2017 AUDI A4 ALLROAD Complaints

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL #18V370000 BUT MY CAR IS NOT IN LIST OF RECALLED CARS. WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, A WARNING MESSAGE SAYS THAT THE BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION, THE AIR BAGS ARE TURNED OFF. A FEW SECONDS TO A MINUTE OR TWO LATER ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYS THE AIR BAGS ARE ON. THIS SEQUENCE CAN APPEAR MANY TIMES IN AN HOUR OF DRIVING OR NOT APPEAR AT ALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH THE DEALER THAT WHEN THE MESSAGE SAYS THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF, THEY REALLY ARE OFF. SO MY PASSENGER SOMETIMES LACKS THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY THE AIR BAGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 AUDI A4. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL HER INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IN DASH AND CHIME CONTINUOUSLY GOES OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING) - WITH OR WITHOUT PASSENGER IN SEAT. BROUGHT CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE 'RE-HARNESSED'. ALSO STATED THAT UNTIL THE REPAIR IS DONE THE LIGHT AND CHIME WILL CONTINUE GOING OFF AND THE AIRBAG IS AT RISK OF NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT WILL COST ABOUT $300 TO FIX.

CPSC: DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, SIDEWALL BLEW OUT ON TIRE. PIRELLI CINTURATO P7, 245/40R18. THIS IS THIRD TIRE IN A SET OF 4 TO FAIL ON AN AUDI A4, 2017 MODEL *DT *TR

I LEASED MY AUDI A4 IN JUNE 2017 AND I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER FOR THE FIRST SERVICE AT 8000 MILES AND THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AS TIRES HAS NO MORE LIFE IN IT. LATER, I CHECKED WITH THE OTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. I HAD CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 6 R02 BW 245/35R19 93Y TIRES. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE TIRES OR QUALITY OF THESE TIRES ARE REALLY BAD. AUDI DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AS THEY SAY CONTACT CONTINENTAL. WHY WOULD AUDI PUT SUCH BAD TIRES IF THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LAST FOR 8000 MILES?

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON ONCE AND THAT IS WHEN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD DETECTED A PROBLEM. AUDI REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TWO TIMES AFTER NUMEROUS SERVICE VISITS! THE SPUTTER, LAG, OCCURS ALL THE TIME I EVEN RECORDED A VIDEO BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE RECTIFIED.

AFTER HAVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 18 MONTHS THE CAR BEGAN TO FREEZE WHILE BACKING UO. THERE ARE NO OBJECTS, CARS OR HUMANS ANYWHERE AROUND THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AUTO LOCKS UP AND THE BRAKES ENGAGE, YOU HAVE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, MY GARAGE WHERE THERE IS NOTHING NEAR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AUDI 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED AUDI USA NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE . I CONTACTED AUDI'S EXECUTIVE OFFICES AS WELL.

WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN WET WEATHER AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT 70 TO 80 DEGREES F WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, THE PARKING BRAKE INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS UP REQUIRING A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF THROTTLE TO BREAK IT LOOSE.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT LATCHED, I RECEIVED A WARNING/REMINDER TO FASTEN THE SEATBELT. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE CHIME AND WARNING MESSAGE STOPPED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE SEATBELT RECEPTACLE.

I HAD TWO TIRE SIDE WALL DEFECTS THAT RESULTED IN "BALLOONING" OF THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. THE TIRES ARE PIRELLI 245/40/ R-18. THE CAR HAS 12,500 MILES ONLY. I FOUND OUT THE FIRST BIG BALLOON AT HOME AND NEXT DAY NOTICED THE SECOND ONE SMALLER BUT GROWING.
