2007 Audi A6 problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 AUDI A6. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AUDI OF ROANOKE (2006 PETERS CREEK RD, ROANOKE, VA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.”

“TAKATA RECALL - THE NEAREST AUDI DEALER IS 125 MILES AWAY. I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $6,000 ON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN VAIN AND CANNOT TRUST THE CAR TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG.. THEN THERE IS THE PROBLEM OF TRUSTING THE AIRBAG IN THE TIME I DRIVE TO THE NEAREST DEALER NOT WITH STANDING THE AIR BAG PROBLEM ALONE. IN REGARD TO THE ELECTRICAL FAILURES, I WAS NEARLY RUN OVER BY A SEMI AT FREEWAY SPEED WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES LIKE A GHOST IS INVOLVED AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROPERLY REPAIR IT. AT ONE MECHANICAL SHOP I LOST A WINDSHIELD AND AT ANOTHER I LOST A TAILLIGHT WITH REPLACE COST OVER $392.00. WHAT CAN I DO WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE CONSIDERED? I CANNOT SELL THE CAR DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE NEXT OWNER AND HAVE SUFFERED A LARGE DEPRECIATION. THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR ANYTIME BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING ACROSS A SPEED BUMP OR UPON A ROUGH STREET. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. THE DATE I GIVE BELOW IS BEST GUESS.”

“EVERY TIME I FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY THE ACCELERATOR STICK AND SPEEDS UP BY ITSELF NEED TO TAP THE PEDAL OR THE BRAKES TO GET CONTROL.”

“I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS IGNITION LOCK ERROR WITH THIS ISSUE IT CAUSES THE STEERING COLUMN TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT”

“THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS FOR THIS VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY FAIL AND THEN WORK AGAIN. INVESTIGATION REVEALED FRAYED, SHORTED OUT, DAMAGED, WIRING INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE INSULATION ON MANY WIRES INSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE CRACKED, MISSING, FAILED AND THE BARE COPPER OR CONDUCTORS TOUCHING OTHER NEARBY CONDUCTORS. I'VE MADE CONTACT WITH AUDI TWICE NOW FOR A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. TWICE, I'VE BEEN TOLD EITHER THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED OR WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. OUTSIDE OF ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT REQUESTS, I WOULD EXPECT AUDI TO TAKE INTEREST WHEN A CUSTOMER BRINGS A SAFETY ISSUE TO THEIR ATTENTION. I WOULD THINK FAULTY WIRING INSIDE BOTH HEADLIGHTS ON A MODEL-YEAR 2007 WOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN. IF I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN AND MY HEADLIGHTS SHORT OUT AND FAIL, I WOULDN'T BE IN A GOOD POSITION. I'VE WORKED IN MANUFACTURING FOR 10 YEARS NOW, AND SAFETY OF WORKERS AND OF THE PRODUCTS MADE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE #1 CONCERN. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE TREATED AS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE A ROOT CAUSE AND PREVENT FUTURE OCCURRENCES IN NEW VEHICLES. IT'S NOT OFTEN INFORMATION IS PRESENTED SO EASILY. THIS WOULD POSSIBLY SAVE THE…”

“PURCHASED AN AUDI A 6 2007 4 YEARS AGO. IT TURNED ITSELF OFF IN DRIVE MODE 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. THIS HAS CONTINUED SPORADICALLY. IT HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR SOME TIME AND THEN COMING TO A STOP. I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PROCEED AND THE CAR MOVES FORWARD. BY THEN, I AM OUT IN THE INTERSECTION OR IN A LANE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE MIL LIGHT GOES ON, INDICATING THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AND NO WAY TO MOVE FORWARD. THE CAR'S GEAR SELECTOR IS STILL IN DRIVE MODE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE BEEN TO 2 DEALERS WHO SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY FAULT CODES SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. AUDI SAYS WITHOUT A FAULT CODE, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. $40,000 FOR A CAR THAT BROKE 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND AUDI IS NOT RESPONSIBLE? *TR”
