Safety recall 69z4 passenger occupant section system (pods) for audi a3s. I received notice of this recall from audi in august 2019 and at the time there was no repair available. I was receiving the airbag warning light and audio warning signals indicating that there was a safety system malfunction. The recall repair became available in september and i had the recall completed in late september 2019 at the dealership i purchased the car from brand new. In october of 2019 the safety warnings and audio warnings about my safety systems and my air bag light came on again. I called the audi wilisonville (oregon) to report the problem and they again attempted to fix it in november. In december, again the same warning lights and sounds came on. I again let them attempt to fix the issue in january 2020. They took 13 days and got audi usa involved to help service to fix the pods issue. In february of 2020, i again am experiencing the same issues with my airbags and safety systems and warning lights. Audi just continues to attempt to fix the car, but under oregon lemon law i only needed to allow audi wilsonville 1 chance at fixing the pods problem because and the issue can cause serious injury or death and i quote from the audi recall notice "in the event of a crash there would be an increased risk of injury to the occupant in the front passenger seat if the passenger airbag is switched off/not working." the dealership is offering to pay off the remainder of what i owe on the car, but i would still be losing over $17,000 in money i put down and have already paid in monthly payment. The warning lights come on randomly when i'm driving or stationary waiting at traffic lights. Audi wilsonville doesn't seem interested in working with me to find a resolution.
Audi has not come up with a repair for the pods recall. This is the second time they have needed to repair the pods system. Users could run into an issue where if an accident were to occur with a passenger the airbag may not deploy.no time frame given.
The contact owns a 2018 audi a3. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 21v198000 (air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer and manufacturer were made aware of the issue and informed the contact that the remedy was not available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Audi is unable to provide a remedy for the pods recall in a timely manner making my audi a3 unsafe for passengers sitting in the front passenger seat.
I've been waiting since march for audi nj to repair my airbag (pods) and it's already may 1st this is absurd and completely on the hands of audi and audi only. I don't want to risk having anyone in my passenger seat and god forbid get into an accident and it would be on my hands. Audi has to step it up because i'm more than sure i'm not the only one waiting for this to be available to service our cars.

On initial start, occasionally the car will become inactive while driving (sometimes stalls/sputters & sometimes just doesn't advance even while pressing on the gas pedal). Often the car spontaneously responds within seconds if it has not stalled, but recently now it stalls and sputters, then needs to be restarted. I was pulling out of a parking lot into traffic with safe distance, when the car became "dormant" and stalled. Luckily, there was a center lane that i could coast into to avoid causing a serious accident. Upon restarting the vehicle, the screen displayed "start/stop system: malfunction". I shut off the system and drove home. The next morning, the car did the same exact thing- had just started up the car and began driving- and it lost all power to the gas pedal/we almost came to a complete stop- but the car was still running, then it quickly reset itself. This time my service engine soon light came on. I called the dealer and took it in for service. I was told that it was bad gas and that i needed to take it to certain gas stations -marathon or shell only and only put premium fuel in it (although the manual states that i can use 87 or 89). The car is unsafe and is dangerous to drive. I am putting myself and my occupants in danger and also the lives of others around me. I understand that there is a class action law suit that was filed in 2020- this cannot wait- there must be a recall- someone will get seriously hurt or even die because of this.

Due to condensation/fogging, front headlight projection is reduced to less than half. This is a safety issue driving at night time.

Hi, i bought an audi a3 2018 on november 2017 from audi of rochester hills, michigan.since then i have had issues with the original pirelli tires in the car. Two incidents happened within a span of 1 year where the tire was damaged on the side wall and and it was irreplaceable so i had to get a new tire within few months of buying the car. On dec 15, 2018 i lost tire pressure while driving in shelby township, michigan and when i took the car to the dealer i was told that there was sidewall damage. On may 31, 2018 i went over a pothole at the intersection of hurontario & eglinton in mississauga ontario, where one of the tire got punctured (complaint filed with city of mississauga, transport canada and picture attached). I took it to a mechanic shop and they said that i'll have to replace the tire as they couldn't fix the tire because the side wall was damaged. Once i got back to michigan i got a new tire at the dealership and i asked both the dealership and pirelli about the quality of the tires but was told this is what the supplier (pirelli) suggested for the a3. I was told at the dealership that this is an issue with the low profile tires on the audi cars. If the dealership is aware of the issues then this should be communicated back to the oem as well as the supplier. This is part of the quality and safety standards that dealership should be providing to the customers. Within a year i had to pay for tires because the quality is not good enough to handle potholes? the issue happened in low speed for me so i was able to steer the vehicle to safety. If this had happened on a highway, it could have been a dangerous situation. Thank you for your consideration.
