Consumer Description

IF YOU OPEN ANY WINDOW OR SUNROOF, A LOUD WIND TURBLANCE CREATS A BOOM AND DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL YOU CLOSE ALL WINDOWS/SUN. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY AUDI , BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX IT. THEY SAY THAT I CAN GO BUY A WIND DEFLECTOR. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED MAJOR HEADACES, AND HAS DISTRACTED ME FROM THE ROAD ON MANY OCCASSIONS, ALMOST LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS NOISE IS VERY LOUD, AND IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE WRITTEN TO AUDI THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS, BUT THEY DON'T CARE. I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED TO AUDI, AND THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NHTSA TO A RECALL TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED BEFORE ANYONE DIES.
