In Sep 2016 my 2013 Audi A5 started smoking and overheating while driving on the freeway. I drove my car home and searched for a reputable auto shop in my city that I drove my car to. My vehicle was analyzed and inspected to find out that the coolant/waterpump needed to be replaced, which my car was no longer under warranty. At this moment I just left my car at this auto repair shop as it was my only vehicle and needed repaired ASAP. Within the last year and very recently their have been many recalls relative to overheating coolant/water pump issues causing overheating and possibly set on fire. I had it repaired at the auto shop, which costed me nearly $1200! I found this absurd as my vehicle was only 3. 5 years old with an overheating problem. Is there any way I can get this researched and reimbursed by the manufacture as my issue happened prior to recalls were published? I have attached a repair invoice for your review. Thank you.
