Consumer Description

DURING A RECENT RAIN STORM I WENT TO START THE CAR TO DISCOVER 6 INCHES OF WATER IN THE BACK SEAT. REAR AIRBAG AND SOME ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD BEEN FRIED. WHEN I CONTACTED AUDI THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE THAT IT WAS MY FAULT. THAT A LINE UNDER THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT HAD BEEN CLOGGED BY PINE NEEDLES CAUSING THE WATER TO FLOW INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY AUDI. *TR
