The contact owns a 2006 Audi A4. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the wife crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash the front driver side air bag did not deploy, however, the passenger side airbag did deploy, and both the front and rear driver side and passenger side headrest restraints activated. The contact indicated that no passengers were present in the vehicle during the crash. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not contacted. The local dealer was notified. The failure mileage was 160,000.
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.

Takata inflator recall I have called Audi of westwood - prime motor group - in westwood MA many times ove the past year to get an appointment. They say they will call back when they get the part.

Takata recall, have contacted dealer to remedy safety issue and understand there is no current solution or anything being done about a major recall to the supplement restraint systems fitted in my vehicle. Manufacturer has no future date for safety concern being resolved. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle. Transmission failure at high mileage due to torque converter seal failure and voltage spike to solenoid 3 causing transmission temperatures to rise and result in premature failure of zf 6hp19A transmission. Have contacted manufacturer and zahnradfabrik friedrichshafen ag to report premature failure of transmission, have not heard back. Vehicle was in motion when failure occurred causing sudden speed drop on a major highway, no injuries reported but accident prone.

Takata recall there has been a recall on the airbag inflators for quite some time. Apparently there is still not a remedy for my specific vehicle. I do not feel safe using my vehicle as I typically have to carry passengers. They need to fix my car!
