| The 2005-2007 audi a6 has an integrated dashboard system that controls and manages the audio, navigation, telephone and other non-safety related features. the same module controls the driver's side air-bag. i recently had the display module for the radio/navigation fail. this also caused the driver's side air bag system to fail. shouldn't safety systems in a car be on separated from the entertainment systems ? this would be similar to having your seatbelts fail if the rear seat dvd player failed, or your driving lights stop working if a vanity mirror bulb burned out....i hope you get my point. in virginia, the state i live in, all cars require an annual safety check - air bags included. the fact that a car radio can cause your airbag to fail just seems like poor planning and putting passenger safety at risk. i have observed on the various audi forums on the internet that this display module failure appears to be quite common. *tr | |||

| I bought a used 2006 audi a6 two months before the accident. i had been using the keyless option when starting and stopping the vehicle. i stopped at a library, pushed the button twice to turn off the ignition and the vehicle's electrical system. i got out of the vehicle and noticed that it was rolling forward. i attempted to stop it; i opened the driver's door and as i was getting in the door struck a trash can in the parking lot, knocking me down. the vehicle's rear wheel caught my left heel and drug me across a curb before stopping on my left foot. several men in the parking lot lifted the vehicle off my foot. i was transported to the hospital and kept for injuries to my left leg. evidently i failed to put the vehicle's transmission in p and had left it in d. cars that use a physical key to start and stop the vehicle will not allow a driver to remove the key unless the vehicle's transmission has been shifted to park. a vehicle that does not utilize a physical key, does not that built-in safety feature. five weeks later i am in physical therapy and am grateful i did not sustain more serious injuries, or that an innocent bystander was not killed by a driverless car rolling through a parking lot at a library that is frequented by children. now i am adamant about always setting the emergency brake. my concern is real: as more and more vehicles are manufactured with keyless ignition systems that contain no fail-safe feature to prevent inadvertent rolling as explained in the audi's owner's manual, i believe more injuries and deaths will be realized. in speaking with the regional representative at audi, he explained that audi publishes a book explaining the vehicle and what happened was totally my fault. my audi has a sensor in the passenger the seat that prevents an expensive airbag from deploying unnecessarily; how about a sensor in the driver's seat that prevents a vehicle from rolling when there is no driver? *tr | |||

| I have a 2006 audi a6 3.2 quattro. it has 53,215 miles on it. so 3,215 miles after warranty expires so does the ignition coil which has been recalled on almost every model year up 2005 for the last 5-6 years. but it's not on recall for my car yet. to me if they have had a known problem with these coils that they should take care of the problem or be responsible for the repairs. they said because there is no current recall there's nothing they can do, and the fact that they have had a recall for all there cars for the last 6 years means nothing... so i paid to have the coil replaced myself since there would be more damage done to the car if not corrected. *tr | |||

| My 2006 audi a6 lost all engine power while driving and the steering wheel locked up. this happened on three separate occasions. the manufacturer has refused to take the car back, despite the life threatening safety concerns associated with this problem. i have noticed other posted complaints for the same problem. *tr | |||
