Hi there, I purchased an automatic 2005.5 S4 (B7) around a month ago. Since I've had it, I've noticed a couple electrical glitches and am wondering if this is normal for a car that is known for less-than-perfect electrical systems.

1) went to get into my car this AM and the keyless entry didn't work. The red light on my key was blinking, but the car didn't respond. Used my key to get in. When I got to work, everything worked fine.

2) Sunroof. It was open, I turned the dial to close it and... nothing. Turned it back to the open position, then back to the closed position and the sunroof closed. Weird!

3) Response of the accelerator. This one is hard to pinpoint and may just be me and my neurosis!
a) Sometimes I swear that in regular "D" (not "S"), the pedal is barely responsive. I have to go past half way to get the car to do something.
b) In "S", the pedal is extremely responsive. The only thing is that sometimes I feel it's very jerky when I give it short bursts of acceleration. This might be normal, but seems odd to me.

Regardless, I love the car.

Anyone else notice oddities like this?

Cya,
Steve
