NHTSA Complaint #11152138 — 2017 AUDI A6

I AM WRITING WITH RESPECT TO RECALL REPORT 18V370, POSSIBLE FAILURE OF FRONT PASSENGER SEAT PODS SENSING SYSTEM. AUDI NOTIFIED ME OF THIS DEFECT IN JULY 2018 AND STILL HAS NOT PRODUCED A SOLUTION FOR THE RECALL. BECAUSE OF THE UNPREDICTABILITY AS TO WHEN OR WHETHER THE PODS SENSING SYSTEM MIGHT FAIL (INCLUDING IMMEDIATELY BEFORE IMPACT), I CAN'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE AFFECTED SEAT. I BELIEVE AUDI IS BEING DELINQUENT IN ITS OBLIGATION TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WOULD BE NO SOLUTION UNTIL AT LEAST 2019. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSING CONSUMER HARM AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. THEY SHOULD BE PRECLUDED FROM PRODUCING ANY NEW VEHICLES WITH THE CORRECTED PART UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY REPAIR EVERY AFFECTED EXISTING VEHICLE.
