MY AUDI A4 SPUTTERED AND LOST POWER. THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED. AUDI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOWED MY CAR TO BROOKLINE AUDI, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE IGNITION COILS WERE TO BLAME. AFTER READING ARTICLES INDICATING THAT AUDI WILL REPLACE ALL COILS, WHETHER THEY ARE BROKEN OR NOT, I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE ALL COILS. THEY INSISTED THAT THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THOSE THAT ARE DEFECTIVE, NOT ALL AS REPORTED IN SEVERAL ARTICLES (E.G., MOTORTREND). I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WILL BE DRIVING FROM MA TO CA THIS WEEKEND. I TOLD THEM THAT I DO NOT WANT TO BE HALF WAY ACCROSS THE COUNTRY AND HAVE ANOTHER COIL BREAK. I WANT ALL COILS REPLACED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2000-2001 Audi TT Coupe, TT Roadster, 2000-2002 A4, and S4 vehicles equipped with Non-Azide Driver Air Bag Inflators (NADI) that do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, possibly causing the air bag to deploy improperly in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the air bag may not properly protect the occupant, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the driver frontal airbag inflator with an alternative inflator, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 2, 2021. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 69CJ.
