AUDI A5 Visibility

AUDI A5 2010 Visibility Report #10298512

AUDI A5 2010 car safety problem was reported on Jan 06, 2010.AUDI A5 2010, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VISIBILITY . THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2010 AUDI A5 AND AS A RESULT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE UNRELIABLE IN SNOW AND RAIN CAUSING SEVERE RESTRICTIONS ON VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES: 1.) THE AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSOR OVERRIDES DIRECT DRIVER INPUT SO THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THEM ON, THEY DO NOT STAY ON CAUSING IMPAIRED VISION. 2.) THE UNIQUE WIPER DESIGN OF THE B8 PLATFORM MEANS THAT THE WIPER BLADES THEMSELVES CONSISTENTLY TURN INTO BLOCKS OF ICE IN WINTER DRIVING. THEY ARE POSITIONED BELOW THE DEFROSTER AND, ONCE FROZEN, CAUSE SEVERELY IMPAIRED VISION IN ALREADY HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. I'VE CHECKED NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS CONDITION IS OCCURRING REGULARLY TO OWNERS OF AUDI VEHICLES BASED ON THE B8 PLATFOM (PREDOMINANTLY THE A4/S4 AND A5/S5.) THEY ALL SHARE THE SAME RAIN SENSOR/ WINDSHIELD WIPER DESIGN, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRACTION OF QUATTRO MEANS NOTHING IF YOU CAN'T SEE! *TR.Mileage was 2950 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WAURFAFR9AA. Audi A5 2010 problem was reported in DENVER, CO. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 15 mph.

AUDI A5 2010 Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Report #10378488

AUDI A5 2010 car safety problem was reported on Jan 12, 2011.AUDI A5 2010, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A COLD JANUARY MORNING HERE IN THE MID-ATLANTIC, THE WATER PUMP BROKE AGAIN AFTER AUDI REPLACED IT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE COOLANT LEAKED QUICKLY, AND THE "SHUT ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I WAITED FOR FOUR HOURS BEFORE A TOW TRUCK WAS AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER, AUDI IS AWARE THAT THESE PLASTIC WATER PUMPS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT DID NOT INFORM AUDI DRIVERS FOR TWO REASONS: 1) THEY DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT PARTS IN STOCK TO REPLACE ALL THE PROBABLE DEFECTIVE ONES AND ACCORDING TO REGULATIONS, THEY MUST HAVE AMPLE PARTS BEFORE THEY CAN ISSUE A VOLUNTARY RECALL; AND 2) IT HAS NOT BEEN REQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT COMPLAINTS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BROKEN PUMP WITH ONE THAT IS NOW SUPPOSEDLY MADE OF METAL INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. IT TOOK THEM ONLY A DAY TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART IN, AS OPPOSED TO A WEEK THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH 5-10 CASES OF BROKEN WATER PUMPS EACH WEEK SINCE THE COLD WEATHER STARTED - AUDI A5/Q5S. *TR.Mileage was 10500 miles. Audi A5 2010 problem was reported in VA, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 20 mph.
