Wiper Problems of Audi A3

The rear wiper hose is consistently getting completely clogged so that no fluid comes out when the spray mechanism is engaged. The dealership has replaced it for a fee two or three times. At the last service they told us they cleaned it and did not charge a fee. However, within two months it was clogged again. I have noticed that the issue is more likely to occur after (intentionally or accidentally) using the rear window defroster. I am therefore wondering whether the hose is made of a plastic that is too soft, causing it to change shape as a response to the defroster heat.

I purchased a 2019 Audi A3 on January 18, 2021 (VIN waujegff3ka097702) from Audi denver. I replaced the windshield 2/19/2021, was told the windshield had been replaced at least once before (2/2020 at the dealership) and 2 weeks after replacing the windshield, have a new crack that is quickly spreading. 4 unrepairable windshields with only 11k miles on the vehicle?.

The car purchased in Dec 2016. When driving the vehicle when it was raining outside; drivers visibity reduced greatly, making the car unsafe to drive. Audi replaced the wipers but denied there was any problem! though, avoiding driving in the rain, I complianed to Audi several times. It was in August of 2017, when Audi finally admitted to me, they have a problem with the windshield. Their solution was to put some "film" on the windsheild" in my view, there should be a major recall on all 2017 Audi A3 for windsheild replacement. Does anyone know, how many accidents were caused in this vehicle due to poor visibilty? please investigate this matter. I truly beleive this is a serious problem. Also, if a "film" is applied will that compromise the integrity of the windsheild in the future? whta if the film wears off, etc. My windshield cracked, the dealer says road debris caused it.

I was driving and suddenly heard a loud explosion on the top of me, then I saw a my sunroof cracked. I stopped to check on it and I continued driving for about a mile until part of the sunroof blew off and hit other cars. Nothing hit the glass for it to brake, it simply exploded from the inside out (pressure-like explosion). Dealer says it has no recall at the moment for my vehicle but while doing my research, I found out that Audi car owners have had the exact same problem in the past with no resolution yet. Chassis might cause extra tension on sunroof creating it to explode, or inside pressure is too strong for the glass to resist. Sunroof and windows were up (closed) at the time of the incident.
