I decided to stick with Audi and found a new A6 build I want @ Audi Rocklin. Beautiful car despite all the complaints out there... BUT unfortunately I'm having major doubts about my decision right now for whole different issues... so buyer beware 💫

After I picked up the car, on my drive home, I noticed that the cruise control will not turn on, and lane guidance is disabled. So I contact the dealer and they need the car back to look at it... so back to the dealer goes my brand new car that I paid for..

The dealer tells me several days later that it needs a software update that is not available for several more months? Why are they selling the car then? So I just bought a $80k car without cruise control for several months?

It gets worse - the dealer (Audi Rocklin) also tells me that they damaged my new car(!) while it was in their possession so they will need to fix it at a body shop for me... 💸🤦🏻‍♂️

I emailed Audi customer support and it took them 10 days just for a tier 1 response to gather more information to push up the chain. No word on next steps yet. It hasn't been another 10 days yet so... maybe it's too soon to expect anything 😅🤔

At this point I want nothing more than to return the damn thing and go buy anything not Audi/VW/Porsche. Short of that, I think they at least owe me a new build that actually works as designed. 

I am still holding onto some hope that Audi and the dealer will make it right after such a shitty start, but it's not looking good.

I find myself, after being so excited to "upgrade" my Audi, telling myself that at least it's a lease... it could be so much worse if I had bought it straight up.

Wtf Audi USA / Audi Rocklin... Comon make it right so I can buy Audis again in the future 🙏🏼

 

2026 A6 - wtf?
