Takata recall, my airbag light has been on since april 2018. audi of annapolis informed me that i have to purchase another steering wheel for $4000 to replace a faulty airbig, why? i have no horn and no air bag and i'm terrified to drive my car. i've been renting cars since april. my car is also overheating when it's idle for 10 minutes, however, when i start driving it cools down. i see recalls for other audi models, why not the 2012 a7?
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 audi a7. after driving, the contact parked the vehicle and noticed an abnormal odor upon exiting the vehicle. while waiting in line at a store, a passerby informed the contact that there was smoke coming from the vehicle as flames erupted from the front of the vehicle to the interior of the vehicle. several police officers noticed the fire and one of the officers notified the fire department whom extinguished the flames. a police report was not filed. the fire inspector indicated that there was a mechanical error. the failure occurred a week after the vehicle was serviced by gerald jones audi (4022 washington rd, martinez, ga 30907, (706) 760-2462). the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v781000 (fuel system, gasoline), but the contact did not receive a recall notification. the vehicle was towed to a facility. the contact notified the manufacturer. the approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
Check engine light came on so i took it to the dealership. dealership told me that the "coolant valve leaked into the wiring harness and shorted the engine control module. may have cause an unexpected stall of the vehicle."
