NHTSA Complaint #10450196 — 2007 AUDI A4

PURCHASED CAR FROM ELK GROVE AUDI AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE. THE SEAT BROKE AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH ONE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME ALSO STOPPED. A CHEVY TAHOE DOING APPROX 45 MPH HIT ME FROM BEHIND, SHE MOVED OVER AT THE LAST MINUTE SO SHE DID NOT HIT ME COMPLETELY FROM THE REAR, SHE ENDED UP HITTING THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE AND THEN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS PUSHED INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. ONE OF THE OFFICERS ASKED IF WE HAD PURCHASED THE CAR USED SINCE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR WAS TOTALLED - DURING THE PROCESS OF THE SETTLEMENT ON THE CAR THE INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED US THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE. WHEN WE WENT BACK TO AUDI ABOUT IT, THEY CLAIM THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PREVIOUS ACCIDENT. THE REASON WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS BECAUSE THE MILEAGE ON THE ACCIDENT CLAIM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ONE OF THE SERVICE VISIT TO AUDI 5 DAYS AFTER THE CLAIM. *TR
