Default 5 1/2 months in the shop. Still nothing.

I hate Audi. I wish i bought another Tacoma. 140k miles and it never gave me a single problem until i flipped it.. even started up and drove a couple miles home. I'll never buy another Audi again. If the dealership can't fix it VERY soon i'm pulling the motor and doing something extreme with the car. For the amount i've paid in labor/towing/parts that haven't worked i could have already bought a used LS2 motor. **** for a little more i could buy an entire vette chassis. Sorry, i just need to rant a little. ****in Audi...

Default I know you are frustrated, but sounds more like f-ing dealer to me...

but yes, sometimes it's an incredible pain in the *** to own these cars.

Default It's an Audi problem...

because 95% of their dealers are clueless. VWoA doesn't maintain/enforce reasonable service standards, and appears to be ineffective in providing back up support to their dealers.

Default Well, it's not just one vehicle company, I feel your pain, my last vehicle....

was a black fu$kin' Dodge truck, so goes the handle. Took them a year to get things finally right. Fortunately under warranty, but the unpredictability of it's operation was maddening. Sorry for your problems, I fully sympathize...good luck !

Default i worry i'm in the same boat

my 3.2 tt is at the dealership now for a week with a fuel injector failure, second time number 5 has gone but now they think it may be the wiring harness as its happened again. they don't seem to be in any hurry to fix it, though. at least it happened at 48k miles so the warranty is still in effect. this keeps happening though and it's hello bmw or porsche, or maybe god forbid, a lexus.

Default If your car is being worked on @ the dealer.... Thats just a bad idea.

Get that **** out of there ASAP. Please, sincerely, bring it to a good independent shop that understands these cars...
