Audi baton rouge informed me there is a problem with coolant migration at coolant tank connector (coolant could leak into wire harness) and cause severe damage to electrical system want $300 +_ to repair. Since this is not something caused under normal conditions or negligence on my part I do not feel I should be responsible for cost of repair, should be a recall on audi

Audi a3 quattro 2016 malfunction indicator lamp (mil) came on whilst driving slowly in traffic. I believe the version of the ECM in my vehicle is defective and may be related to "safety recall 24df": cross referencing "application for emissions certification 2016 model year" "test group: gvgav02.0apa", in particular page 79 for my engine code "cntc" which lists software id "5g0906259l": https://iaspub.epa.gov/otaqpub/display_file.jsp?docid=43249&flag=1 the ecu part number was superseded without being properly released for edir or cal id and cvn information. Please note the difference in part number suffix. "b" vs "l". I am concerned that my car is currently dangerous to drive and needs repairing. Below is output from vcds diagnostic tool showing the fault and ecu software id "5g0 906 259 d" 0001 (full output can be provided): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- address 01: engine (j623-cntc) labels:. 06k-907-425-v1.clb part no sw: 5g0 906 259 d hw: 06k 907 425 b component: 2.0l r4 tfsi h13 0001 revision: --h13--- coding: 0a1d00124426000f2000 shop #: wsc 06385 790 00016 asam dataset: ev_ecm20tfs0205g0906259d 001002 rod: ev_ecm20tfs0205g0906259d.rod vcid: 2f3b1884879b11d3269-807a 1 fault found: 15059 - fuel rail/system pressure p0087 00 [104] - too low intermittent - confirmed - tested since memory clear freeze frame: fault status: 00000001 fault priority: 2 fault frequency: 2 mileage: 119924 km date: 2021.03.17 time: 12:39:23
Took my car in a few weeks ago for a recall repair affecting the passenger airbag. The airbag was not able to sense when there was a passenger in the vehicle, and would randomly turn on/off even when there was a passenger in the vehicle. Had the error messages pop immediately on the way home from the dealer after their "fix". I took it back in today and they dealer said it was the actual pods sensor and it would cost $1,100 to repair! This was because the recall repair only included that wire connection. I drive my younger brother to school every day and do not think it's fair that audi's recall only fixed half the problem - now there's no way to tell if the airbag is working properly and if my brother or any other passenger is safe in the car.
Check engine light cuts on with overheating and eps error when starting car sometimes. When you shut off car it cuts off and returns to normal. It started last year and has continued, I was told it may be a sensor shortage.
An improper electrical contact may cause the passenger occupant detection system (pods) to falsely detect a malfunction and deactivate the passenger air bag. The dealership will say they fixed it but shortly after the passenger airbag and seatbelt sign goes off again beeping and advising you the passenger seatbelt is not on. When you have no passenger.this is a safety hazard and the dealership cannot fix the issue. They are incompetent and do not care about the safety of the vehicle drivers. If it is saying the airbag is off what will happen if there is an accident and the airbag doesn't go off due to this recall. This is negligence on the dealership/automaker.
Vehicle was garaged and functioning under normal conditions. Appx. 64000 miles. When the car was turned on and put in reverse, the rearview camera's view was moderately visible, but garbled past any useful view. This did appear to happen after the trunk was simply opened and shut before getting in the car, although that should hardly affect the ability for the camera to work or not. The next time I started the car, I did not open the trunk, and the problem persisted. The time after that, I opened the trunk and shut it and it went away. Then it came back. This has been going on for over 2 months now and would appreciate some resolution. Too early for simple electronics like a camera to be breaking, however, checking other audi vehicles tsbs indicates this problem is commonplace and repair work has been prescribed in the past to replace the wiring harness and/or the camera. If the camera is not working properly, it could create an unsafe situation while driving in reverse that the use of the camera is supposed to prevent - I.e. A crash or accident with a pedestrian.
