I was driving my car in the freeway in sacrameto going to arden mall and as I was exiting going about 30 mph off the ramp I heard a very loud bang sound and as I looked up I noticed my sun roof (in the closed position) was cracked with the middle of the glass warping in and eventually shattered falling all over me and the interior as I kept driving. I've heard of the a8 and q5 models having similar issues (and actually being recalled one year) so this out a thought in my head. After doing research online there were many Audi vehicles with various models having the exact same issue as me. . I called the dealership to inform of this incident and they stated it was most likely a rock which I said can't be possible as there was nobody near the area I was in. All in all they said this would have to come out of my own pocket as it is not covered in my manufacturers warranty. I don't think I should be responsible for this as I did nothing wrong but drive the car. And seems as if many other Audi drivers had similar issues so it seems to be to be a defective glass.
The sun visor on my A5 has very little spring tension that allows it to freely move back and forth. I need to have it clipped when accelerating otherwise it will hit me in the face or hold it while making left turns (when positioned by the driver¿s window ¿ there is no clip there) to prevent it from striking me in the side of my head. This presents a distraction and possible safety issue. The sun visor clip's durability is also questionable since it has already been replaced at least 2 times. I have made repeated visits to the dealer about this issue and they have deemed it operating as intended. I have even written Audi about it and they have also refused to address the issue.
