AUDI Complaints

MY WIFE RECEIVED AN "URGENT" RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON HER 2007 AUDI IN JANUARY 2018. TO DATE, THIS RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. A SECOND RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JUNE 2018 ON ANOTHER PART OF PART OF THE AIRBAG WHICH HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. THIS IS REDICULOUS ON A RECALL THAT COULD PROVE FATAL SHOULD MY WIFE BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIPS EXCUSE IS THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ?? AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS ?? WE COULD USE A LITTLE HELP HERE.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AFTER STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT SEEMED LIKED THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SLAMMED ON THE BREAK TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP.

I HAD THE SEAT POD RECALL REPAIR MADE ON MY CAR AND THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE INDICATOR GOING OFF AND A NOTICE ON THE DASH OF "AUDI PRE-SENSE: SYSTEM FAULT!" NOTICE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE PROBLEM OF A FAULTY AIRBAG CONNECTOR WIRE WAS NOT SOLVED BY A WIRE REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEAT-OCCUPIED WEIGHT SENSOR WAS PROBABLY BAD - FROM DEALER BUT NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION AND MY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY CAUSING ME A HEAD INJURY. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY SITING IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED $16,000.00 IN REPAIR COST.

AFTER RECENT CAR INSPECTION DUE TO RECALL FOR PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION I WAS INFORMED THAT WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 55 000 MILES ON IT. OTHER AUDI MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED, HOWEVER NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR AUDI A3 2015. AS A MANUFACTURER AUDI MUST TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY PARTS AND IT SHOULD REPLACE THEM ON THEIR OWN EXPENSE.

I PURCHASED A CAR DECEMBER 27, 2019 FOR MY DAUGHTER. SHE DROVE IT FOR MAYBE 4 DAYS (JAN 2-5, 2020)AND STARTED FEELING SICK. AFTER RESEARCH IT IS WAS PROVEN TO BE CARBON MONOXIDE (I HAVE VIDEO). SHE WENT TO URGENT CARE WHERE SHE RECEIVED OVER AN HOUR OF OXYGEN AND BLOOD WORK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BUT WASN'T OFFERED ANY COMPENSATION FOR THE WORK NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. AT THAT POINT I HIRED AN ATTORNEY TO TRY TO GET THE DEALER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND ISSUE A REFUND. I ALSO CONTACTED THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL TO REPORT THE DEALERSHIP. ALTHOUGH THE CARBON MONOXIDE IS THE MAJOR ISSUE THERE'S ALSO A LIGHT ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND A MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE CAR SOON. THE LIGHT INDICATOR IS AUDI MAGNETIC RIDE WHICH MEANS THERE'S A MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE'S DAMPING. THE CHASSIS NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I ASKED THE MGR ABOUT IT HE SAID THE CAR NEEDED WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS I CAN'T GET TAGS BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T PASS INSPECTION. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE IN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR. MY ATTORNEY SENT A DEMAND LETTER OF A REFUND AND THE DEALER RESPONDED OFFERING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. MY ATTORNEY ADVISED ME TO EMAIL THEM TO TRY TO GET THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I REQUESTED FOR THEM TO MAKE THE CHECK DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY THAT WILL DO THE TEST AS WELL AS THE REPAIR. I HAVE YET TO GET A RESPONSE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE HAVING MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE CAR HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN DUE TO THE DANGER IT HAS AND WILL CAUSE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I CAN'T AFFORD AN ATTORNEY AND ALSO PAY THE CAR NOTE. MY ATTORNEY WAS HIRED TO WRITE THE LETTER BUT NOW I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO HIRE ONE FOR REPRESENTATION. YOU CAN EMAIL OR CALL ME AT [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR FROM WORK ON A CITY STREET I HEARD THAT IT WAS KNOCKING AND HAD STOPPED THE CAR TO CHECK ON IT BUT WAS NOT SURE SINCE I AM FIGURING THIS CAR OUT. AFTER THAT DAY IT HAD BEEN KNOCKING. A FEW DAYS LATER IT HAD STARTING TO SHAKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ALL THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. BUT ANYWAYS WHEN I ACCELERATED TO A CERTAIN NUMBER, THE SHAKING STOPPED BUT WAS STILL KNOCKING. AND AFTER TIME IT JUST GOT WORSE AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 AUDI SQ5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE SOS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY AUDI ROCKLIN LOCATED AT 4448 GRANITE DRIVE, ROCKLIN, CA 95677, TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BLOWER ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THERE WAS ALSO A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH STATED THAT NO KEYFOB WAS DETECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,300.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2 MONTH OLD AUDI Q3 THIS MORNING THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE, DRIVE LINE MALFUNCTION. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AT ALL AFTER APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 2 TRUCKS!!! I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT WAS ABLE TO START IT UP. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY JUST CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY FOUND AN ERROR CODE P060C00 INDICATING AN INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX AT THIS TIME BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE IS A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO DISABLE THE AUTO START STOP FEATURE ON THIS CAR EACH TIME I START IT UP. WHAT DO I DO NOW? MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE AND DOES NOT WANT ME TO DRIVE IT EITHER! THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP!

THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY DETECTION SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS EVEN AFTER THE RECENT RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. AUDI STATES THAT THIS IS JUST WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAR AND SAY IT WILL COST $1300 TO FIX. IN THE MEANTIME, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING.
