“My air bag light and parking light icon came on at the same time while starting and remain on. I have read the exact same description from other Audi owners described in recall 6901 16v376. Why is my car not included?? I have restarted my times to no avail.”
NHTSA complaint #11183218, filed 2019-02, 41,600 miles“After letting my car sit for 8+ hours, every time I start my car and put it into either drive or reverse, it pulls hard as if I'm pressing on the accelerator, when I'm not. In order to not let it accelerate, I have to press down on the brake quite hard. This finally goes away after driving it for a few miles.”
