2005 Audi A6 has water damage. Some how over night heavy rain seepage left an inch of water behind driver seat. Car was parked in driveway. All windows and doors where closed. This has caused $10,000. 00 electrical damage to modules located under front passenger seat. These modules alert me about esp/abs and park brake as well as a module that powers the vehicles mmi/navigation and stereo system. None of these function any longer. Insurance company wants to totaled the vehicle,I spent $7000. 00 already on repairing the vehicle. Don't know where the water entered my vehicle. Is Audi responsible? this appears to be a design flaw.
During a recent rain storm I went to start the car to discover 6 inches of water in the back seat. Rear airbag and some electrical system had been fried. When I contacted Audi they said that it was not a warranty issue that it was my fault. That a line under the battery compartment had been clogged by pine needles causing the water to flow into the car through the airconditioning system. It seems to me that this is a design flaw and should be covered by Audi.
2005 Audi A6 air bags are too short and can not protect passenger. Consumer was taking to the hospital for x-rays. The consumer stated the air bag only protected the top six inches of the window and as a result, her head hit the front passenger door window during the accident.
