As I was driving on the freeway, a car on the left side of me crossed over a solid line and attempted to make his way into my lane. He came within inches of side blinding me. I quickly jammed on my brakes, and beeped my car horn. He then swerved back into his lane. Fortunately for quick actions, this incident didn't result into an "accident." But what really concerns me is the fact that both seats in the back fell forward exposing my trunk! if my five year old was with me, he would've been sitting in the back and could have possibly gotten injured, as everything from the trunk including the seats flew forward. Please check if there are other complaints regarding this problem. I purchased this specific vehicle because of its high safety rating.
Purchased car from elk grove Audi as a certified used vehicle. The seat broke and no airbags deployed. I was at a stop light with one truck in front of me also stopped. A Chevy Tahoe doing approx 45 mph hit me from behind, she moved over at the last minute so she did not hit me completely from the rear, she ended up hitting the back drivers side and then down the side of the drivers side. I was pushed into the truck in front of me. One of the officers asked if we had purchased the car used since the airbags did not deploy. Car was totalled - during the process of the settlement on the car the insurance company informed us that the car had been in an accident before. When we went back to Audi about it, they claim they had no knowledge of the previous accident. The reason we do not believe that is because the mileage on the accident claim is exactly the same as one of the service visit to Audi 5 days after the claim.
The carpet in front of my Audi A4 driver seat detaches from the attachment post on the floor by the drivers door and bunches under the accelerator causing unexpected acceleration. The dealer basically told me just to be aware and re attach it when it comes off. This has happened to me twice. I avoided accidents twice by throwing it into neutral.
