Car is at the dealership for 5K service but here's what they're also looking at:
- Backup camera fails intermittently (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2795754) - Was in before but they couldn't find anything. This time, there's apparently a loose wiring harness that they're fixing.
- Driver side window issue (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2798597) - It's not doing it at the moment but they're trying to see if they can resolve this for me...
- "Supercharged" badge falling off - since it was factory-installed, they're getting a replacement and swapping it out under warranty.

Also had some brake squeal early on which went away after bedding.

Can't wait to get my car back... but the 2009 A4 loaner that I'm driving has memory seats and it doesn't even have NAV... why didn't Audi put memory seats on the S4 P+??

4. Brake squeal

Wanted to find out from the people with the 2011s if they have similar issues or has Audi ironed them out with the 2011s?

Thanks in advance.
See recent S4 postings. Not sure if 2012 models are impacted.

I've had to bring the car in twice because of a squeaky clutch and it's starting to come back again... not sure whether I should try bringing it to another dealership.

I have a 2011 S4 as well and I haven't had any real issues... no thermostat recall done on my car. Did have my headlight washer get stuck once..

I had my 2011 S4 in for brake service on 4 occasions within the first 8 month of purchase. On my the 5th visit I was informed by the dealer (Chandler Audi) that Audi had a recall on the front brakes and had issued a new specification for the system.

New rotors and pads were installed and appeared to be a little larger in physical size however after 2 months I have the same squealing issue. Furthermore I informed my business partner of this “Recall” since he has the same issue only worse on his 2010 S4. He contacted his dealership (Scottsdale Audi) and was informed that they had no knowledge of this recall notice.

I got out of 5 series BWM and into my first Audi and question my decision. I love the car but hate the issues I have experienced which are not limited to brakes but yet also include an occasional transmission issue whereas it does not shift automatically nor can I manually shift it with the paddles.

Great German Engineering!
