2008 AUDI A4 Air Bags Problems

i was in a pretty bad car accident, the car was totaled but the air bags didn’t deploy and i slammed my head on my steering wheel, i got side swiped and the driver door wasn’t able to be opened i had to kick it open and the front of the car hit a concrete pole going roughly 35 mph or more.

I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND REACHED OUT TO THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER ON THEIR WEBSITE NUMEROUS TIMES OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD (AT THE VERY LEAST SINCE AUDI ANNOUNCED AGREED TO THE REPAIRS). I KEEP ON RECEIVING NOTICE POSTCARDS FROM AUDI TO HAVE THIS SCHEDULED WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO BE PATIENT, THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN ONE COMES IN. I HAVE STARTED TO RECEIVE POSTCARDS FROM ANOTHER DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR...ONLY THIS DEALER IS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN CALIFORNIA! IT DOES NOT SEEM TO ME WHEN I CONTACT AUDI OF AMERICA THEY DON'T REALLY CARE. I ONLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY ABOARD(BECAUSE OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER ANTI PERSONNEL DEVICE). THE ONLY HELP FROM AUDI WAS IN THE FROM OF A RECOMMENDATION "DO NOT" USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TO RECAP 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I BELIEVE I LIVE IN ZONE2, NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO BOTH AUDI OF AMERICA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, RECALL NOTICES FROM CALIFORNIA! *****UPDATE: AS I WAS ABOUT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT I DECIDED TO CALL BENZEL BUSCH AUDI TO CHECK. AND MIRACULOUSLY THEY HAVE ONE. I WAS TOLD BY AUDI OF AMERICA THROUGH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE GREG M. ON MAY 16, 2019, THAT HE SPOKE TO KATHERINE AT SERVICE AND THAT THEY ARE AWAITING PARTS AND THAT SHE ASSURED HIM THAT I WAS A PRIORITY AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVES THEY WILL BE REACHING OUT TO ME DIRECTLY. IN THE ALMOST A YEAR OF WAITING, NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME, NOT AOA OR LOCAL DEALER. I CALLED HER TODAY JAN. 8, 2020 AND SCHEDULED A REPAIR ON JAN.13. IT WOULD SEEM THAT I AM NOT A PRIORITY.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I HAVE BEEN CALLING MY LOCAL AUDI DEALERSHIP IN CHANTILLY, VA EVERY MONTH OR SO TO CHECK IF THE PART IS AVAILABLE, ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER "SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK" (THEY NEVER DO). I UNDERSTAND THAT TAKATA WENT OUT OF BUSINESS BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. MY CAR AT THIS MOMENT IS WORTHLESS, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL IT WITH AN OPEN RECALL THAT HAS NO REMEDY AT THIS MOMENT, NOR CAN I HAVE ANY PASSENGER SAFELY SIT NEXT TO ME. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH AUDI FOR HANDLING THIS SO POORLY AND FOR NOT HAVING A SOLUTION. IN THE MEANWHILE I GET TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL MAILING REMAINDERS FROM AUDI ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK, THEY MAKE YOU THINK THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT THEY ARE NOT AND FOR MY OLDER MODEL CAR - A 2008 - THEY PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER AUDI EVER AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A CRITICAL, POTENTIALLY LIFE-OR-DEATH RECALL. HOWEVER, NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN PRESENTED.

IT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND I GO TO PARK IT. WHEN I PASS REVERSE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT MORE OFTEN AFTER IT RAINS. MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO A MAJOR FAULT. CODE P0706: TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR TELLS THE TCM THE POSITION OF THE GEAR LEVER. IT ALSO CONTAINS A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, WHICH ENSURES THAT YOU CAN ONLY START YOUR CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO SET ARE: FAULTY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR MISADJUSTED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR OPEN OR SHORTED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR HARNESS FAULTY PCM IT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THE A4 AUDI'S. ITS DANGEROUS AND ITS NOT ANYTHING THAT OWNERS OF THE AUDIS DID OR DID NOT DO. I HAVE NEVER NEGLECTED MY CAR. IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ENEVATABLE BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED DURING THE MANUFACTURING.

TAKATA RECALL-MY 2008 AUDI A4 HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR MUCH GREATER THAN ONE YEAR. I AM AT THE AUDI DEALER TODAY FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND AGAIN I HAVE BEEN PRESENTED WITH A REMINDER THAT MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL AND THAT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS NO ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT! I HAVE BEEN PATIENT LISTENING TO THE CORPORATE-SPEAK ABOUT HOW THIS IS A NOT AN AUDI PROBLEM, BUT A TAKATA PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, I BELIEVE THAT VOLKSWAGEN AG, THE OWNER OF AUDI SHOULD OWN THIS PROBLEM AND NOT CONTINUE TO PASS IT OFF TO A FINANCIALLY UNACCOUNTABLE INTERNATIONAL PARTS MANUFACTURER. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DEALER TRADE-IN BECAUSE OF THIS UNFULFILLED RECALL. AT THIS TIME MY FINANCIAL LOSS IS NOT INSIGNIFICANT, HOWEVER THE SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO LIFE THREATENING INJURY CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED BY AUDI OR VOLKSWAGEN. PATIENCE AND REASONABLE UNDERSTANDING CAN BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE BY CORPORATE GREED. I NOW REFUSE TO ACCEPT CONTINUED DELAY FROM THE MOST PROFITABLE DIVISION OF VOLKSWAGEN AG.

I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY LOCAL AUDI DEALER WHO HAS STATED THAT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS OR MORE. WE HAVE WAITED FOR THE FORD RANGER AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ALREADY. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SCRAP EITHER OF OUR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND START OVER WITH ANOTHER CAR, NOR CAN WE AFFORD TO RENT A VEHICLE TO REPLACE EITHER OR BOTH OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE FOR OUR FAMILY. THIS LACK OF A SOLUTION ON THE PART OF THE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND BY THE GOVERNMENT OVERSEEING THIS ISSUE IS DEPLORABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. SAFETY RECALL 69N2. I RECEIVED TWO NOTICES OF THIS RECALL FROM AUDI OF AMERICAN, INC, THE LAST ON APRIL 28, 2016. A TELEPHONE CALL TO THE DEALER (AUDI OF HILTON HEAD) AT THAT TIME ADVISED THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE, WITH NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN REPAIRS WILL BE MADE. I AM CONCERNED THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION IS LONG OVER DUE AND THAT A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION REMAINS.

"TAKATA RECALL" NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WENT TO PRESTIGE AUDI TO STATE MY CONCERN ABOUT A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THAT. IT ISNT TO DANGEROUS. THIS RECALL CAN CAUSE A FATALITY. WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT. I NEED ANSWERS . I DRIVE AROUND ALOT

TAKATA RECALL MY COMPLAIN IS THE LACK OF IMPORTANCE BY AUDI AND TAKATA WHEN THEY DONT HAVE A TIME TABLE AS TO WHEN PARTS ARE GOING TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THEY DONT CARE IF YOU HAVE TO SIT YOUR SPOUSE OR CHILDREN AND POTENTIALLY EXPOSE THEM TO A TRAGEDY, SHOULD YOU BE INVOLVED IN A AUTO ACCIDENT. IN MY CASE I HAVE 2 VEHICLES, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE THE SAME RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE THAT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS UNSAFE AND IS RECALLED. THERE IS NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE TO THIS DATE. I DRIVE WITH A PERSON WHO IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC AND MUST SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I ALSO DRIVE A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND WE NEED TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL AS THE REAR SEATS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I REQUEST A SPEEDY REMEDY/ REPLACEMENT AIR BAG.

TATAKA RECALL: A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP! MY FAMILY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANY TIME WE HAVE TO USE OUR CAR FOR OUR DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES AND ROUTINES.

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF THE RECALL, WE CANNOT PLACE OUR DISABLED SON IN THE FRONT SEAT SUCH THAT WE CAN KEEP AND EYE ON HIM, AS HE CAN'T CONTROL HIS IMPULSES. IT IS NOT SAFE TO PLACE HIM IN THE BACK AS HE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. THIS IS AN EXTREME HARDSHIP, AND AUDI WON'T PROVIDE ME A LOANER CAR OR A SOLUTION. IS THERE A CLASS ACTION SUIT INVOLVING THIS ISSUE? AUDI HAS PROVIDED NO HELP, AND TAKATA CAN'T BE REACHED. WHAT WE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?

TAKATA RECALL - MAY 27, 2016 WITH NO REMEDY THE RECALL IS FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE ONLY. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE IS NOT ALSO IMPACTED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT YET SINCE THE CAR AND THE AIR BAGS WERE ALL BUILT AT THE SAME TIME AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT THEY WOULD NOT PUT TWO DIFFERENT BRANDS IN THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO REMEDY AS OF YET. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO BE PUT IN THIS SITUATION. SOME ONE SHOULD PROVIDE ME A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, BUT THAT NO SOLUTION WAS AVAILABLE. I REQUESTED MORE INFORMATION BOTH FROM MY LOCAL AUDI DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS FROM AUDI USA AND RECEIVED NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER. THE BEST ESTIMATE THE DEALERSHIP COULD GIVE ME WAS 8 MONTHS TO A YEAR BEFORE A SOLUTION. THIS MEANS THAT I CAN NOT SAFELY HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE OR OUR INFANT INT HE BACK SEAT FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME, ESSENTIALLY RENDERING THE VEHICLE USELESS. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD TO ME AND I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL: THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARD TO PASSENGER AIRBAG ONLY, WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVER. I CONTACTED AUDI USA, 800-822-2834 AND CONFIRMED WITH THE REP ( VINCE) THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE AVAILABLE REGARDING THE DRIVER AIRBAG NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. AUDI USA IS NOT ABLE/WILLING TO PROVIDE A LETTER INDICATING THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO BE CONCERNED RE; DRIVER AIR BAG AND MORE IMPORTANTLY , THAT IT IS SAFE.. I FIND THIS TO BE VERY INAPPROPRIATE, I LIVE IN MIAMI, FL. A HIGHLY HUMID AND HOT STATE WHICH TAKATA HAS REPORTED AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE DUE TO PROPELLANT DEGRADATION OCCURRING AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO ABSOLUTE HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING. I KNOW FOR A FACT CAN BE DEADLY IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I WAS INFORMED BY THE AUDI/ REP THAT THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE IS TO " TAKE THE CAR APART TO CONFIRM MANUFACTURER OF AIRBAG." THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DENY A FAMILY/FRIEND TRANSPORTATION ( PASSENGER ) BECAUSE I HAVE A RECALLED AIRBAG WITH A "REPAIR SOLUTION PENDING." IN ADDITION, I AM MAKING MY CAR PAYMENTS TOWARDS A CAR THAT I NOW FEEL UNSAFE, AND CANNOT ALLOW A PASSENGER TO ACCOMPANY ME. I AM REQUESTING A PROMPT ANSWER TO MY COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT WE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT AND SOLUTION TOWARDS THIS PROBLEM.

I ACCIDENTALLY DROVE OVER THE RUMBLE STRIP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW AND THE CAR FLIPPED OVER SIX TIMES AND CHANGED DIRECTION. EVERY SIDE AIR BAG INFLATED EXCEPTED FOR MY SIDE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. THE FRONT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. MY A4 WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED EXCEPT FOR WHERE I WAS SITTING. WHEN THE FIRST RESPONDERS CAME THEY DID NOT EXPECT FOR ME TO BE ALIVE AND THE ACCIDENT WAS CLASSIFIED AS A LEVEL 2 TRAUMA. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND SUFFERED A MAJOR CONCUSSION WITH A HEMATOMA. I ALSO HAD MAJOR FACIAL LACERATIONS, A BROKEN NOSE, BROKEN RIBS, AND A SEVERE BONE BRUISE ON MY KNEE. AUDI SENT AN INSPECTOR TO THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND HIS CONCLUSION WAS THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH IMPACT ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE CAR FLIPPED SIX TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO DEPLOY MY SIDE AIR BAG. EVERY OTHER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE ONLY OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WERE MY TWO LABRADORS. NO OTHER ADULTS WERE IN THE CAR. THE TWO LABRADORS EACH WEIGHED LESS THAN 65 POUNDS AND I WEIGH 135 POUNDS. AUDI HAS GIVEN ME A FREE MAINTENANCE PACKAGE FOR MY NEXT AUDI. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. A DVD OF PICTURES WAS MADE OF THE CAR ALONG WITH A REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *JS
