Default sucky dealer - sunroof problem

My sunroof opens and closes by itself while driving. And sometimes I can't close the roof on the first try. I took my car to the dealer and was told that they cannot replace the switch until they see the problem first hand. What a bunch of ?!?! What are my options? Contact Audi directly? Who do I call?

Default I think that is common with dealerships. I had to leave mine overnight to prove that it whined. . .

at cold start for the serp belt TSB.

Seems silly, but I am sure that they are just following 'process'.

Default Re: I think that is common with dealerships.

Yes, but the faulty sunroof switch is a well-known problem. Besides, it's intermittent, so there's only small chance that the problem will surface while the car is at the dealership. It's freaky - and annoying - when your sunroof opens by itself while you are driving 70 mph on the freeway.

Default I had that issue on my '99 A4. It opened while in a car wash......

I told the dealer that I wasn't going to wait until it opened during a rain or snow storm and they fixed it.

Default I agree man. . .I would be pissed too. Call AoA or submit an e-mail through the AudiUSA website. .

complaining. You will get a call within a day and they will sort it out for you.

My dealership would not replace the wipers, and within a day, AoA was contacting the dealership to resolve the situation.

Default Even my dealer did the sunroof switch w/ no hassle

And they're normally a huge hassle about seeing a problem in person (especially the alternator belt TSB).
