| 26000 mi | The door handle on my keyless entry system will automatically unlock the door as soon as a hand is placed on the door handle so long as the key fob is on the user's person. The sensor on the door handle was working slowly/intermittantly. |
| 30000 mi | Flap motors located in vents will tick as they adjust the climate control system. Required removal of entire dashboard to access motors. In the end a total of seven motors were replaced, all with the same failure. There is a TSB for this. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light was always on. Dealer said tires were below pressure, aired up, and said problem was fixed after a test drive. Problem was not actually fixed. After first visit for TPMS failure, I received "TPMS system failure" message from the car. Dealer replaced several sensors related to the system and said, after a test drive, the TPMS was fixed. It was not fixed. |
| 30200 mi | Again, received "TPMS system failure" after driving ~20 miles from last shop trip. Dealer had to call Audi's dealer support for advice. In the end, the TPMS antenna was replaced, which has fixed the issue. |
| 31000 mi | Passenger's side outside mirror would not turn downward when the car was put into Reverse. Dealer replaced motor in the mirror; problem is gone. |

Diagnostics only. Two complaints, two separate charges of $195 diagnostics fee. The dealer is a hateful place to go, but the only ones who can diagnose and possibly fix the stereo/amplifier/optical loop, so therefore went to dealer for the first (and last) time. After a nearly $5000 estimate to replace rear brake pads, battery, fuel pump (intank), 2 hood struts and a vacuum line in the engine compartment, I decided to do the work myself. It cost me about $700 in parts, and 4 hours of my time. The dealer also estimated the stereo components replacement at $4009. I can live without sound from one channel at that price. |
