Panoramic sunroof has been making noise since I purchased the vehicle. Dealer has attempted to remedy the issue 5-6 times with no resolution. It's noisier during the winter than during the summer. Noise is heard anywhere from 20 to 50 mph on smooth or bumpy road makes no difference.
Front bumper paint pealing off. Had the bumper replaced just over a year ago and paint is already pealing off the new bumper. Audi refuses to replace bumper again because it's past the warranty. Can't even wash the car without more paint pealing off.
Chronic sunroof rattling. While driving at various speeds, panoramic sunroof rattles consistently while closed. Dealership has not been able to fix after 4 attempts. Vehicle is under warranty. Dealership is aware of issue but is unaware of a resolution.
