2007 AUDI A4 Complaints

SO I OPENED UP THE SUNROOF, TOOK A LONG WIRE AND STARTED POKING. I ALSO REMOVED THE WHEEL ARCH AND CLEANED OUT THE OUTLET. I POURED A BUCKET OF WATER THRU AND IT CAME OUT OF THE BOTTOM NICELY. ALL WELL I THOUGHT. TODAY IT RAINED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THEN, AND I WAS VERY UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO FEEL WATERDROPS DRIPPING FROM THE HOOD OPENING GRIP NEXT TO MY FEET. SINCE MY CAR IS ALWAYS OUTSIDE AND NOT COVERED AGAINST THE RAIN, I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT RIGHT AWAY. I STRIPPED THE A PILLAR COVER AND SAW IT HAD SERIOUS WATER MARKS. OBVIOUSLY THE WATER HAD BEEN DRIPPING SLOWLY FOR MANY MONTHS ALREADY. IT JUST NEVER GOT WORSE ENOUGH AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE THE GREEN HOSE IS THE DRAIN, AND IT HAS A BROWN STRIPE DOWN THE BOTTOM FROM LONG TIME DRIPPING. THE LEAK SEEMED TO COME FROM ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE IT IS CONNECTED TO THE SUNROOF DRAIN PIPE. I PULLED IT LOOSE AND THE HOSE IS FITTED TO THE PIPE WITH SOFT PLASTIC CONNECTOR. THE CONNECTOR SLIDES OVER THE PIPE, BUT THE HOSE IS GLUED TO IT. NOW THE GLUE IS EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM! THE GLUE HAD GOTTEN BRITTLE AND HAD CRACKED, IT SEEMS LIKE AUDI USED THE WRONG GLUE FOR THIS HOSE. I CLEANED IT , GLUED IT BACK TOGETHER AND POURED ANOTHER BUCKET OF WATER THRU, BUT NOW WHILE THE LINING WAS STILL OPEN AND THE HOSE FULLY EXPOSED. NO DRIP AT ALL! I MUST SAY, THIS PROBLEM WAS A VERY NASTY ONE, IT REALLY BUGGED ME VERY MUCH TO GET WATER IN THE CAR, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT CAN DO SO MUCH DAMAGE. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE WHERE YOU SEE THE ROOF AIRBAG WHICH WAS TOTALLY WET ALSO. A PICTURE WHERE YOU SEE THE GREEN HOSE WITH THE DRIP MARKS, AND A PICTURE WHICH SHOWS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD WITH THE FUSE BOX EXPOSED, IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU SEE THE STEEL IS RUSTED, SINCE THE SUNROOF WATER DRAINING IS A VERY WIDE SPREAD Q7 PROBLEM I WOULD ADVISE ALL OWNERS TO CHECK THE FUSE BOX.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED EVERY AUDI DEALER IN THE DALLAS AREA AND THEY ALL WILL NOT GIVE ME A DATE FOR THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY KIND OF REMEDY OTHER THAN DON'S SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS MY TEENAGE SON'S CAR AND HE RUNS CAR POOL FOR HIS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM. HOW LONG AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT???? THIS CAR HAS A POTENTIAL LETHAL PROBLEM AND NO ONE WILL PROVIDE ANY HELP. WE ARE IN A HIGH RISK ZONE FOR FAILURE BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN TEXAS AND THE HIGH HUMIDITY IN OUR AREA. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW OR OFFER ME A SAFE LOANER CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT. WHERE IS MY CONSUMER PROTECTION???? WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT IT HAD A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED I BOUGHT IT AT HUBER CHEVROLET IN OMAHA, NE ON 11/14/2015. THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED SINCE 05/27/2016.

TAKATA RECALL I AM JUST CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. AUDI SHOULD OFFER A LOANER PROGRAM UNTIL THEY FIND A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. AS A CITY DRIVER, THE LIKELIHOOD OF A COLLISION IS FAR HIGHER.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 AUDI A4 CABRIOLET. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V382000 (AIR BAGS) IN MAY OF 2016 AND 16V079000 (AIR BAGS) IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED IN MAY, BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET AVAILABLE. IN FIVE MONTHS, I THINK IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO FIGURE OUT A REPLACEMENT INFLATOR AND OFFER IT AS A SERVICE, PARTICULARLY SINCE THE SYSTEM IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. EVEN A PARTIAL REMEDY OF DISABLING THE AIRBAG WOULD BE PREFERRABLE. AS OF 9/9/2016, THE FOLLOWING IS LISTED "REMEDY: REPAIR SOLUTION PENDING. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE"

TAKATA RECALL - AUDI HAS NOT YET MADE A FIX AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. FORTUNATELY, NO INCIDENT TO REPORT. I WAS INSTRUCTED AT VINRCL.SAFERCAR.GOV TO REPORT THE LACK OF A TIMELY REMEDY.
