DURING A REAR END COLLISION, THE VEHICLE, A 2019 AUDI Q5, WAS STOPPED, STATIONARY, ON A CITY STREET AT A SIGNAL AND STRUCK IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING APPROX. 30-40 MPH. BOTH REAR SEAT PASSENGERS IN THE AUDI SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT LOWER BACK INJURY AND ONGOING BACK PAIN POSSIBLY WORSENED AND SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE REAR SEATS AND SPECIFICALLY THE BUILT IN LUMBAR "BUMP" OR SUPPORT IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEATS. THIS STIFF AND EXTRUDING LUMBAR PROTRUSION BUILT INTO THE REAR PASSENGER SEATS WAS FORCED INTO THE LOWER LUMBAR REGION OF BOTH REAR SEAT PASSENGERS DURING THE MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION.

VEHICLE WILL HAVE A DELAY (1-3 SECONDS) WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE THE CAR IS IDLE, CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO CROSS TRAFFIC, AS IT ROLLS FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE THEN JOLTS FORWARD AS IT FINALLY ENGAGES. HAS CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPORTED IT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO OUR DEALERSHIP, YET THEY BASICALLY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO OR GIVE US THE RUN AROUND. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO TURN OFF THE AUTO STOP FEATURE, WHICH SEEMED TO WORK AT FIRST, BUT NOW THE VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM, EVEN WITH THE AUTO STOP DISABLED. THINK IT HAS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR NEW MILD-HYBRID SYSTEM. IT IS NOT WORKING THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OCCURS.

MY 2014 A6 AUDI RESULTED IN A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM WHICH CAUSE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO STEER IT HOME. I WAS GIVEN A MESSAGE NOT TO DRIVE AND TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 A6 AUDI STEERING GOT ALERT ON THE ELECTRONIC STEERING DO NOT DRIVE TAKE TO AUDI DEALERSHIP. I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND WAS EXTREMELY VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO MAKE IT HOME.

WHEN COMING TO AN ABRUPT STOP TO PREVENT A COLLISION THE MIDDLE ROW PASSENGER SEATBELT CAME UNBUCKLED. MY 2.5 YEAR OLD IS IN A FORWARD FACING CAR SEAT BUCKLED INTO THIS SEAT. THE BUCKLE CAME LOSE CAUSING THE SEAT THE BE FREE.

HIT A STATIONARY HONDA CRV ON BLACK ICE AT APPROX 45-50 MPH. IMPACT WAS STRAIGHT ON FRONT OF OUR CAR AND REAR OF THE CRV. OUR BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED, NONE OF OUR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. OUR VEHICLE WAS THEN HIT FROM THE REAR BY A JEEP WRANGLER AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. STILL NO DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAGS. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN A 31 CAR PILE UP ON I-68 NEAR EXIT 29. WE ARE VERY LUCKY THERE WERE NO KNOWN INJURIES OTHER THAN STIFFNESS AND SORE SPOTS. OCCUPANTS WERE DRIVER 52 YRS OLD AND FRONT PASSENGER 17 YRS OLD.
