| 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. | |||
