Takata recall- 16v079 recall date: february 9, 2016 my vehicle is almost 4 years old and no due diligence has been taken to remedy this unsafe and possibly defective airbag.
Takata inflator replacement issueon 12/31/2017 i was driving in los angeles under normal conditions when suddenly there was a hissing noise and some kind of particulate matter spewed from around the steering column where there is a join with the wheel. This was directed at my face for 10-15 seconds which i breathed in as i was driving. I am also "concerned" about the nature and contents of the particulate matter, and, that the airbag might not function properly in an accident or that it might inflate without any reason of its own accord.

After driving on the highway for about 18 miles, took an exit and stopped at a traffic light. When the light changed to green i entered the intersection and the engine stalled without any indication of a problem. I was able to start the engine right away.
While driving in seattle's notorious stop and go traffic, my a3 tdi, has stalled.it acts as if i have "dropped" the clutch, which is impossible being an automatic!!.this has happened to me on two occasions.there is less than 5k miles on my new car.both time it has gone immediately into university audi.first time, no answers.still waiting on diagnostics from today's episodes.
Intermittent problems with exterior lighting.i already replaced one of the rear license plate lights (not a bulb issue) and am now experiencing rear passenger side tail light issues where the tail light and directional signal cease working during the driving process and then start working at random.this appears to be a similar electrical issue like the license plate light.the tail light & directional signal failure are dangerous as the failures occur without warning while the car is being driven.

While at a complete stop at a red light, i felt what i can only describe as a "clunk" and the battery light on my dashboard illuminated. The car had stalled, and i had to restart the car entirely in order to continue on my way.

Purchased used 2013 audi a3 tdi 3 months ago. Only use diesel fuel. Driving onto i80 west when i heard/felt car hiccup, lost power. Coasted to stop sign, tried multiple time but would not start. Towed to dealer who informed me that fuel pump (hpfp) had come apart spewing metal shards into system and that entire system had to be replaced. Research showing documented failures in vw tdi (same engine) hpfp in 2010, 2011 and 2012.is system safe?

2013 audi a3 tdi., serviced for 65k maintenance 10/31/15. Next day , the car began abruptly loosing forward momentum under acceleration, and died in an intersection. Towed to audi, and they told me it was bad diesel. They flushed the diesel and replaced the fuel pump. (kroger denied my bad diesel claim.) on 11/2/15, the check engine light came on, same issues.dealer told me it was the engine speed sensor and replaced it.one month later, 11/6/15, my check engine light came on again, with the glow plug light flashing. This time the dealer said it is was throttle sensor fault. They had to order the part, and told me it was 'safe to drive'.in the time between, i would regularly experience the loss of forward momentum while accelerating up hills.i had the work done 1/7/16. 9 days later after the throttle sensor replacement, saturday, 1/16/16, while i was driving, the car began unexpectedly losing acceleration in an extreme fashion, and stalled out twice within a 15 minute drive. It had been suddenly and briefly losing acceleration when accelerating while going uphill for several days. It also stalled out while accelerating into an intersection (extremely dangerous) and while parking. I had an error # p2101, and it would not accelerate past 40 mph while going uphill until i stopped and restarted the car. On 1/18 (monday) i took my car into audi service. They have had it until now, 2/9/16, and have replaced the entire computer, and it has not fixed the issue. They were able to replicate the issue, but have not been able to find a solution. They now say that they recommend replacing the engine wiring harness. This is a concerning safety issue, given the abrupt drop in acceleration going uphill, the loss of acceleration and the multiple stalls while driving.
