    This business with the car needs to be taken further. They’ve left you with a dangerous car, who knows what could’ve happened. Absolutely dire 🤬

    That's rubbish about the car and I hope you can take it further, it's not acceptable.

    Eeek that's worrying Beanie, glad you are ok.  Surely that's a lot of issues for something that must have been done last year and can't rack up mileage in lockdown?  I hope something can be sorted soon - and is something you feel properly safe in.

    Thanks so much everyone.
    My complaint has been escalated.
    Audi have been more than helpful & will be releasing the Audi cam describing the damage to car.
    Hardly slept last night for thinking about it.
    & breathe.

    It’s horrendous after all the work you had done on the same car failrly recently - you were without a car for a good while then too. They need taking off the motability  scheme if they leave people needing transport in such dire straits 😡😡
    Dont think about what might have happened - think how it didn’t and you are safe 👍
