Is My Audi a Lemon
The Audi Lemon Law process begins with assessing whether or not you are the owner of a lemon vehicle. This can be done by following a few crucial guidelines to make sure the Audi Lemon Law or Buyback program criteria is met. First of all, the Audi must be under the manufacturer’s warranty. This condition applies to purchased, leased, new, and used vehicles. Secondly, the defect must pose a risk to the vehicle’s occupants or other drivers on the road OR the defect diminish the vehicle’s value. An Audi Lemon Law claim must meet one of the two parameters. Finally, you must have already given the manufacturer a reasonable amount of attempts to properly repair the mechanical issue. Once these criteria have been established, the Audi Lemon Law process can be initiated.

Many car owners are familiar with Audi’s airbag issues and some have written complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to share their frustration. One consumer’s complaint to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration read:
Airbag warning light came on. Dealer said passenger seat occupancy sensor must be replaced, at cost of $1500-3000 since it’s 5 months past my warranty. Numerous Audi models from 2012 onward have a recall for this sensor, but not my 2011 model (yet). Other automakers have extended their warranty for this safety-critical part — BMW to 15 years, for example. Technicians could not tell me if the sensor error means all airbags are disabled, passenger airbag only is disabled, or passenger airbag is always-on (dangerous for children). https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls
