After almost 4 years of constant problems, 46k and multiple failures of about everything on this car, I give up. Its a lemon and thats all there is to it!!. I have not been able to get thru one service interval without having some failure of breakage of something(s). I really thought I could fix her and get her reliable.. but its not going to happen..Just a bad seed right outta the box. So, I am giving her back to Audi and it looks like I'll be getting a new RS4 as a replacement.
Its sad, cuz I really loved this machine.. when it worked,, which wasnt too often.. I cant really believe I have to give it back, but I will not be stuck with the humongous repair costs this thing would demand if I do keep it. You really wouldnt believe the loooonnnngg list of repairs its had in 46k miles. Tens of thousands of dollars in warranty work and months or loaners and rentals while in the shop. I have just run out of patience and am tired of having to cancel every trip I planned for my family because I didnt want to get stranded somewhere. After all, one is supposed to be able to enjoy this car on trips and such, but I have never gone past 300 miles from home. Enuff is enuff..
