2013 Audi A6 owner complaints

Takata recall - my Audi dealership still does not have the parts to repair this defect. It's been five months. This is unacceptable.

Takata recall. While stationary, & still in park, with an adult in the front passenger seat, the airbag monitoring light comes on to alert me that the passenger seat airbag is "off". Safety recall notice recd. July 2018. I have not been able to use the front passenger seat since then due to safety reasons. Audi usa still tells me today, 4 months later, that they have no solution for this issue, & no expected date to fix this problem.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2013 Audi a6. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated and remained lit for months. Audi chandler (7460 w orchid ln, chandler, az 85226, (480) 470-7367) inspected the vehicle and provided a diagnostic invoice with a cost estimate, but had not specified a part name and part number. The dealer made no mention of any recalls issued for this year, make, and model vehicle pertaining to the air bags. The vehicle was later included in NHTSA campaign number: 18v370000 (air bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was entering my garage and the car kept accelerating. I slammed into any front wall doing lots of damage to the structures in and out as well as to my body. My car was totaled. My first accident ever and the scariest moment of my life. I have had prior acceleration/deceleration issues with this car. On at least 6 occasions, I was going downhill approaching a stop sign and the car seemed to stop responding (steering, braking, engine) and yet the RPM's were gong higher and the engine was racing. Very frightening since you did not know what would happen next!!! *tr

Air bag light is on and pods system fails to detect a passenger. Dealer did not fix this problem. No parts available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 Audi a6. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag sensor periodically disengaged and the air bag warning indicator dimmed when the passenger seat was occupied. The vehicle was taken to Audi shrewsbury (780 boston turnpike, shrewsbury, ma 01545, phone number: (888) 699-9619) where it was diagnosed that the front passenger seat needed to be removed to install a new seat sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that the contact would have to pay out of pocket for the repair. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I was tiring to trade my Audi a6 2013 in on another vehicle. I learned from a dealer that there was a recall #74d1 pods system on my Audi. To my knowledge I have not received a notice from the manufacturer nor has there been a fix offered or available. No accident has happened to me, my podsystem seems to work fine for now, however the value of my vehicle is much lower and I' m unable to trade this car.

It was recently began to leak fuel from the top of the engine close to the windshield. Then the whole cabin specially in the front where the steering wheel began to have bad vibration during reversed, and idle, also when the ac is on. Then theres the airbag for the passenger, the light is on, it used to say '"off" then when the seat is used it will shut off. Now it just stays on. Last is the ac compressor seems to be rattling like a bolt is loose. All the recalls have been happening with my Audi and still my VIN is not included.

Car is leaking & burning oil and is having electrical problems open short to ground I only had the car 2 months the fuel system is malfunctioning my engine light & my epic light is on smoke is coming coming from the engine & the engine is shaking roughly & these are some of the recalls but there saying the recalls have already been taking car of but seems like the problem is reoccurring. I was idled in a parking lot when this problem started. I feel like this is a safety issue and my car could possibly catch fire.

My car was stationary and oil is leaking from the engine my fuel system is messing up. Also I'm having electrical problems cylinder 1 misfire open ground or short to ground circuit .

Issues with electrical cables more than once, also fuel exhaust issue and cooling system. Vehicle stationary and or driving under 50 miles.

When I was driving, we smelled burning of rubber but thought that it must be from outside. However after driving of another 3-4 miles, suddenly smoke started to come out from air vent mainly on driver and windshield side inside of cabin. I stopped car and turned off. I took it to nearby garage and they checked any leakage of fluid that can cause burning but can't find it which indicates that problem of short circuit and may need to research more. In the night, when I tried to turn cabin lights on, it didn't work which now clearly shows that it's incident of short circuit that cause inside lights dome, reading and other lights off. I was lucky that it didn't caught fire and burned down my car. However this needs to be investigated. I will appointment with dealer and see if I can get picture

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 Audi a6. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 18v229000 (engine and engine cooling). The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Audi shrewsbury (780 boston turnpike, shrewsbury, ma 01545, (508) 581-5800) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Vehicle began shaking, driving very rough and check engine light came and epc lights came on the dash. Car was not drivable. This happened less than two months after I had the water pump replaced for leakage and failure (which has now been recalled). I believe the two are connected, but Audi charged me a to replace the engine. I feel that the engine failure was a direct link to the issue with the pump.

Start smelling gasoline and every day was worse. I bring the a6 for the recall but I just realize that Audi did the 20ar but I remember prior to this recall the car had the 24bz . I tried to call them and my vim soes noy show for this recall . The a6 is with Audi livermore they want me to pay to unmount the gas tank to procedure with a diagnostic. I just know that my car is leaking gas and no response that why tgis happend the car or the tank hasn't received a damaged at all so how this happend . Other option that Audi want is charge 3500 for fix and they pay the 20% wich its not right . Why this Audi a6 2013 3.0 doesn't match like the other a6 for the recall repair u can look video and photos on this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sbq6uf4l11hi6bo/aadhnwhal8xkvqpldvhmlj8ua?dl=0

I start getting coolant leak and it was at Audi dealership. Nothing was done just today get biger leak and took to shop and they say my water pump is broken. I think this is part of Audi A6 2013 water oump problems. Need to fix it

When the turn signal is activated to go RIGHT, the turn indicator flashes LEFT (both the arrow on the instrument panel and the exterior lights). Since the driver is not consciously looking at the dash, this causes an unexpected lane change and dangerous (and illegal) lane change. There are no warning lights that there is an error/problem. This is an intermittent but frequent problem and replicable. I have not taken the issue to the dealer but research suggests that the turn signal stalk must be replaced. Searching online, I see that other Audi A6, for various years, have this problem. I also recently learned that Hyundai vehicles were recalled for this same issue. Hopefully you can look into it to see. Thank you.

Vacuum pump oil leak (06j145100g). 76k mi, found via multi point inspection on 10/25/18 (Audi of honolulu). Vehicle prod date: 07/2012, engine code: caeb, transmission: 0bk, quattro AWD. The vacuum pump, located at the rear of the engine is leaking motor oil. Either the internal seals of the pump or gasket is faulty. Motor oil is leaking onto the exhaust, transmission, firewall insulation, engine belly pan, transmission mounts/crossmember, transmission belly pan, and lower rear of engine. Under moderate braking, white smoke would appear from under the hood (pressure forcing the oil through the pump seals, which then leaked onto the exhaust.) braking power is sometimes diminished due to lack of vacuum power to brake booster (air leak). After shutting off engine (after normal driving

I own a 2013 Audi a6 around 77k miles. I got the CEL and brought it to the dealer. There is an internal transmission coolant value that is part of the cooling system and obviously, that component also helps keep the transmission temperature in check. The issue with this defective part is the valve malfunctions causing coolant to penetrate the transmission control module and from there into the wiring harness. When this happens, it is a catastrophic malfunction of those components and a potential fire hazard. Water and electrical do not mix well.
