“My brake light started beeping and flashing one day while driving. The beeping and flashing continued through the next couple of weeks. I took my car to my mechanic and he said I would have to take it to the dealer because Audi won't release their service codes. I called the dealer and asked what was going on. The mechanic asked me were you driving your car in the rain? I had quite a few sarcastic responses to the stupid question but I just said, yeah. I assume a car is engineered to be driven in all climates including, rain. A product should be designed to perform its intended use. …”
