rod
Sensor cost about $380 some corrosion on a plastic part
new tires after only 24,000 miles
battery twice, turn signal, rear lock for trunk does not always work I think it needs replacement
Engine light now on a 2nd time... Obviously another sensor.
General comments?
I have a love hate relationship with this car
Bose stereo kicks... This car is for the wealthy & someone who enjoys going back & forth to whomever to fix problems.
Engine light now on a 2nd time... Obviously another sensor.
There was a recall on a sensor but ofcourse not on my first one.
A recall on the timing belt but not a real recall just a class action suit si not sure when I bring car in for engine light what we'll find?
The dealer did my flush & fill of coolant.
No more Audis for me. I want reliability. I am still paying for the struts & UV joint & 7 more car payments.
100 car payments for my mid-life crisis. Even woman have them.
I am waiting now to buy a new car...
