I contacted audi to be informed that my warranty expired 2 months ago however my vehicle was well within the 50,000 miles expiration as my car has 47,500 miles. I first spoke with a lady in audi customer service who informed me there was nothing she could do and later i got a hold of [xxx] who informed me i had to go to an audi dealer and pay for a diagnosis for them to help me in any way. I informed them that the dealer was 120 miles away and was due to the continuously snowy conditions i could not go to phoenix to get the diagnosis because my wipers were seized and it is still snowing heavily. Due to the nature of the safety hazard i shouldn't have to pay for a diagnosis anyways. I asked him for his managers information and he refused.
