Your experience sounds like my 4 years of Audi ownership. Many times I would have to turn around and bring the car back before I even got home because either the same problem was still there or new problems had arose.

Those cars were at the dealership with a problem at least once every month for 4 years straight. One time it was there for a month because they could not figure out why it was burning up the key ignition.

Sorry you are going through this, it ruins your confidence in the car and the dealership.
