ON 7/02/09 MY AUDI Q5 (VIN# [XXX]) WAS PURCHASED FROM, AND SERVICED BY BARRIER AUDI BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON; NOW DOING BUSINESS AS AUDI BELLEVUE A DEALERSHIP OWNED AND OPERATED BY AUTO NATION. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS [TSB] WERE SENT TO SOME AUDI OWNERS ON 12/6/2013 CONCERNING REPAIR AND CLEANING OF THE SECONDARY AIR CONTROL VALVE WITH A WARRANTY EXTENDING THROUGH 07/02/2019. THIS PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY CORRECTED ON 12/27/2013 @44,445 MILES, MY LAST SERVICE WITH BARRIER WAS 09/13/2018 AND AT NO TIME HAD I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THE PROBLEM COULD RESURFACE. THE TSB PROVIDES : "THE SECONDARY AIR SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES IS USED TO HEAT UP THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS QUICKLY DURING COLD-START CONDITIONS?. OVER TIME, AND DEPENDING ON DRIVING STYLES, CARBON WILL BUILD UP IN THESE SMALL 10MM PORTS AND CAUSE FAULTS IN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FOR SECONDARY AIR, BANK1/BANK2 INSUFFICIENT FLOW? SOME MODELS DO HAVE A WARRANTY EXTENSION, WHICH COVERS THE SECONDARY AIR PORT CLEANING UP TO 10 YEAR/110,000 MILES. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL DEALER FOR DETAILS. KEEP IN MIND, IF ANY OF THE CONTROL VALVES, COMBI VALVES, OR SUPPLY LINES ARE DAMAGED, OR FAULTY, THOSE ITEMS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE PORT CLEANING CAN BE PERFORMED." ON 10/01/ 2019, AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS DETECTED ON THE Q5 WITH APPROXIMATELY 106,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON 10/28/2019 A CLAIM [#190822437]` WAS FILED WITH AUDI USA AND DENIED AS UNTIMELY FILED. AUDI BELLEVUE CARRIED OUT REPAIRS AT MY EXPENSE FOR $ 2045.75. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO NOTICE, THE CONTINUED WARRANTY PERIOD SHOULD BE EXTENDED BY AUDI USA AND THE COSTS OF REPAIR REIMBURSED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CAR GAS A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR, EVERYDAY, ALL DAY. TOOK IT TO AUDI AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE "PROBLEM". THE CAR CAN'T BE DRIVEN. ITS CAUSING NAUSEA AND HEADACHES WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 5 MINS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT IS PRODUCING A GAS SMELL. I BELIEVE THAT GAS FLANGE RECALL CREATED MORE ISSUES TO MY CAR THAT AUDI MADE ME PAY FOR AND NEVER FIXED THE GAS SMELL.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I FIRST REQUESTED THAT AUDI OF BELLEVUE HANDLE MY AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED IN MARCH 2016 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE THE PARTS "BY THE END OF THE YEAR." I REQUESTED A LOANER CAR UNTIL IT WAS FIXED AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO A SALES MANAGER WHO DID NOT TAKE MY CALL. I LEFT A MESSAGE EXPLAINING THAT MY CAR SPENT 3 YEARS IN TEXAS AND I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE RECALL. HE NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE. WHEN I MADE MY APPOINTMENT, I AGAIN REQUESTED THE AIRBAG BE REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND, IN FACT NOBODY IN THE AREA HAD THEM. OUR HONDA WAS FIXED LAST JUNE. I RECEIVED ANOTHER "URGENT" RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL THIS WEEK, URGING ME TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED AUDI USA TO EXPLAIN THE EXPERIENCE I JUST HAD AND INQUIRE FURTHER. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE HOPING TO GET PARTS TO MY AREA BY SEPTEMBER (IT IS APRIL) AND THAT THE DECISION TO NOT MAKE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE TO MY AREA WAS BEING DIRECTED BY THE NHTSA. I EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE 3 YEARS MY CAR SPENT IN TEXAS AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE ON MY VEHICLE, BUT THE ONLY ADVICE I WAS GIVEN WAS TO KEEP CHECKING IN WITH MY DEALERSHIP.
