A further update is in order:
My defective 2004 Audi A8 L(emon) has now been out-of-service since it disappeared into the shop at Prestige Imports (Miami, FL) on 7/17/03. A total of two weeks!
I am now informed that the dealer has finally obtained missing repair parts and intends to turn the car back over to me tomorrow after a road test.
So far, in 8 weeks of leasing and paying for this vehicle, I have not had one full week (or even three consecutive days) without some failure or other. I am, therefore, pretty skeptical about having "all" my "concerns" (read factory-defects) "cured."
I will report further equipment failures on my defective 2004 Audi A8 L(emon) as they occur. Other owners of defective 2004 Audi A8 L(emon)s, please reply on or off group. I am interested in exchanging information about Audi of America's policies with regard to owners denied the reasonable use of their vehicles due to excessive downtime and parts availability.
