I took my vehicle to repair for 2 recalls on 2/22/21, the next day 2/23/21 they called me telling me that I have to pay $ 550. 00 for the repair. According to downtown Audi tech the ecu of my vehicle is defective because they cannot communicate with the vehicle's computer, before taking the vehicle to repair the recalls it was in good condition since I changed the oil and connected my scanner to reset the maintenance message on the vehicle dashboard. This is absurd that they want to scam their customers. Now they want to give me the vehicle without repairing the recalls and with lights on on the dashboard of my vehicle, this is not ethical or professional.

Reference NHTSA campaign number 15v823000, my 2012 Audi A6 falls within the model year as well as the as build date. I've been told by my local dealer I need the new pods (passenger occupancy detection system) installed since mine is bad. My Audi has the heated seats, but not air conditioned seats as identified in the campaign, but I have the same issue as described in the recall campaign. Even though my VIN doesn't pull up as affected, the issue is exactly as the campaign referenced above, and parts required to replace are the ones mentioned in the campaign. I feel my car should be covered and Audi didn't include all VIN's needed to be recalled.
Reference NHTSA campaign number 15v823000, my Audi A6 falls within the model year as well as the as built time line. I've just been diagnosed by my local Audi dealer that my pods unit is bad. My Audi does have heated seats so it fits the problem description as released by Audi as well as NHTSA but due to the fact my VIN doesn't pull up this campaign. I believe that there are more Audi's affected within that model year as well as build time frame that could be affected by this. Even though my VIN might not pull it up if something were to happen there could be possible legal actions if the air bags didn't deploy properly.
My 2012 Audi A6 was part of safety recall 74d1. Received the recall notice and immediately scheduled, with the dealership, to bring the car in for the necessary work. The service was performed on 02/16/16. When the vehicle was returned, the passenger occupant detection system began exhibiting the problem described in the recall notice. Prior to the recall the passenger airbag system had been working properly. The dealer and and the Audi technical field manager have worked on the vehicle but cannot get it to recognize when my wife is seated in the passenger seat. The current official position of Audi is that the system is operating to manufacturer's specification and no further action will be taken. I disagree with the conclusion since the passenger occupant detection system works fine of other Audi A6 vehicles without heated and cooled seats. It appears that the design of the A6 with heated/cooled seats is fundamentally the problem. I wrote a very detailed letter to mr. Scott keogh with all of the details. I have attached that document for you review. Even after that letter the official position of Audi is that the system s working to manufacturer's specification. The bottom line is that on a daily basis when my 68 yer old wife in the passenger seat she is put at increase risk in the event of a accident that would require the airbag to deploy. I would appreciate any guidance you can provide to rectify this situation since it was part of an Audi / NHTSA safety recall.
