Description of the problem | When the car gets cold, the latch on the trunk won't catch. So, you can have the trunk latch closed when you leave the garage. But when you park in a cold outdoor lot, the latch will come undone, and you can't latch the trunk on the way home. So when you are driving and hit a bump, the trunk lid rattles around. But this only happens when it is cold. The service guys at my audi dealer said, "yeah, this is a problem with these cars." if they know about it, why don't they fix it? They should replace the faulty trunk latches. It seems a safety hazard to have the trunk fly open when you are driving down the road. |
