2007 Audi RS 4 common problems

The most-reported problem areas across all 4 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — and what to check before you buy.

Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.
