| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The control arms are part of the suspension. the front axle has 8 control arms in total. went to the dealer and they explained that 6 of the control arms will cost me $2000. they also explained that this is not covered under warranty and that the manufacturer is not responsible for its malfunction. apparently the part malfunctions is a myriad of cases with a4 and the part was never recalled. now i have to repair a part that costs 1/7 the cost of the car because audi is too cheap to stand by its product. i did nothing wrong--was not due to wear and tear or aggressive driving. simply put by the dealer, "it just happens." if you investigate this problem you will notice there is a trend with this constant problem. please help.*ak |
