I just purchased this vehicle from a private owner. I am already aware of the driver side airbag recall. Went to turn key to auxiliary to close sun roof and the steering wheel airbag deployed in my face. The vehicle had been parked and not driven for over 12 hours. Vehicle is available for inspection any time.
The contact owns a 2001 Audi A4. The contact stated that upon closing the driver's side door, her husband heard a loud gun-like sound and he noticed that the passenger-side curtain air bags had deployed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact's husband cut the curtain air bags and drove the vehicle to his residence. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000. The VIN was not available.
Airbag controller fails with no apparent reason. Unit generates an unclear fault code (65535) when temperature drops below 32 degrees. This will not allow the airbags to deploy in case of an accident. Module has been replaced, and the same failure occurred again less than a year later.
Abs is broken without any reason. T's only 2 years old but 67000 miles. Audi A4 1. 8t 2001 model.
