I own a 2013 Audi A6 around 77K miles. I got the cel and brought it to the dealer. There is an internal transmission coolant value that is part of the cooling system and obviously, that component also helps keep the transmission temperature in check. The issue with this defective part is the valve malfunctions causing coolant to penetrate the transmission control module and from there into the wiring harness. When this happens, it is a catastrophic malfunction of those components and a potential fire hazard. Water and electrical do not mix well.

Recall 74D5 (passenger occupant detection system) that has been issued for my car. Ive had my car appraised at my local Audi dealership and at two prominent used car dealerships, were much lower ($3,000-$6,000) than the value of the car according to kbb.the representative at the Audi dealership mentioned that they are unable to sell this particular make and model of vehicle because it has a recall for which a repair is not yet available. Thus, the dealership must send the car directly to auction rather than preparing it for resale. I dont think it's fair that I'mlosing money on my vehicle because of the negligence of the car manufacturer and because of defects in their design. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle. The recall notice clearly states that the passenger occupant detection system may malfunction, and if this occurs, 'do not allow anyone to use the front passenger seat'in this situation, a front passenger seat occupant risks injury in a crash because a malfunctioning pods system may not make the correct airbag deployment decision for the type of occupant seated there.' I feel fearful about using the car, especially since there is no repair available. It is an inconvenience to not be able to use the front passenger seat without fear that there may be a malfunction.
