I spoke to my SA today, he mentioned that he’s expecting a shipment of parts in a couple of weeks and is hoping it’s enough to fix most of the vehicles currently on the wait list (19 at the moment). He thinks we might be at the tail end of this fiasco. I’m not putting too much weight on what he said but seeing the alternator coincidently price drop today has my hopes up.

At this rate everything are just speculations. My take on that is maybe given the condition of various things such as supply chain, resources needed to pinpoint, develop and imply the fixes would cost way more than just buying the broken ones back and offer an incentive instead.
Who knows at this point? It's a giant random number generator and a game of chance.
Whomever makes the first step, let it be the consumers (class-action) or the manufacturer (Audi itself) would have the upper hand in controlling this issue.

if u like ur car, i would just ask them to give u a 2nd alternator to have on the ready. and agree that if it happens again after that they give u a 3rd alternator - but my guess is it will be resolved by then.

I would be more mad about them offering a trade than if they offered nothing at all. it is just such an insult, even w 5000$ off you will end up with a significant loss after tax for the new car and the amt. you would get for ur existing car.

I did contact a class action lawyer but it's going to take weeks to months to research the issue and potentially years to come to a conclusion if they even decide to take the case forward. And here I sit down a car for potentially a half a year plus and zero recourse....
So do I take a bath or frankly continue to hold out for 6 months to a year where the car will be worth less, I have continued costs and frankly increased blood pressure dealing with Audis incompetence......really have no idea what to do....

Yup and agree! I feel like I am stuck here between a rock and a hard place with nowhere to go. I have had a buy back request into Audi for 20 plus days and no answer back. Audi of America is very little help and the dealer is honestly saying they can not fix the issue. So I have a 50k dollar brick at the moment and no way to fix it. It's under warranty and I cant comprehend how Audi thinks by just ignoring the issue it's going to go away.
