I had a window go down on its own though as well. I'm not looking forward to when that one happens during a rainstorm.

Most here know that I originally purchased a Neiman Marcus Edition TT coupe, which was returned to Audi pursuant to the CA Lemon Law. A number of problems have also occurred with my 225q roadster, though not quite to the extent as with the coupe.

Still, the same problems keep recurring over and over again. Some here state that all new cars have problems, and that this is essentially normal. I disagree, and I am disappointed that Audi seems to do little to resolve these problems.

The most common troubles include the infamous FWD tranny 2nd gear grind, electrical problems, faulty fuel gauge, door rattles in the same area, "morse code" whine in the CD player, faulty DV, etc.

Worse than the problems that occur is Audi's response to them. No one seems to know anything. Each customer service rep will act as if they have never heard of any of these problems, and often they try to blame things on the customer.

So while I love a lot of things about the TT, I can't help but feel that Audi is not holding up its end of the deal, and that both quality control and customer service/communications are lacking.

When I post something like this, usually I get flamed by an Audi apologist, but I really don't care. You see, I was perhaps the original apoloigist here on the TT forum, but personal experience has, regrettably, changed my view.

Let's hope that one day, someone from Audi with real power reads our posts, views these comments in the constructive light intended, and actually does something about it, rather than thinking that the author is a nuisance.

In my case it was the headrest. When the headrest was raised, it sqeeked/rattled when no passenger. When the headrest was lowered to contact the seat, noise went away.

Only other similar issue is the DV...

I've found that if the passenger seat is empty and all the way back, the back sometimes rubs against the seat causing the squeeks...

haven't looked into it much, radio drowns it out 8-)

I have the squeaky seat thing, but it's the drivers seat. Whenever you push down on the seat nearest the backrest it makes a really loud and annoying "thong" sound. It happens constantly when you go over any kind of bump in the road. It's loud enough that you can still hear it with the stereo on. I traced it down to a specific spring that resides at the far right-rear part of the seat, but the spring is not loose. I'm going to have the dealer look at it when I bring it in for the 20K service (soon). The sound developed suddenly a couple of weeks ago. ?????
