Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my 1999 audi a6 on the expressway with my 3 year old son in his booster seat, the driver side of the dashboard starts to smoke . then in less than a minute flames were coming out, by the time i was able to pull over, my dashboard was completely on fire,while taking my son out the airbag blew, scaring him even more, and not to mention all the toxic fumes we inhaled. the insurance tells me the car is a total loss, and if that airbag was activated while i was still driving, it could have been fatal. *jb |
