general problems of the 2012 Audi Q5 - part 1

I had an accident on 4/15/2024. I blacked out and ran into an oak tree but none of my airbags deployed.

This 2012 Audi Q5 has an apparent bad passenger occupant sensor connection that could deactivate the vehicle's passenger-side airbags and increase the risk of injury or death in the event of a crash. It appears the problem specifically stems from a faulty connection between the passenger seat occupancy sensor and the seat heater wiring, which can cause the vehicle's computer to assume that there is no passenger present and defeat the airbag on that side. This system is typically meant to reduce the cost of repairs in a crash by not detonating unneeded airbags. Audi recently announced recall number 74e3 to fix other models with the same issue.

On the dash, the airbag warning light is on. Something is wrong about the airbag.

Tamara recall. My dealer, Audi of stratham nh keeps sending me cards to have the airbag replaced. I made an appointment a month ago and when I arrived was told they didn't have it. Made another appointment for today, 1/4/19, on the basis of being told that they had it in hand. When I called today they didn�t. They blame it on Audi, say they are only the dealership. I must have received 15 or more notices from the dealership to have the airbag replaced. I have been driving an unsafe car for 2 years.

I am a military service member assigned in stuttgart, germany. My vehicle was shipped here in December 2017, at that time there were no open recalls. Now my vehicle is affected by the takata airbag recall. Below is what I sent Audi of America as well as their response. Please assist in resolving this matter because Audi of USA did not provide a viable, safe solution. Thank you my vehicle is in stuttgart, germany and was shipped as part of my military work directed move in October 2017. � this vehicle has an open takata airbag recall and yesterday I visited a local german dealership who informed me they would not assist with inspecting my car or replacing an airbag if needed. � could you please and urgently let me know how I can resolve this recall issue while my vehicle is in stuttgart, germany? I am very disappointed that a local dealership would not assist considering the risk posed to the driver and other drivers/pedestrians if this airbag issue is not resolved in a timely manner. � I also have concerns continuing to drive the vehicle to work if there is an open recall item issued.

Takata recall: we have now received 4 or 5 letters over the past 9 months informing us of the recall and telling us our life may be in danger and to contact our dealer immediately to have the airbag replaced. When I call our dealer (peabody, MA), they inform me they do not have the part and do not know when they will. When I contacted Audi USA they indicated it is NHTSA who determines which dealers get the parts and when. If you aren't supplying the parts, don't repeatedly require Audi to send me letters telling me my life may be in danger. It's a bit like the boy who cried wolf, I no longer believe you really mean my life is in danger, because if you did, you'd ensure the part is available to fix the problem. The 2 most recent letters are attached.

Still waiting for my airbag fix.

Takata airbags - the dealership near us that services our Audi vehicles will not perform the recall work service. They claim the steering wheel was changed. They quoted us a $2500 price to replace the steering wheel and then they can do the recall work. We bought the car used. We did not change the steering wheel. The steering wheel is an Audi s line steering wheel. The car is an s line as indicated on various parts throughout the car. I went to luxury haus where we bought the car and they went out of business. I contacted Audi of America and they could not explain the issue but closed our case with no written explanation. I spoke to the person handling my case and they could not explain it to me as they were not qualified. I asked to speak to a qualified person so I can at least understand what the problem is. I never received an explanation either written or verbal over the phone. We did not change the steering wheel. The steering wheel matches the make and model of the car. The steering wheel is an Audi product. We don't understand why we need to spend $2500 to get another same steering wheel in order to get this safety recall completed. I am scared to drive the car. It is 6 years old. The dealership told us we cannot trade the car in until we address the recall. I could not try to sell it privately knowing this safety problem exists and dumping this problem onto someone else. It seems very unfair.

Takata recall - we are first-time parents and had infant twin boys. We had bought this car for more room and safety and then the recall happened. We asked our dealer repeatedly for a fix and even contacted Audi USA but they told us there was nothing they could do. We had friends and relatives with other car brands whose dealers gave them loaners or rental cars but Audi offered us nothing. Ultimately, we traded in the car because we were so worried.

Takata recall - I was made aware of the takata airbag recall via usps postal mail service in April of 2016 by Audi of America inc. Located at 3800 hamlin road, auburn hills mi 48326. Since then, I have made multiple inquiries to Audi service departments as to how long it would take for my airbag replacement. Each time I was told that as soon as the parts were available, I would be informed and asked to bring in my vehicle for service. At this point, I am experiencing anxiety when driving my vehicle and decided that I would trade it in for a new vehicle in order to feel safe while on the road. While at the farmington hills dealership, I was informed that the value of my trade-in would only be $12,000 because they are not able to resell the vehicle due to the faulty airbags. As a consequence, any vehicle that I purchase would have a $10,000 debt rolled in because of the difference between my trade-in value and the balance of my existing car loan. If someone is to experience financial damages as a result of the faulty airbags, it should be takata and not me as a consumer. I am requesting that Audi take my trade-in at its full value [not take the faulty airbags into consideration] and I am submitting this complaint in the hopes that we can arrive at a mutually beneficial outcome (where I am not responsible for the fact that the car cannot be resold) and avoid additional or further litigation.

Takata recall - this recall was started in February of 2016 yet I was never informed by Audi that my vehicle needed the air bag fixed and the Audi website states that a solution is still pending. I also have a second recall related to the fuel pump that began in September of 2016. I need to know if the vehicle can already be fixed for the takata recall and until what date I have to take it to an Audi dealer for repair.

Takata recall . I own both an Audi and a vw covered by the April 2016 recall. It's six months later and have heard absolutely nothing regarding replacement. I know that this is an enormous issue but would expect at a minimum a periodic update regarding the timeframe. Unlike the diesel issue , my life is at risk while operating these vehicles.
