problem #6

A4

  • 90,000 miles
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.

Lately the airbag light will come an and I will get a message saying "safety malfunction", I am taking it by the shop tomorrow, but just in case someone else has this problem, it will be identified. We were driving and it came on, then went off then came back on. Also the identify up by the lights were going between passenger air bag off and on, and my wife was in the passenger seat.

Takata recall -- Audi issued the recall in Jan 2017 and still does not have replacement parts available. Meanwhile, I am unable to take my wife or other family/friends anywhere in my car because I fear for their lives (based on the recall letter's warning of injury/death). I called Audi of America twice, and they have not started sourcing parts. I called the dealership, and they have no received parts, nor have they replaced any takata airbags to date. It appears that even though a recall was issued, nothing is happening.

A4

  • 11,000 miles
Sensors in driver seat failed, causing the airbag light to light, signaling to the car that the seatbelt was not latched. This was an incessant problem throughout a drive. This happened 3 times, the first two times the dealer only reset the light. This last time, they replaced the entire drivers seat.
