What owners wrote
(1) suspension: front end groans and creaks over bumps (even small bumps), as well as when people enter and exit the vehicle, extent of danger unknown -- audi has "diagnosed" it as a "control arm" problem; (2) sunroof spontaneously opens on its own while vehicle in operation with no human involvement, causing major distraction and potentially dangerous situation -- audi has diagnosedit as an electrical "switch" problem.
When vehicle reached 30,000 miles control arms dried out and created an annoying sound. A black rubber compound was added, but the noise continued.
