I was not driving to work that morning and was going less than 30mph rather than 70mph. Audi service advisor states that there isn't a way that this was caused due to water damage. I disagree.

Due to the fact that the service advisor relayed his supposed findings to the insurance adjuster. I am currently liable for the repairs on the vehicle.

Exhibits an alarming tendency to weave from side to side without a steering input. This occurs without a change in steering wheel position, vehicle speed, or change in road surface or prevailing wind direction. It is more pronounced at highway speeds and when wheel is centered at 12 o'clock but does occur at all speeds and steering vectors. Audi dealership notes the problem and blames the new electric steering system but states it is a "characteristic" of the system and is not a defect. I disagree and feel any direction change in a vehicle without a driver input or a explainable external factor constitutes a potential safety issue.
