Rear panel was making a rattling noise when playing certain songs. Certain rare drum beats would hit the resonant frequency and make the rear deck sound like a blown speaker. A4 has no speakers in rear deck. When they repaired the rattle, they broke a piece of plastic. They ordered the part and repaired it. They brought it to my attention as they didn't want to have any cracks. They were very particular. I was happy. Great dealer service.
