“My 6 week old Audi A6 was totaled when I was driving 20 MPH! I looked down to check my odometer, and within that time, no warning signals , brakes, etc. Alerted me! This car had all the bells and whistles! That morning I was on a tree lined drive to the tennis courts! No alerts! Hit a tree and all air bags deployed! Tremendous impact for 20 MPH! I was all banged up, car totaled! I am still in disbelief...thought I had the world's safest car. Has anyone else had a problem???”
