Will be driving down the road and warning light comes on and car forces me to switch over to manual transmission in order to drive it. If I turn the vehicle off for a minute it will let me reset it to automatic, but then will switch back over to manual. Just wondering if the fuel leak pump that has been recalled is causing this problem.
Dealer (Audi of palo alto) has failed to notify us of this safety recall or make arrangements to fix it.
The panoramic sunroof suddenly shattered when drove on the highway I-15 at the speed around 75mph. There was no other cars around me when this happened, and we didn't use any heater or a/c at that time, all windows were closed. There is no sign of glass exploding prior to the failure. If the shade is not closed, the exploded sunroof glass will splash in the car cabin, causing injury for all passengers. Also, the shattered broken glass will hit the vehicles behind my car in a high speed. I have visited the Audi dealer, but they have no explanations about why this happen, they didn't exam the defect glass yet.
Recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available. The passenger occupant detection system (pods) may detect a malfunction and switch off the passenger airbag even though the seat may be occupied. I have been waiting for the recall on my vehicle to be fixed since 03/22/2021. It has been 6months and the manufacture still doesn't have a remedy to fix my vehicle. I can't sale my vehicle or even rent it out because of the recall.
