2005 A4 PROBLEMS!!
I have a 2005 A4 3.2..its been nothing but problems!!! I have replaced
the tires TWICE ( i drive 99% highway)!! About 3 mo. ago my cd player
froze and all my cds were stuck in it...that was also replaced. Then,
the plastic around my shifter cracked and broke...i couldnt even put
the car in park...that was replaced. Now, my tail lights stay on all
the time and pushing the alarm button DOESNT shut them off! i found the
only way to fix it is to turn the car on, put it in reverse, and then
back in park!!!! Thats not even it.....2 days ago when i was driving
(30 mph) the RPM's were at 4000! I found the only way to drive normally
was to switch into manual and drive in 5th gear!! The car is in the
shop now (has been since then) and they keep telling me they cant
diagnose the problem!!! The car is still under warranty but, when does
this nightmare end?? I happened to find a message from "Nedry" in June
on this site and he had the same exact issues with the lights and the
engine!!! What is going on?? I wish i never bought this car....it is
nothing but a headache.

Re: 2005 A4 PROBLEMS!!
where do you live? in many states, there are pretty strong lemon laws.
it seems as though you may have bought one.
i would suggest talking to the dealer about backing out of your
purchase or lease. they may not be able to do anything, but who knows.
it's worth a shot.
and if you were to get a lawyer involved, even if it were just to write
a letter on your behalf, it could go a long way.

I hardly think these problems make the car a "lemon"
What was the reason from front tyres needing replaced? How many miles
between replacements? Was the tracking checked? Maybe the OP is just hard on
tyres.
CD changers jam from time to time. Audi don't make them and plenty of other
manufacturers systems have the same problem.
Plastic surround on the shifter broke? How?
Tail lights on all the time. Sounds like a software problem. If you've read
about another person with the same problem. Ask them or Audi how it was
resolved?
The OP doesn't mention that whether or not the car is a Quattro. I'm
assuming not so it's a multitronic auto. These have been known to go wrong.
If the OPs dealer can't diagnose the fault then get another dealer or Audi
USA involved.
