1998 Audi A4 airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer was traveling about 40mph on highway and passenger's airbag went off without prior warning. She heard a poppying noise, and was able to pull over. Airbag light went off and there was a bad smell. There was no accident, and airbag went off on its own.
After running over a pothole at 30mph passenger's side door airbag deployed. Dealer said this was normal. *ak
Passenger's airbag deployed upon impact. No passenger or parcel on passenger's seat, drivers bag did not deploy. Audi continues to deny a problem existed. Audi's own documentation describes a no passenger lock out switch to prevent deployment of the passenger's airbag when no passenger or (heavy parcel?) is present. I was the only occupant in the car, had my seat belt buckled, pretensioner for my seat belt fired but my airbag did not deploy. An interlock, by definition, is either on or off. An interlock or lock out device does not act as a "maybe on" or "maybe off" gate.
While drivingthe ABS braking systm which is activated malfunctioned, having no braking ability, and causing a frontal impact. The driver's and passenger's airbags did deploy but not all the way. Also, seatbelt tensioner malfunctioned, which did not hold properly the occupant, and occupant sustained a broken bone. Please provide further information.
Vehicle brushed curb causing damage to tire sidewalls when false deployment of side air bag occured.
