Purchased the vehicle a few months ago (July of 2020). Before buying it I was told that the warning chime for the seatbelt had stopped working, so I took it to my local german auto shop to see what would needed to fix it. To my surprise, it's a part in the instrument cluster that would need to be replaced, but it's a common issue as these cars age for the warning chime to fail therefore not notifying or warning if the driver or passenger belt is buckled. Warning chime does not work whether stationary, or moving for any seat in the vehicle.

My personal Audi A4 was involved in a front end collision on an inner-city road due to loss of friction on frozen ice. Despite there only being a driver present in the car, the driver side airbag from the steering wheel did not activate while the passenger side airbag did. I had already previously checked the takata recall, which affect the exact model of my vehicle, yet when I entered the VIN, it displayed that no recalls were present. The collision happened at a speed of less than 25 mph, and the unneeded damage costs pf the passenger side airbags alongside the health risks of not having an airbag deploy for the driver has led me to filing this complaint as it was a very unpleasant experience.

On 7/15/18 I had a mysterious accident in ottawa county, Michigan, where I was knocked out for several hours and I have no recollection off anything at least a few minutes before the accident. My 2006 A6 quattro 3.2 avant (station wagon) was totaled by the insurance company. The county police rescued me and sent me to the holland hospital for a series of very costly procedures. The police report wrote that the airbag was deployed. And because it was not in a major intersection, a simple stop sign at the us-31, from the information in the report, I suspect I had not faced any impending crash to have had to push the breaks hard, and my vehicle only stopped because it hit a valley shaped ditch in the middle of the highway. Because of the number of related takata airbag failures on those types of cars, by the, on both sides, I suggest a thoughrough investigation of the case. I was blessed or lucky to have not lost my life nor became seriously injured, but my financial losses and legal complications amounted to a lot. I don't know how many people are at risk of not having their lives end because of an unnecessary mechanical failure in the Audi vehicles.
