Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“Keyless door sensors started to malfunction and would not unlock vehicle when touched. Brought problem to attention of dealership, which stated that they could not duplicate problem and thereby refused to fix issue while the vehicle was still under warranty. Now that the vehicle is no longer under warranty, the problem was found and the cost has to come out of my pocket. There should be a class action lawsuit regarding these keyless door sensor failures.”
