general problems of the 2003 Audi A4

Radio intermediate goes out hitting bumps speedometer stopped working the number ninth digit is not pulling up when I search vehicle information replaced engine vehicle only had 20,000 miles.

I had a new transmission put in the Audi and after a year the transmission reverse mode failed. I took it to the shop which repaired the car and found that there had been a recall on the part which was needed for the car. When I took it to the Audi dealership they refused to honor the recall and I had to pay for the new part an additional $2700. I was told that I was not the owner of the car and they had no information on file about me however I had repeatedly been in personally to ask about the car and any recalls after replacing the transmission. Also they had my email address. I was then told I was six months too late and I had to pay for the repair. I tried to call Audi customer service and the headquarters and only got the run around. If there was a recall for this part the Audi dealership and Audi headquarters should have honored this and replaced the part.

My 2003 Audi A4 3. 0 v6 driver side automatic window began to fail for the first time about two years ago in 2008. One day it just stopped working completely: still could roll down, but once down, it couldn't roll up any more. I had to use my hands to hold it from both sides to pull it up. It caused so many problems, sometimes real dangers, during the operation, until I paid a few hundred dollars to fix it a few weeks later. Especially it's so difficult to go through toll booths or some narrow lanes when I can't open the door easily while not able to roll down the window, or in cases I had the windows down for whatever reason, it became dangerously difficult to get it back up when needed due to rain or snow conditions. I can hardly describe all the difficult situations that made me feel helpless. But two years later (2010), the same window failed again with exactly the same issue, not able to roll up. I delayed repair until now. What's worse now is at the same time, another window -- the rear passenger side window began to fail too! that's a window I barely use during the last several years of owing the car. One day while driving, there was this big loud sound like an explosion coming from that window, and I had to stop dangerously on the highway to inspect what happened until confirming it's the window failure. It's beyond any reason to explain why it would fail with no usage. This rear window presented more security issues to me too, because even if I push it all the way up with my hands, it always slowly slide down to leave a big opening about 5 to 10 inches wide. Since I park the car on the street almost daily, it's a real issue to worry about burglars or break-ins. For this serious concern, I had to send it to the dealer for repair, who quoted me $460 to fix it including parts and labor. Considering this has happened to me total three times, including one that's happened to a window I rarely use, this seems to me strongly an obvious manufacturer's defect.

When I purchased my pre-owned 03 Audi A4 cabrio in may 2010 failed to notice that the bottom left and right corners of the rear window was separating from the fabric at the top. Fast forward to may 2011 its now spread enough that you could reach a whole hand into the headliner. When it rains part of the back seat,rear deck and areas of the trunk get very wet was separating from the fabric at the bottom left and right corners of the rear window, enough that you could reach a whole hand into the headliner. When it rains the headliner around the rear glass, part of the back seat,rear deck and areas of the trunk get very wet. With the smell after it dries, im sure I have mold and mildew issues as well.
