Structure: body: trunk lid
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles, the automatic rear lid includes an electric motor and clutch that work in conjunction with two gas struts to open and close the rear lid, including a manual close function. If one of the struts has a total loss of pressure, the resultant slow movement of the rear lid is interpreted by the software as an intended manual close and the motor clutch releases to close the rear lid immediately.
- Risk
- This can result in an unintended rapid closing of the rear lid with a risk of personal injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install new software free of charge. The recall began on september 14, 2007. Owners may contact audi at 1‑800‑822‑2834.

Camshaft chain tensioner
Numerous calls have been made to both the audi USA number as wells to audi honolulu @ 808‑206‑7404. They insist that they will not install the replacement airbag unless I pay $820.00 each way to ship my vehicle to honolulu to have said repair made. I did not have anything to do with the airbag being defective in my audi and do not think its fair that to fix this problem, I have t pay $1,640.00 plus the time without my vehicle to have this recall completed

Takata recall since this recall notified us at the beginning of 2017, we have not heard much about getting this issue rectified. It is ridiculous that this is acceptable considering the risk that may come about. This is my wife's car.
