Warning Light On problem #1

Multiple warning lights come on at the same time including transmission, engine, abs, esp, air bag and tpms, while these lights are on vehicle hesitates and looses complete power, this condition happened in the middle of the highway and almost caused an accident, had to tow the vahicle home and eventually to my local Audi dealership. I found on line technical bulletin sb-10053894-9766 which describes the exact sympthoms my vehicle is having, I strogly believe this should be a recall rather then a TSB.

Air Bag problem #2

On expressway, rear-ended and pushed into car in front too, so hit on both ends and no airbags deployed in the Audi Q7. Four vehicles were involved and the other three cars all had airbags deploy. Both front passengers hit their heads. Driver has whiplash and passenger has forehead skin abrasion. The car was always serviced by Audi only and was not on the airbag recall list. It apparently should be on the list, something is defective and owners have a false sense of assumed security in this car.
