You must surely be joking. I've had nothing but problems with mine. And the attitude of BMW dealers is much worse than that of Audi dealers (I've had several of both). They treat you as if they were doing you a favor by letting you drive their precious vehicles. dk |
Re: 2004 Audi A8 Reliability Problems
Intermittent behavior of wipers, suspension & MMI. The wipers sometimes
hesitate momentarily while operating, the suspension adjusts by itself in my garage long after it has been parked & I once opened the passanger door while car was parked unlocked with no key in my garage and the MMI system turned itself on. No big deal at first and dealer informed me that the car was behaving normally, computer diagnostics fine, etc at the 5K and 10K service. On December 11th the wipers failed completely while driving in the rain & I experienced a near miss head on with another car. The car has been at the dealer ever since with no end in sight (3+ weeks now). They have replaced the wiper motor and three different computer modules, but the wipers still do not operate properly. Also, the auto trunk closure does not work properly, the sunroof does not alway close in response to the controls, the recently installed satellite radio occasionally mutes itself and the MMI system sometimes reboots itself. |

Re: 2004 Audi A8 Reliability Problems
If the dealer would use a bit of common sense rather than relying on the
computer for ALL they knowledge they might begin to suspect corroded or intermittent grounds causing most of these problems. At least thats where I would be looking.
