Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I purchased this car new from a dealership in oct 2014 and after several months I was parked with the engine turned off when another vehicle started to back into my parked car. I attempted to blow my horn as a warning when I discovered that the horn will not blow (sound) if the engine is not turned on! This is clearly a safety issue. When I asked the dealership they described this as a feature' of the Audi. I asked if they could wire my horn so it would blow when the engine was shut down and they said the wiring was too complex to make that change! …”
