I am writing with respect to recall report 18v370, possible failure of front passenger seat pods sensing system. audi notified me of this defect in july 2018 and still has not produced a solution for the recall. because of the unpredictability as to when or whether the pods sensing system might fail (including immediately before impact), i can't allow anyone to sit in the affected seat. i believe audi is being delinquent in its obligation to remedy this issue. my dealer informed me that there would be no solution until at least 2019. i believe this is causing consumer harm and that they should be compelled to remedy the situation immediately. they should be precluded from producing any new vehicles with the corrected part until they completely repair every affected existing vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 audi a6. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 18v370000 (air bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. while attempting to trade the vehicle, the contact was informed by audi financial that there was a stop sale on the vehicle. an unknown dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available and there was no timeframe for when the part would be available. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. the vin was not provided.
My car has a recall. i've called audi no timeline told me 3-6 months till can fix. i am also not allowed to sell my car because audi can't sell the cars. essentially i'm stuck with an unsafe car until audi decides they want to fix.
