Reported: 1997-10-06 (October 6, 1997)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. SOME AIR BAG SENSORS DO NOT COMPLY WITH AUDI'S DURABILITY STANDARDS OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AIR BAG SENSOR CONTROL MODULE.

NHTSA campaign record ↗

Reported: 1998-12-23 (December 23, 1998)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH V6 ENGINES. AN INTERNAL SEAL OF THE FUEL INJECTOR CAN MALFUNCTION, ALLOWING FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

RADIATOR FAN RUNS CONSTANTLY, AND CAR OVERHEATS. I INSPECTED THE CAR 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND DISCOVERED THAT ALL FUSES REGARDING THE RADIATOR FAN WERE PULLED IN ORDER TO KEEP IT FROM RUNNING CONSTANTLY. THE REAR DOORS DO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE TRUNK DOES NOT UNLOCK EITHER. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY.
