A woman ran a red light heading east, my husband and I were heading north, the woman t-boned us the airbags did not deploy. Audi says it was the "angle" of impact. I have police report, the collision shop, and the insurance adjuster all agree airbags should have deployed.
The above listed vehicle was in an accident with extensive damage to the vehicle. The airbag on the driver side didn't deploy, which caused major injuries to the forehead and other body parts. The vehicle sustained major front end damage and it is unknown why the airbag didn't deploy. There were no warning signs of airbag being defective or needed to be repaired.
I have an audi a4 2007. Friday, march 5 I was driving to work and the car starting revving by itself, but slowing down at the same time. I was forced to put it in neutral and coast to the side of the road. Took it to the dealer, they said it was the fuel pump, replaced it. Saturday, I was the last car on an exit ramp preparing for light to change, but when I pushed the gas, the engine revved to 5, but would not move. Car was in drive position.
