| 2001 | AIR BAGS | WHILE DRIVING IN VERY COLD SNOWY WEATHER MY AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHED THEN STAYED ON. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND HAS NOT REOCCURRED DURING WARMER MONTHS. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR THE LIGHT WENT OFF. ACCORDING TO THE DRIVERS MANUAL THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH LIGHT ON. ACCORDING TO ODI 756137 WITH SAME SYMPTOMS INDICATES NO AIRBAG WILL FUNCTION EVEN WITH AIRBAG LIGHT OUT AFTER THE INTERMITTENT LIGHT FLASHING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT REPLACE ANYTHING. DEALER TOLD ME UNLESS THERE IS A SOLID FAILURE OR THEY CAN DUPLICATE IT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN GETTING RUN AROUND. CALLED AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE (REF# 40192796), BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. *AK |
