"takata recall"
Takata recall - airbag replaced per recall but airbag light remains lit due to faulty seatbelt in rear center passenger seat.faulty seat belt needs to be put under recall as this seems to be a common issue in the audi.
My 2008 audi a6 avant has had an air bag warning light appear 3 times in 2 years. Each time it gives error codes for it's center, rear seat belt. I was told that this means that the restraint may not work effectively in the event of a crash or abrupt stop. It has happened at 12,983 miles, at 29,000 miles and now at 39,000 miles. Nobody should use it until it is fixed. 1st time audi did gff test steps and cleared code, second time they replaced the seat belt itself. Now they believe it to be an electrical system issue.

I was involved in a passenger side impact accident where the passenger side curtain did not deploy. The impacting vehicle was traveling above 35mph when it struck. There were no skid marks nor any attempt to slow the vehicle before impact. Both vehicles were totaled in the collision. All passengers in both vehicles (1 driver/ 1 passenger) were transported to the hospital for injuries. The vehicle is currently located at iaai in baltimore.

" takata recall " in december 2016 i purchased a used low mile 2008 audi a6 from boise volkswagen-audi in boise idaho. It has the takata airbag recall on it. I believe audi new about the recall before i purchased the car. The dealer has not fixed it because they don`t have the parts. Their solution is don`t let anyone ride in the front seat! really? i have two teenage kids and two elderly parents i take care of. I can`t own a car that i cannot use or should i have too. The recall says the metal parts of the air bag can come apart and can cause fatal injury, so that puts everyone in the car in danger, not just the passenger!i think audi should buy my car back or give me a loaner car until they are able to fix the safety issue.i am super unhappy with this and afraid to even drive the car, but i have to because its my only source of transportation. What can be done?
Takata recalli have been waiting over a year for the airbag fix on my car. This amount of time is extremely concerning given this is a life/safety fix. How much longer will this take?

Takata airbag recalli received notice in march about this recall and it's now almost october and i have note received any information about a repair.i am extremely concerned about this life threatening problem and am unsure what else i can do.there is zero information about when a fix will be available for my car and audi has not offered any type of alternative transportation until the car can be fixed.
Takata recall, nhtsa: 17v032, i received a letter from audi in march 2017 informing me of the recall. I contacted my local audi dealer every month since trying to schedule the takata airbag repair. After over six months audi is still not able to schedule or complete the repair. This is unacceptable since it is such an important safety concern. There does not seem to be any way to move forward and audi does not provide any information about when the repair will be available. I believe this is taking much too long to complete. Any help in the matter would be appreciated. Thank you.best, [xxx]'information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I initially contacted the local audi service dept (301-986-8800) on 8-26-16. They took my information and said that they would notify me when replacement bags were available. I just received my third notice from corporate audi re the urgent nature of attending to the replacement. I again called my local audi, was told to speak with the service manager. I left her a voicemail and received no call back. There should be a consequence to such behavior at the local level when the corporation purports to be interested in making their vehicles safe for their customers.

"takata recall" july will mark one year and audi still hasn't replaced my defective airbag. I live in georgia(zone a) and waiting a year to have something this dangerous not addressed is 100% unacceptable! these airbags have caused multiple deaths and with a family, not having someone sit in the front passenger seat is not an option.i'm forced to put my children in danger everyday driving them back and forth to school and audi's response to their loyal costumers is don't drive the car or you can spend more money to trade up to a new car. I write this complaint in total frustration and hope that you can "move" audi to do something about this life threatening issue. Thank you

Audi periodically sends out a provocative safety warning to 'schedule your repair immediately' stating that (my) 'safety and satisfaction are their top priorities'. When i call a dealer, i'm told that i already have the (temporary and only)fix (as takata went bankrupt). Please encourage corp audi to get their story strait. The only fact i know for certain is that neither i or anyone one i know will ever buy another audi.

Takata recall related - a nhtsa recall number has been issued - 17v032 and a manufacturer recall number has been issued - 69p6 nearly 11 months ago but no remedy has been provided.
Takata recall - for over a year, the audi dealership from which i bought my car in chicago has said on 3 different occasions - the last approximately 4 months ago - they don't have the replacement for it yet.however, i just read on your site that the interim repair is replacement with a new takata insulflator, which seems like it would be available.my car is 9 years old and i also read on your website that the risk of detonation increases with age.my car should be a priority.

Takata recall. Airbag has been identified as defective product with the potential to cause fatal bodily harm in the event the product deploys. Since 2016, multiple audi dealerships have not provided a solution regarding this issue.
Takata recall:after receiving the recall notice in may 2016, i contacted audi in september 2016 to find out the progress on resolving the airbag issue. They indicated that they had no solution and no timeframe for a solution.as of december 10, 2016, that still appears to be the case. I am concerned because the vehicle is 8 years old and we live near the coast in florida. As i understand it, the recall priority is based partly on vehicle age and humidity in the area where the vehicle is used.i am trying to get some idea as to when this will be resolved. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recall. Audi is refusing to provide a loaner car until the recall is completed. Is this allowed to happen? what rights do i have?
Wondering when the airbag recall will be fixed.we have had the car since sept. And we still have not heard anything about fixing this problem.we can not ride with anyone in the front seat.

Takata recall: recall has been in effect since may 27, 2016 and no further updates have been provided by manufacturer, replacement/loaner and compensation requests have been denied, and no date has been provided for repairs. Manufacturer has advised to drive without a passenger "when possible" but i have no idea whether doing so is safe or if i'd be putting the vehicle occupants in significant danger. Manufacturer has been unhelpful and refuses to provide any additional information beyond contents of initial recall notice letter.
2008 audi a6 quattro. Consumer writes in regard to dealership failing to replace faulty components in a timely manner; airbag safety recall no. 69r7. *as
The exterior lights go out while driving.this has occurred on all four sides of my vehicle and the passenger front side twice.this is a known problem.the voltage is too high/hot for the the cheap wires audi used in the their assembly light housing that the wires protective coating is literally burned/melted off exposing the wires. This then leads to the lights and computer chips to go out, and fires to occur in vehicles.there are many reports on the internet reporting this and audi is aware but refuses to do anything about it three mechanics that i sent my car to also said they see this a lot in audi vehicles.i was in two near accidents because the tail lights went out while driving and the other car did not see my turn signal or my brake light in the other incident.some one is going to be hurt by this problem if they haven't already. I have almost twice.i have contactedaudi all five times this has occurred to me but they refuse to cover or assist in this known problem and they then charge over $1200 for each light to be repaired not including labor!i did get one of the rear lights covered but that was because the car was still under warranty.
2008 audi a6. Consumer states when resuming acceleration the vehicle suddenly has a fuel shut-off causing a sudden and sharp deceleration and sudden loss of power transfer during acceleration.*tgwthe consumer stated the motor continued to run, but there was no power transfer from the throttle to the drive-line.
The wiring harness of both left and right headlight - the electrical wires within the plastic headlight housing going directly to the bulbs are losing their protective wire insulation. The insulation has become excessively brittle and is cracking throughout the entire wire length and in some areas wire insulation has fallen off the wire exposing bare wires. This can only be found when trying to change the light bulb since to access the defect area, the light bulb housing protective cover hiding the defect must be removed. The exposed bare wires cause a fire hazard in the engine compartment. In my car, i have found that while changing the light bulb and maneuvering the harness to have access to the bulb, this has excessively caused the brittle wire insulation to fall off exposing all the head light wires, in some instances several inches long, leaving them without the protective sheathing. Audi has admitted that they have seen this problem on their. I was also told that this happens due to the high current that goes through and the wires cannot handle the load (audi service manager at braman audi in west palm beach, fl told me this) but audi will not address the factory defect.
The head light would work sometimes and others it would not took vehicle the dealer was told must remove bumper and replace head lamp assembly complete the cost would be around$ 800.00after researching specific problem head lamp was replaceable without bumper removal and without headlamp assembly replacement cost 100.00 price of bulb. Audi of america should be able to troubleshoot this problem very easy and they are purposely trying to rip the customer off. Not to mention the danger a intermittent head light posses on the road dip head light error.
2008 audi a6 will shut off while driving. Consumer states that the vehicle shut off completely at speeds up to 65 mph. He states that this failure has occurred on three separate occasions.
Multiple issues on this car that all came on about the same time. The amb/parking brake module/esp warning lit up, and a few days later the car was not shifting into gear on startup, and when it did shift into gear it shifted erratically and went into neutral on occasion. The transmission control module, abs sensors both went bad on the car and the car was unable to shift into gear. The car sat at audi len stoler in owings mills, md for 2 weeks for problem to be diagnosed. They said it was the transmission control module and the abs sensor that was bad. They replaced the abs sensor in the hopes that it would resolve the transmission problem! it did not. The bill for the abs, and a failed driver door lock switch replacement was almost $1400! the transmission control module is a small black box that has the circuitry that controls the transmission. The part alone costs $2600 and with labor it costs almost $4000 - quote from dealer. A 2008 wit 70k and a tcm fails? according to audi forums, this is a prevalent issue. Audi needs to do the right thing and recall these cars and get this serious issue fixed. It is a design/quality control flaw. The tcm issue also causes the car to not shift right, or go into neutral while car is being driven. Recall these cars before lives are lost (if they have not already been lost). These are significant safety issues and is happening with newer cars. My car has been dealer maintained since new and i am a meticulous owner that does not abuse the car. These are premature failures that should not be occurring at this age and mileage.

The contact owns a 2008 audi a6. While driving various speeds, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (fred baker porsche audi 194000 rockside road, bedford, oh 44146) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The local dealer replaced the engine again. While the vehicle was parked, the engine seized. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer confirmed that the chambers to both the oil and antifreeze where shattered, which caused them to mix. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no assistance. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 300.
The contact owns a 2008 audi a6. When the vehicle was started in the driveway, a wobbling sound was heard. The vehicle shook violently and smoke emerged from the tail pipe. Also, the temperature gauge started to rise and oil started to flow backwards to the top reservoirs. The vehicle was turned off. The dealer (audi bedford in bedford, ohio) had the vehicle towed to their facility for diagnostic testing. The dealer diagnosed that the engine was working to standards. The contact also stated that the entire original engine was replaced in september of 2010. After the repair, the vehicle started hesitating when the accelerator pedal was depressed, and would even stall at times. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and refused to repair the vehicle again. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
I have 2008 audi a6 cvt (8000 miles) with 2 major issues.one of them being carbon deposit build-up on intake valve causing engine malfunction light to come up.the problem with this is caused by direct fuel injection of their engine and is common with every fsi engine as i was told.no fix for this and they will be charging about 1500 to clean and fix the problem temporary when the warranty expires. Second issue is with multitronic cvt.this is also their design flaw where the transmission have difficulties engaging causing severe shudder and jerking during an acceleration from stop.i have difficulty controlling the throttle and if i step on the gas pedal harder, it will cause sudden acceleration and if i don't, the car will jerk back and forth and will not get decent acceleration, which is a major safety issue. Audi states that there are no complaints for this and the vehicle is running fine.i had the loaner (a4 cvt) one and the caralso had the same issue, but significantly less severe.toyota is being honest about their faults but it seems like audi is trying to hide this issue until there is a death or an injury involve, which by that time, too late.

My wife and child were driving through the desert in arizona when our audi's driver-side xenon headlight failed. Then again 2 months later, driving with my wife and child through california the passenger-side headlight failed. Both times i was told it was the bulb. But we couldn't simply buy a new bulb. Audi needs to order it and take off the bumper to replace them. About a month later, driving through the arizona desert with my family, the driver-side light went out again. This time audi service said they need to replace the igniter for the xenon lamp. This all happened within 5 months time. I'd only owned the vehicle about 2 years. When these lights fail, i have to use fog lamps or high beams to have at least 2 lights working at once.
Headlight turns off during night time operation and displays error code dipped headlight.
The contact owns 2008 audi a6. The contact was driving approximately 45 mph when the vehicle stalled without warning.

After continually applying pressure to the accelerator, the vehicle was able to accelerate and the contact was able to drive the vehicle normally. The failure occurred multiple times intermittently. The vehicle was taken into the dealer where the technician stated that the software patch would need to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The failure occurred a second time and the same repair was made. The failure continued to occur. The vehicle was taken to another dealer where the technician stated that the failure was caused by the fuel module. The vehicle was not further repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 21,300.
I own a 2008 audi a6 quattro which has 40k miles. Recently the check engine light came up and when i took it to the dealer they mentioned that the engine cylinder is misfiring because of carbon deposits. The dealer said that the car is not meant for nj driving, it is meant to be driven in the autobahn. Dealership provideda fuel additive and said that things should be fine. This is not acceptable for a car that is in warranty.

2008 audi a6 serious problems with cvt transmission (multitronic)- vehicle shudders and does very odd movements setting at low speeds and hesitates when stepping on the gas pedal. In order to move forward have to step deep on the gas medal and have to drive at rather high velocity in order to move forward making it dangerous when pulling out of my home driveway in a residential neighborhood. Car will periodically do jerking movements and feels dangerous.
My 2008 audi a6 avant has had an air bag warning light appear 3 times in 2 years. Each time it gives error codes for it's center, rear seat belt. I was told that this means that the restraint may not work effectively in the event of a crash or abrupt stop. It has happened at 12,983 miles, at 29,000 miles and now at 39,000 miles. Nobody should use it until it is fixed. 1st time audi did gff test steps and cleared code, second time they replaced the seat belt itself. Now they believe it to be an electrical system issue.
Takata recall - airbag replaced per recall but airbag light remains lit due to faulty seatbelt in rear center passenger seat.faulty seat belt needs to be put under recall as this seems to be a common issue in the audi.
Multiple issues on this car that all came on about the same time. The amb/parking brake module/esp warning lit up, and a few days later the car was not shifting into gear on startup, and when it did shift into gear it shifted erratically and went into neutral on occasion. The transmission control module, abs sensors both went bad on the car and the car was unable to shift into gear. The car sat at audi len stoler in owings mills, md for 2 weeks for problem to be diagnosed. They said it was the transmission control module and the abs sensor that was bad. They replaced the abs sensor in the hopes that it would resolve the transmission problem! it did not. The bill for the abs, and a failed driver door lock switch replacement was almost $1400! the transmission control module is a small black box that has the circuitry that controls the transmission. The part alone costs $2600 and with labor it costs almost $4000 - quote from dealer. A 2008 wit 70k and a tcm fails? according to audi forums, this is a prevalent issue. Audi needs to do the right thing and recall these cars and get this serious issue fixed. It is a design/quality control flaw. The tcm issue also causes the car to not shift right, or go into neutral while car is being driven. Recall these cars before lives are lost (if they have not already been lost). These are significant safety issues and is happening with newer cars. My car has been dealer maintained since new and i am a meticulous owner that does not abuse the car. These are premature failures that should not be occurring at this age and mileage.
The contact owns a 2008 audi a6. The contact stated while traveling approximately 60 mph, he attempted to decelerate but the brakes locked up. The contact also mentioned that smoke and extreme heat emitted from the front brakes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and the abs system was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.updated 02/11/2014
