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.
In the short amount of time that this car has been cooperating, it has been a pleasure to drive.
Are you serious? It's a new Audi!
This is Audi quality???
Yikes! Even my Dodge hasn't been that bad! How about an update -- you only had 8,100 miles on it when you wrote this...
My car jerks too - it's a problem that is known to Audi techs -basically they told me that if it doesn't get any worse, then it won't get any worse (go figure!!) but IF it does get worse, then a complete part change is covered by your warranty - they just don't like to do it, but they will, because they know of and acknowledge the problem.
It seems that your problem is with the dealer. I had the same problem with my A4. With just 13500 miles they had to change the transmission. But the dealer was so diligent, that I will still buy another Audi.
2004 a4 quattro sedan. LEMON! 5000 miles and the transmission began clunking. three attempts to fix it (over a month off the road!)..finally they replaced the entire transmission.. not very comforting.. they also gave me a kia to drive instead of loaning me an audi.. did not feel taken care of...
European cars aren't as reliable as Japanese - it's just something you have to live with, and besides, Mercedes are considerably worse than your Audi!
This is nothing new with Audi. Even they 2008 A4 is having some really bad reviews from owners. There something bad with the BOSCH components. My father had a 1999 A4 and it was the worst car in History, but not technically a LEMON.
Incredible. And for this they charge such big amounts of money!
To the person that commented on 4th Feb 2008, 17:55, I disagree. I have a Mercedes from the year 2000. It has more than 202,000kms and I have never had a single problem. I haven't even changed the battery! Mercedes has a great quality.
I have a 2004 A4 Cabriolet. I have had 4 ignition coils go out. You get no warning - the car just dies. I seriously think this is a safety issue that Audi needs to address. If I had been driving through the mountains just last week, when the car failed, I would not be writing this. I have talked to Audi assoc., they give you the run around. I will NEVER own another Audi.
