VISIBILITY
WE HAVE A NEW A5 CONVERTIBLE AND USED IT IN SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. - WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF A LIGHT SNOWFALL THE WIPERS BEGAN TO ICE UP. THE DEFROSTER WAS ON HIGH WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT 80 WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. - WE HAD ZERO VISIBILITY - EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. - MY WIFE DROPPED ME OFF AT WORK AND CONTINUED ON A ROAD THAT YOU CANNOT STOP ON TO "CLEAN THE BLADES" AND COULD NOT SEE BUT THROUGH A NARROW 1/2" SLOT IN THE WINDSHIELD!! - I MADE IT TO WORK AND ASKED TWO OF MY EMPLOYEES, ONE WITH AN S5 AND ONE WITH A WAGON AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. - MY WIFE, WHO I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FOR IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WITH ANY SNOWFALL. - I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE SINCE THIS IS A VERY STORMY SEASON. *LN

SUSPENSION:FRONT
AUDI A5 - 2010 MODELS. THESE CARS COME WITH FAULTY LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BUSHINGS WHICH RESULTS IN SHAKING IN DRIVING FROM 60MPH TO 70MPH. I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR YESTERDAY TO BE EXACT, THE ENTIRE DRIVE HOME THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY, THIS TYPE OF SHAKING CAN AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS, A FULL FAILURE OF CONTROL ARMS WILL RESULT IN DEATH. AUDI HAS NOT CONDUCTED A MASS RECALL AS OF YET, I BELIEVE THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FEW DEATHS AND A MASS PROTESTS AND INTERVENTION FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BEFORE DOING SOMETHING.
