Consumer Description

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK CAR INTO AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT IS A WIRING PROBLEM AND THE FRONT SEAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. EVEN MORE SHOCKING IS THAT AUDI SELLS A REPAIR KIT FOR $60-$70 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO AUDI MAKES A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT AFFECTS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING THE CARS AND FIXING THE PROBLEM FOR FREE THEY SELL A REPAIR KIT AND PROFIT FROM THEIR NEGLIGENCE. HOPE THE GOVERNMENT WILL REMEDY THIS SITUATION. IF YOU SEARCH THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR YOU WILL SEE IT HAS A KNOWN TIMING BELT DEFECT, A KNOWN OIL PROBLEM, PLUS THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE IN OH SO MANY PARTS. HELLO NATIONAL SAFETY TRANSPORTATION BOARD- WAKE UP! *TR
