Description of the problem | On july 2, 2020 i was in a city street sitting at a stop light waiting for it to turn green when all of a sudden the steering wheel, driver side seat and the driver side curtain airbags deployed hitting me. I was in a state of shock since i was not moving or had not been hit. I had to move the car over into a parking lot. The horn was honking and would not stop so i had to take out fuse. I did not know what to do so i called a family friend to come help tow the car back to my house since i was not far from it. Then on july 5, 2020 i received a post card in the mail from audi dealership saying there was a urgent airbag safety recall. So on july 6, 2020 i contacted the dealership and explained what had happened and left my information. I have not heard anything back from them since. I have not driven the car it had been sitting in driveway since this happened. |
