Default Electrical problems with my 2008 A4??

I need your help audi owners. I recently purchased a used 2008 A4. I have only had the car for a week and it is awesome. However, last week I took it in to get my windows tinted. I drove it there and everything was working fine. 3 hours later I pick up my car and I have some major problems. When I started the car I was getting a warning that there was a defect with the adaptive light and tire pressure system. In addition, my signal lights were not working and the climate control would come on, then just shut off. I had an "out of province" inspection done on the car becasue I bought it in the US and they took the wheels off, so I can understand the TPMS error but not sure why everything else was happening. It was a very hot day that I got my windows tinted, I think low to mid 30s but the car wouldn't have been sitting outside for that long. The car then sat in my garage for 2 days and now everything is fine. Any suggestions? Should I be concerned and take the car to get looked at? Any help would be greatly apprecieated.

Cheers,

thanks Jazz.....I was hoping I wouldn't have to, considering all the horror stories of dealing with dealerships and US cars. I'll just cross my fingers it doesn't happen again. Cheers

GET IT CHECKED, warranty will not last forever and once its gone this problem may come up then. Then u have to pay to fix.
