The trunk release button does not always work. The driver's window sometimes does not close up when door is closed thereby causing the dashboard to show that the door is open and beeping occurs. I also had to have the release for the gas cap disconnected due to not being able to release gas cap.

Electrical System · at 33,000 miles · reported Nov 8, 2013
The passenger side head lamp flickers and turns off while driving. The head lights must be turned off and back on to temporarily correct the issue. This happens multiple times a day.
Power Train · at 95,000 miles · reported Apr 15, 2013
While driving down the freeway the transmission shifted to neutral and the car would not go back into drive. Fortunately the traffic was not heavy at this time and I was able to pull off the road without an accident. The neutral problem now occurs quite often and I now have the car in for repair. The transmission is a dsg automatic transmission and after reviewing information on the internet there have been a lot of problems with this transmission in all model years and audi has only had a recall on later year vehicles with this transmission. I AM not sure why the recall would not cover all…
