I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding both the condition of the Audi S3 I purchased from Group 1 Audi Swindon in March and the unacceptable standard of after-sales service I have received.
The car, which cost £40,000 and is a late 2022/23 model, has shown poor build quality from the start—rattles, creaks, and vibrations over uneven roads, along with intermittent disconnection from Android Auto and random infotainment resets. This is not acceptable for a vehicle of this calibre and price. These faults should have been identified and rectified before sale.
Worse still has been the complete failure of your customer service. I was promised a follow-up call after purchase—this never happened. When I booked the car in via the Audi app to address these faults, I received no confirmation whatsoever. I was left completely in the dark, unsure if my appointment even existed.
This entire experience has caused me significant stress, wasted my time, and cost me money. It has been a failure at every level—from vehicle preparation to after-sales care. As such, I am now formally rejecting the vehicle under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 on the grounds that it is not of satisfactory quality and that you have failed to rectify the issues in a timely or reasonable manner.
Due to the character limit of this form, I am unable to provide the full details of my experience here. Please contact me directly so I can provide the complete account of the issues and my expectations for resolution.
