| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I PURCHASED THIS 2005 AUDI A4 IN AUGUST OF 2007 AND WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE I WAS ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT HAVING TO TAKE IT IN AND GET REPAIRED/SERVICED. NOT ONLY WAS I DISSATISFIED THAT I BOUGHT A HORRIBLE CAR, BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING RECURRING PROBLEMS, BUT I FIND OUT AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A QUATTRO, BUT MY AUDI IS NOT A QUATTRO, SO I WAS MISLEAD INTO BUYING A FAULTY VEHICLE.. MY PAPERWORK DOCUMENTATION SAYS 2005 AUDI A4 QUATTRO 1.8T SO I HAD TO PAY TO GET TOWED OUT OF THE SNOW BECAUSE THE AUDI IS ONLY 2 WHEEL DRIVE.. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE A VW/AUDI VEHICLE AGAIN AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE DON'T GET A VW/AUDI BECAUSE THEY ARE HORRIBLE UNRELIABLE CARS. I HAVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS JUNK AUDI THAT JUST CONSTANTLY HAS PROBLEMS, I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A NEW CAR AGAIN BY NOW . I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH VW/AUDI. I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH MONEY ON DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR CHECKS, BECAUSE THE [XXX] CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REPEATEDLY KEEPS COMING ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T GET MY CAR SMOG APPROVED WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING OFF, SO I AM RELENTLESSLY DUMPING MONEY I SIMPLY DON'T HAVE INTO THIS POS AUDI.

| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 2005 AUDI A4 AVANT IS CURRENTLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE AUDI DEALERSHIP AND AUDI OF AMERICA WILL NOT REPLACE A CRACKED COOLANT RESERVOIR. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO LEAK. HOWEVER, THE CRACK WAS VERY VISIBLE AND WILL MOST LIKELY SPREAD FURTHER RESULTING IN A LEAK. THE CRACK WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED FROM THE EXCESSIVE HEAT UNDER THE ENGINE HOOD. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A SERIOUS FLAW IN MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE RESERVOIR. *AK |
