Consumer Description

WE DO NOT HAVE A GARAGE SO OUR AUDI IS PARKED OUTSIDE. IT WASN'T STARTING RANDOMLY SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE BATTERY WAS SITTING IN A POOL OF WATER BECAUSE THE METAL BOX THE BATTERY IS IN COULDN'T DRAIN. THAT CAUSED A CIRCUIT BOARD TO SHORT CIRCUIT. THEY CLAIM THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE SUNROOF HAVING DEBRIS LIKE LEAVES CLOGGING THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
