2002 Audi A4 Visibility

WIPERS FAILED AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM. THE PROBLEM WAS A SEIZED WIPER PIVOT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WHICH WAS CLEANED AND LUBRICATED, AND IS NOW IN WORKING CONDITION. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS SLOWED CONSIDERABLY AND STOPPED WORKING; FORTUNATELY WE WERE ONLY A HALF-MILE FROM HOME. MECHANIC ADVISED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY WIPER BRACKETS IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. ADVISED THEY WERE SURPRISED AUDI HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE. *TR

THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS INTERMITTENTLY, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, ADJUST THEMSELVES OUTWARD MAKING OPERATION A DANGER. NEVER ABLE TO DUPLICATE AT DEALER, NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL A PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO PAY TO EVALUATE, AND NOW THEY SAY THEY WILL ONLY PAY IF THEY FIND SOMETHING. *JB

I HAVE A 2002 AUDI A4. WIPER STOPPED WORKING. CHECKED FORUMS AND THE OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR HAS AUTO DIMMING FEATURE THAT HAS FAILED TO WORK CONSISTENTLY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. THI SAME MIRROR ALSO ADJUSTS ITSELF WITHOUT THE OPERATOR TOUCHING THE ADJUSMENT SWITCH. THE DEALERS COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THESE PROBLEMS AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT CLEAR OFF THE SNOW ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN FLAW, AND THERE WAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *AK *LA

RIGHT SIDE MIRROR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS WHEN CAR IS IN REVERSE, HOWEVER WHEN YOU GO BACK IN FIRST THE MIRROR DOES NOT RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL SPOT. AUDI HAS SAID THAT THIS IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. IT IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE EVERYTIME YOU NEED THAT MIRROR IT IS POINTED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION (USUALLY INTO THE SKY). IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND GENERAL DRIVING, THE MIRROR IS NEVER IN THE CORRECT SPOT. I HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE IN ORDER TO SEE IN THAT VEHICLE YOU NEED THAT RIGHT SIDE MIRROR. I RECENTLY HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE A GUY CUT ME OFF, I COULD HAVE EASILY MOVED INTO THE OTHER LANE BUT BECAUSE THE MIRROR WAS POINTED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION. WHEN I SLAMMED THE BRAKES THE BUY BEHIND ME SLAMMED HIS AND SLIDE RIGHT BY ME NARROWLY BASHING MY BACK BUMPER. THE WHOLE THING COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE MIRROR WORKED. THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. AUDI AGAIN HAS SAID IT IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND AN ACCIDENT(S) IS WAITING TO HAPPEN. THANKS
