Driving down the road, my sunroof "exploded" today. Only damage was to the sunroof itself but very scary. Felt like an explosion, fortunately did no have any accident associated with this. Less likely anything dropped from above. Weather was good today.
Was leaving house, car started shaking violently so I drove back home, engine light turned on. Have been waiting long before this happened to hear back from Audi about oil consumption warranty recall, car was under 80k mi at the time I made report, had already paid for the required tests they needed, took them 4 months to finally get back to me. Received special case since it was a pre owned vehicle & could not provide them with the service maintenance records since I had just purchased vehicle, not the dealership nor Audi have been helpful with obtaining that information. Now they are saying they are not willing to fix it or buy back.
The soft tops for this vehicle are extremely defective. I aquired my vehicle at 65000 miles and the top would act funny every now and then but it would snap out of it and work fine. The back window completely detached from the top and has not operated since. Going back and forth with Audi I was told they cannot fix this but instead to get a new top. After I paid for them to look at it and the technician didnt have a clue. That window and top has been a common issue it seems like Audi doesnt want to own up to. I drive the freeway to and from work everyday. At high speeds I fear that thing will come out and hurt someone on the freeway one day soon. I have been dealing with this since last year and have not found a solution besides "get a new top".
