The car was constantly smelling like smoke. It felt like it was going to catch fire. I got it serviced when it had to be serviced at 15k but Audi dealership did not warn of any recall and mentioned everything was great with the car. In the end I had to sell the car which was in April, 22 because I didn-€™t feel safe driving the car anymore. I would also constantly get airbag being deployed warnings on the screen and one time the car shut down automatically as I was driving at about 45Mph going up the mountain

Any time my apple cell phone SE model is in the passenger seat, the seat belt unbuckled alarm intermittently is activated on the dash. I see this as a safety issue particularly if a child was in the back seat, since it could be realized as a false alarm, but actually be a true unbuckling somewhere in the vehicle. This occurs with the vehicle in motion, but the phone stationary (ie. Not traveling over road bumps, potholes or cornering) and is unpredictable. This has been occurring since I took possession Nov 30 last year and was not able to be rectified by the dealership or by them contacting Audi central for guidance. All that was done was resetting the electronics to factory settings which did not solve the problem. Only suggestion was not to allow the phone to sit in the seat?
