| The car jack broke down while replacing a flat tire, and the car fell on the ground after being suspended in air. fortunately while all the bolts have been removed, the wheel was stuck to the hub or otherwise i would have been seriously injured. i think the jack has a very flawed design. where the two parallel frames can be easily bent outward because they don't have enough support and then the support can slide out of its designated channel i have pictures of the failed jack. i am really concerned of what would have happened to my hands if not the miracle of the stuck wheel was there to prevent injury of my hands.. i have contacted the manufacturer to investigate this faulty design but they responded that they recorded the information for the future and there haven't been enough incidents yet to justify design review. | |||

| 1. exterior lights and turn signal lights burning out at a rate of every 500 miles. audi will not replace. 2. wiper transmission has corroded, seized, failed, and consequently burned out the wiper motor 2x now - once at 40,000 miles and again at 80,000. audi would not cover this under the initial new car warranty, and they demand $750+ to fix this faulty assembly. 3. coolant and wiper fluid tanks are made out of cheap plastic. i've had 2-3 leaks in each tank due to holes in these tanks across the life of the car. the most recent coolant tank leak was pushing coolant through so fast that it burned up my engine and my timing belt snapped. i had to pay for this repair - $2,000+. these are just 3 problems among countless costly problems i've incurred since the 3-year warranty ran out on my audi. i've easily matched the $35k+ cost of the car with parts and repairs, and the car only has 88,000 miles on it. the coil pack recall has been an issue at least every 2,000 miles. i cannot make a trip of more than 100 miles without a coil snapping, a trip to the dealership, and an argument with service reps about whether or not i have to pay for these coil repairs. 88,000 miles later, the a4 i purchased brand new is basically not safely drivable except to run short errands around the city. all of this is not even to mention the cheap materials that went into the car interior. leather is wearing in places no one even sits, and all the rubberized buttons have peeled away. please help. audi will do nothing. i've spoken to others who have this same make and model sitting in a garage because it is no longer drivable. there are 2 known recalls on this car, but there is something more serious going on with the build than just the coil pack and fuel injector. my car has stalled and seized on relatively short highway trips despite routine maintenance and attention to recalled parts. | |||
