12/26/18 - They were great with helping me find the car that i wanted in the price range that i wanted. I will say i kinda spent more time than i would of wanted at the dealership. When the car was found the Only hitch was that the car was in Houston and i basically bought a car by just looking at pictures and no test drive before i signed. The car was transported within a day and i took possession of it on the 27th. Them being an Autonation dealer they do offer 5 day money back guarantee so that put me at ease purchasing it without actually driving it. They also offer 90 day free bumper to bumper warranty which is great because since i took possession of the unit there have been a few issues that habe popped up with the car. The following are my issues so far....which im still baffeled as to how these issues were missed if the cars supposedly go through a rigorous inspection. So back to the issues...
I have a headlight range control issue that i immediately addressed at the dealership. Ive also noticed that i have a slight oil leak that is causing the engine smell like its burning. The engine issue also caused me to pop the hiod which then i noticed that the strut or compressed rod that helps retain the hood open is not working, when i lift the hood it doesnt stay up. Theres also couple other small issues like the clip that holds the sunvisor in place on the passenger side is broken and the spray that shoots out the windshield cleaner fluid on the passenger side doesnt work either. These are issues i would of expected from a tote the note type dealership not from a Audi dealership. Needless to say ive already spoken to Audi and theyve been great and now have an appointment to have their service department inspect and do the repairs on thursday. So for now i can just give a 3 star rating. But if and when they repair my concerns then they can be a full 5 stars. In the meantime they have also offered to extend the 5 day return policy seeing as the car has quite a few issues popping up...ill keep you all posted.
Update - We are now 11/27/19. Most of the issues have been fixed but I have had a couple more issues come up to replace the ones that were corrected. The roof lining towards the back of the car has begun to sag. The rear deck subwoofer has gone out. And the most major one is that now I've noticed that the vehicle burns oil like no other. I'm at the point where I need to top it op every 100 miles. I got a check engine light pop up and the code read that cylinder 3 was misfiring. I pulled the plug out and clearly saw there was oil on it. I took it to Audi of Plano to get it looked over and they're "technicians" claimed they pulled the plugs and they all looked good. Further more they said that the only way the service contract I bought from them would only cover and oil consumption issue after and if I paid for a $1000+ test to be done on the car. That's ludacris! I dont understand why you wouldn't do the test first determine the issue and if it wasn't under warranty THEN and only THEN would I have to pay. Needless to say Audi of Plano has accentially washed their hands of my issue. I also did some research and apparently ther was a huge issue with an oil consumption problem with the 2010 a4 models that was due to the piston rings being faulty. It was so major that Audi the manufacturer was require to extend a repair warranty to owners of these models but it was only for up 80K miles some years from the date it was put in place. Audi of Plano never at any point disclosed this to me and in fact gave me a document that indicated that there were no recalls in place when I bought the vehicle. Which has been determined to be a huge lie by the dealership and I intend to seek legal counsel. Nonetheless, I'm done with Audi of Plano and I will make sure that I share my experience with as many people possible and any way possible.
