2013 Audi A6 Air Bags Frontal Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1002470
Internal NHTSA #	10534829
Manufacurer	Volkswagen of America, Inc.
Brand	AUDI
Model	A6
Model Year	2013
File date	11/04/13
Component	AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Had a frontal crash as i was trying to click in the safety belt while in motion. The impact was severe enough that my head went forward and cracked the windshield injuring my forehead. I lost consciousness for 30 minutes. This was a new car (115 miles) and none of the multiple airbags went off. Tried to have audi explain to me why none of the airbags went off and i got 2 nonsensical reasons (one salesperson suggested that they did not go off because the safety belt was not engaged, a customer representative related to me some mysterious angle - 30 degrees from the midline of the car- where an impact would not activate air bags (!) . I was also given a lecture regarding the safety of audi cars. I asked them to test the front accelerometers in the crashed car but they did not see any point in doing it. I have seen a recall for the curtain air bags of last year a6 model. It seems that the sensors of the 2013 a6 i was driving do not function reliably and do not guarantee the safety of the driver.
