Hi! My wife has had her 17' S3 for about 2 months. And the car has been in the dealership multiple times due too some (not major) but annoying issues that we have been having. Car is still in dealership still to this day.
1. When the car was less than a week old coming to a complete stop was not good (Still isn't). Especially from anything above 20 MPH the car would violently shake. And you would hear this loud squealing noise coming from the front wheels. Audi replaced the pads, F&R rotors (Replaced rear just to be safe). And that still hasn't solved the issue and our dealership still can't diagnose the issue.
2. We have a Prestige Trim level car which has power folding mirrors. When ever you fold the mirror's in (Via interior button) the drivers mirror motor will continue to try to fold the mirror in. Which causes the mirror to continuously push up against the window and eventually will stop after about 5 minutes. Dealership fixed this issue as of last week. But now when you fold the mirrors in the driver mirror only folds about 20% of the way!
3. Headlights we have Full LED headlights on our car and we noticed this the week after delivery. That the passenger side headlight will sometimes not turn on when you start the engine. Only thing thats on is the LED drl other than that the headlight itself just looks dead. But get this if you turn the lights off then back on again its on but won't level itself. Dealership still cant figure out this issue either they had replaced the entire headlight assembly which fixed it temporarily. Then 2 weeks later it started to do it again.
4. Engine: Sometimes we will hear this ticking sound from the engine when we start up the engine. And the RPMS will be up to about 5000. Happens even if the engine is warm. Which then causes a check engine light to activate and flash. Car is currently in the Dealership for this and the Headlights, Mirrors, Car veering to the left, and the violent shaking coming from the car.
Audi is working so hard to try to solve these issue with our car with less than 2k miles on it. Our dealership has tried their best to help us out. They have even gave us a 2017 Audi S8 BRAND NEW to drive until our car is ready. My wife say's she misses her 2014 BMW 335i.......... But for now we just need to enjoy this S8 that they gave us with a 134k price tag.
