2003 Audi A4

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. *TR

I OWN A 03 AUDIA4 1.8T CABRIOLET. FOR THE PASS TWO YEARS I HAVE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION TWICE- THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE, THE GEARS WEREN'T SWITCHING. AUDI USA ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND STILL THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THAT. SECOND AND BIGGER ISSUE IS THE REAR WINDOW WHICH IS SEPARATING FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. IT IS DANGEROUS AS THE WINDOW CAN FLY AWAY WHILE I DRIVE THE CAR WITH A HIGHER SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND HIT THE CARS BEHIND ME. ALSO VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL CARS. *TR

2003 AUDI A4 CABRIOLET HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES, FAILURE OF DOOR GASKET SEAL WHICH DESTROYED PLC, RESULTING IN HORRIBLE SOUND SAFETY ISSUE, COST OVER $2K TO FIX, FAILURE OF CV JOINT WHICH COULD CAUSE WHEEL TO FLY OFF, FAILURE OF REAR GLASS WINDOW THAT COULD COME LOOSE HURTING OTHER VEHICLES OR PASSENGERS OF CAR; CAR HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES, WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS GARAGED. AUDI AMERICA SHOULD REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THESE NUMEROUS, (AND APPARENTLY INEVITABLE, JUDGING BY WHAT I'VE READ AND HEARD FROM OTHER OWNERS) PROBLEMS. *TR

200 AUDI A4 CONVERTIBLE. REAR WINDOW HAS SEPARATED FROM ROOF APPEARS AS IF THE GLUE IS DRY ROTTED? MILES 49K GARAGE KEPT, HAND WASHED.... FOUND INFO ON-LINE REGARDING SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AUDI OF AMERICA REFUSES RESPONSIBILITY WHILE AUDI GERMANY ACCEPTS FULL RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M AFRAID THE WINDOW WILL FALL OUT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

BOUGHT A 2003 AUDI A4 CABRIOLET IN 2005. 6 MONTHS LATER, REAR WINDOW IN 2003 AUDI A4 DETACHED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP CAUSING REAR LEATHER SEAT TO ROT AND TEAR DUE TO RAIN WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE DETACHED WINDOW. TRIED TO HAVE THE WINDOW REATTACHED BY AN AUDI DEALERSHIP REFERRED DETAILING COMPANY, ADHESIVE DID NOT HOLD AND I WAS TOLD THE CAR WOULD NEED A NEW ROOF. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, DON ROSEN AUDI OF CONSHOHOKEN, PA NOR AUDI WILL TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DETACHED WINDOW OR PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR REPAIRS. *TR

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? *TR

I HAVE AUDI A4 QUATRO 2003 MODEL. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT PROBLEM AND SEE IF THIS IS COMMON WITH AUDI CARS. I HAVE TWO SEPARATE EPISODES OF ELECTRONIC CAR WINDOW NOT ROLLING UP. THE MOTOR THAT SUPPOSE TO HOLD WINDOW DID NOT HOLD THE WINDOW CLOSED AS WELL. EVERYTIME I DRIVE OVER BUMP ON THE ROAD THE WINDOW WILL COME DOWN. I HAD FIRST INCIDENCE ON PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW IN 2006 AND NOW I HAD ANOTHER INCIDENCE IN DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW IN 2008. I WONDER IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH AUDI. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS NORMALLY THE WHOLE ROTATOR MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. IT COSTS ABOUT $1,000 TO BE FIXED. *TR
