1 Warning Light On problem of the 2012 Audi A6

Failure Date: 02/05/2019

Takata recal. . . . This was taken to dealer in 2015 for the recall and fixed. Recently the air bag warning light came on and remained on. I took it to the dealer and was told the recall was for the ocd, not the module. . . . They found a "faulty control module". The module is part of the abs system. The abs module and the airbag control model communicate together. I believe this should be a part of the recall on the airbag system. The module has been reset for now. . . . . To replace. . . . . That part costs $1456. 00.

4 Warning Light On problem of the 2008 Audi A6

My 2008 Audi A6 avant has had an air bag warning light appear 3 times in 2 years. Each time it gives error codes for it's center, rear seat belt. I was told that this means that the restraint may not work effectively in the event of a crash or abrupt stop. It has happened at 12,983 miles, at 29,000 miles and now at 39,000 miles. Nobody should use it until it is fixed. 1st time Audi did gff test steps and cleared code, second time they replaced the seat belt itself. Now they believe it to be an electrical system issue.
