Passenger rear tire failed while driving on the highway. Outside sidewall became detached from the rest of the tire.
My son drove the car for one week and his salesman had an appointment set for him to bring his car back one week later to add Audi Connect Software to vehicle and my son’s phone. We took his car back to the dealership and they added the software and we left.
