My daughter and her friend got out of the car and upon closing the door the airbags activated, seatbelt retracted and the car has been disabled. Has this happened to anyone else? Since Saturday we have been on the phone to Audi UK and the Audi garage that we purchased the car from; they have been less than understanding. I am appalled that Audi have not taken this matter seriously at all. Fortunately, other than bruising and scald marks to my shoulder and neck where the seatbelt pulled me back no one else was hurt. However, please be warned that this could be a manufacturing fault and if my daughter had still been in the passenger seat whilst her friend got out of the car this could have resulted in a serious injury. I am now without a car and getting increasingly frustrated by a lack of response. If l go through my insurance l will end up out of pocket which seems wholly unfair when the car has not been involved in an accident of any kind. Nor this should be down to any wear and tear, in fact the car has just had a new timing belt fitted by the Audi dealer at which time they also carried out a routine safety check!!!! Any advise would be most appreciated and if you could share this information with others so that it doesn't happen to anybody else that would be great.
