During the winter, the 2009 Audi A4 windshield wipers freeze. Because the wiper recess beneath the hood, you cannot "deice" them or even get to them to clear them. This is a huge hazard!.

I have a 2002 Audi A4. Wiper stopped working. Checked forums and the other people had the same issues.
Audi A4 windshield washer pump suddenly does not work. I brought the vehicle to the dealership and I was told there is a known problem with the washer pump and it happens frequently. However, there isn't an official recall so they will not replace it. It will just keep ruining the fuses unless I buy another washer pump which will ultimately just break again. . . If this is a known problem and a frequent issue why isn't there a recall?.

The seat rail loosening has occurred on both driver and front passenger seats. The driver side seat rails were replaced at 42,759 miles. After less than 7,000 miles of additional driving, the driver side rails are beginning to loosen again. The passenger side rails are gradually loosening, but more slowly, as there isn't always a passenger in that seat. The windshield washer pump developed a crack immediately after the 40,000 mile service, which was at 42,759 miles.

Pumps are made of hard brittle plastic which fails in heat/cold engine bay. Cracks in the pump body allow the washer fluid to drain (suddenly) leaving no ability to clear the windshield of bugs/salt. Dealer reports that this is a very common problem and keeps a ready supply of replacements on hand. However cost ($60) of parts and difficulty of access (1hr disassembly/reassembly, $80+) makes this an expensive failure. I believe a price concession should be offered for out-of-warranty failures at less than reasonable life failures.
