I bought a second hand 2013 Audi a 3 from a dealership on Friday and I've had nothing but problems. When I got it home the engine wouldn’t start twice, once outside Tesco then secondly at the petrol station, I rang the dealership who said try the spare key which worked as the main keys battery had ran out. Reverse is gear 1 but pushed down first and the car is randomly going into reverse when I’m in gear 1 trying to pull away which lead me to almost smash into another car. My partner also drove the car and he found the same problem as I thought maybe it was just me accidentally putting it into reverse but it’s happened to him multiple times. The passenger seatbelt also keeps coming undone and won’t click in properly. The marks on the back of the car the dealership said they would sort but when ive looked the car is cream they have covered them in what looks like white tip ex and the front bumper is all damaged when you look closely ( I know I should have spotted the cosmetic problems before I left the garage ). I took my car to my partners garage he said that the gear box is dangerous so therefore Im not driving the car and having to get taxis to and from work. I rang the dealership yesterday to tell them about these problems and all I got was ring back Monday the boss isnt in. I part exchanged my old car for £500 and paid the rest via bank transfer.
I do not feel safe driving this car, does anyone know how where I stand about getting my money back as I don’t trust them to fix these problems ( went on garage reviews and lots of the same type of problems )
my partner did test drive this car and no issues came up then and the garage said it would have a full MOT and service before I picked it up. I have been saving for 3 years to be able to afford a car like this I know it’s not the end of the world and theys a lot bigger problems but I’m gutted
thankyou
