TAKATA RECALL: THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO COMPLAINT NO. 10939120 I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND OPERATED IN FLORIDA FROM APPROXIMATELY 3/15/2010 UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 8/15/2012. IT WAS, THEREFORE EXPOSED TO TYPE A HEAT AND HUMIDITY DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS SUCH EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS NOW OPERATED IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLANT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED IN FLORIDA CANNOT BE RULED OUT. *TR

I HAVE A 2016 AUDI Q5 AND RECENTLY WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS SINGLE-CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND MOVED MY FOOT TO BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD OVER A COUPLE OF BOULDERS THROUGH THE TREES FLIPPING ONCE AND ROLLING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. I, MIRACULOUSLY, CAME OUT OF THE INCIDENT UNSCATHED. THREE WEEKS EARLIER MY BROTHER-IN-LAW BORROWED MY CAR AND SAID I SHOULD HAVE THE CAR CHECKED BECAUSE IT SURGED FORWARD ON HIM ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN HE WENT TO BRAKE. I DISMISSED HIS COMMENTS, THINKING HE WAS NOT USED TO MY CAR. TURNS OUT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A CONNECTION TO BOTH OF OUR EXPERIENCES AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI CORPORATE, BUT WANTED TO REGISTER THIS INCIDENT.

ON AUGUST 11, 2016 I PURCHASED FROM AUDI TYSONS CORNER, LOCATED AT 8545 LEESBURG PIKE, VIENNA, VA 22182, A 2016 AUDI QUATTRO FOR $42,040.00 [EXHIBIT F]. I TRADED IN MY 2007 BMW X3 [EXHIBIT I] FOR $5,000 (I SIGNED THE TITLE OVER TO AUDI TYSONS CORNER ON SAME DATE) WITH A REMAINING BALANCE FOR THE AUDI TO BE PAID IN CASH $39,425.92; WHICH I PAID IN FULL BY PERSONAL CHECK ON SAME DATE [EXHIBIT E]. THE AUDI HAD 10,376 MILES ON IT AT TIME OF PURCHASE [EXHIBIT H] AND LO JACK [EXHIBIT G]. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE TITLE TO THE VEHICLE FROM AUDI TYSONS CORNER. EACH TIME I HAVE ASKED THE MANAGER, [XXX], WHEN I WILL RECEIVE MY TITLE FOR THE 'PAID IN FULL' VEHICLE I KEEP GETTING A DIFFERENT DATE / RUN AROUND. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM EXHIBITS A THRU C THAT ARE ATTACHED. I AM REACHING OUT TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE ON OBTAINING MY TITLE FROM AUDI TYSONS CORNER, AND REQUESTING THAT A FULL INVESTIGATION BE CONDUCTED REGARDING THE DEALERSHIP, BUSINESS PRACTICES AND SALES PRACTICES OF AUDI TYSONS CORNER. ON OCTOBER 13TH AT APPROXIMATELY 5:15PM I LEFT A VM FOR THE GENERAL MANAGER OF AUDI TYSONS CORNER, [XXX], REGARDING THE ISSUE OF NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE TITLE TO THE CAR I HAVE PAID IN FULL FOR AND REQUESTING HIM TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER FOR ME. I INFORMED [XXX] THAT I WOULD BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA AND THE DOJ. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM [XXX]. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED FOR YOUR REFERENCE THE FOLLOWING: EXHIBIT D: COPY OF CREDIT SCORE FOR VIRGINIA CORNELL ' EXCELLENT RATING; EXHIBIT J: COPY OF RECEIPT FOR MONEY PAID FOR TRANSFER OF LICENSE PLATES; AND EXHIBIT K: COPY OF 'WE OWE' OF MISSING CARGO COVER AT TIME OF PURCHASE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SIDE MIRRORS TOTALLY BLOCK VISION AT CERTAIN ANGLES. I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A DOWNTOWN STREET. LIGHT CHANGED AND I MADE A LEFT TURN AND CRASHED RIGHT INTO A CAR THAT WAS TOTALLY BLOCKED FROM VIEW BY THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR. IT SEEMS I WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LANE LINE, WHICH I COULDN'T SEE EITHER UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO CRAWL OUT OF MY CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS BEING UNABLE TO SEE LANE LINES AND ON COMING CARS HAS BEEN A CONTINUAL PROBLEM FOR ME, PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WAS OVER $10,000. I AM CERTAIN I WAS GOING UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR BECAUSE I WAS ONLY GOING TO TRAVEL ONE BLOCK FROM WHERE I WAS TURNING. THE CAR I HIT WAS DRIVABLE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED.

"TAKATA RECALL" AND VISIBILITY I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 6/30 DRIVING 2016 AUDI Q5 TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. BEFORE MAKING THE TURN I ENSURED NO ONE WAS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS I HAD A SOLID GREEN LIGHT. WHEN I WAS HALF WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THEN SUDDENLY A CAR FROM NO WHERE CAME AND HIT MY CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IN A SPEED OF AT LEAST 45 MPH. MY CAR WAS DRAGGED FOR SEVERAL METERS AND FINALLY STOPPED ON THE SIDEWALK AND THE FRONT PART IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH MY FRONT LIGHTS AND HOOD ARE TOTALLY DAMAGED.

THE MIRRORS ON MY AUDI Q5 ARE TOO HIGH AND BIG. THEY COMPLETELY OBSTRUCT MY VIEW WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. I EITHER HAVE TO LOOK BELOW OR ABOVE THEM SOMEHOW TO SEE. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 02/11/2016. I STOPPED AT 4 WAY STOP AND MADE A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN, AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT. I HIT A SMALL SPORTS CAR THAT WAS COMPLETELY BLOCKED FROM MY VIEW. DID NOT SEE THE CAR UNTIL HE WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. AT THAT POINT IT WAS TOO LATE TO BRAKE AND I HIT HIM. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR COMPLETELY BLOCKED THE CAR FROM BEING SEEN. THIS COULD BE MUCH WORSE AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSSWALK. AUDI NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT.
