    Charge connection problem

    "Car would not charge with any standard (non high speed) chargers. Occurred upon first attempt of charging after purchase (3 days after purchase). Vehicle was in the Audi dealers possession for 6 weeks to repair / correct the issue. Issue should have been checked prior to selling it. The dealer has had possession of the vehicle for longer than I have, since purchased. Dealer service was very kind and responsive, Audi USA has been extremely difficult to work with and get in contact with. Extremely dissatisfied with Audi on this issue."
