My 6 week old audi a6 was totaled when I was driving 20 MPH! I looked down to check my odometer, and within that time, no warning signals , brakes, etc. Alerted me! This car had all the bells and whistles! That morning I was on a tree lined drive to the tennis courts! No alerts! Hit a tree and all air bags deployed! Tremendous impact for 20 MPH! I was all banged up, car totaled! I am still in disbelief...thought I had the world's safest car. Has anyone else had a problem???
Audi westmont leased me a brand new 2019 a6 last november 12, 2018. They claim "all" of audi's 2019 a6's come with "summer tires" on them and getting an "all season" or "winter" tire is not possible unless I pay another $2,690.83 for four more "wheels and winter tires". I drove the vehicle for two months on their "summer tires" bridgestone turanza t005 summer tires. On two separate occasions with less than one inch of snow on the ground, I totally lost control of the car while braking.
August 25, 2020 traveling wb on I-90 [mass turnpike] passing and 18 wheel tractor trailer with an unmarked white box trailer. Truck 'weaved' to the left into my driving lane as I was overtaking it. I swerved to the left to avoid contact of my 2019 audi a6 premium plus at about the a pillar and the rear wheel area of the box trailer.
