general problems of the 2015 Audi A3 - part 2

With an something in the passenger seat a warning message says that because of a malfunction, the airbags are turned off. A few seconds to a minute or two later another message says the airbags are on. This sequence can appear many times in an hour of driving or not appear at all for several days. This appears to be the exact same issue as reported and recalled for certain 2018 Audi s5 and a5 vehicles along with some 2017-2018 a4s. I've noticed this happening when the car is in motion. I thought that I had the original airbag issue fixed when it was taken to be services for the recall of faulty wiring underneath the passenger seat, but Audi in cary north carolina said that this is a separate issue and not covered under the former recal.

For the last 4 days I have had someone get into my passenger seat and randomly while I'm driving and the car is in motion the airbag signal states � passenger airbag off� it flashes to notify me it has turned of. I completed research and found their is a recall on Audi vehicles for this complaint but only 2016 and a few other years. I believe this recall needs to be extended to 2015 as well.

Audi passenger occupant system consistently faults effectively disabling the passenger airbag. This issue occurs mostly while a passenger is in the seat, but from time to time will occur when no passenger is present. It occurs while stationary and in motion during normal day to day driving. I have had the pods recall performed on the vehicle back in September 2019, which has made the issue worse.

There has been previous recall for the passenger seat occupation sensor in 2019, asking for a connector to be replaced. Approximately 3 months after the connector was replaced in late 2019, the airbag warning light in the dashboard turned on. That was approximately in March or April of 2020. The car was only lightly used during 2020 and the latest recall had not been issued. In early 2021, a letter with recall information arrived and stated that I shall not use the car with the passenger seat occupied if the warning light was on. I contacted Audi service in may 2021 and was told that no parts were available to repair - about a month ago I received another letter repeating the warning and stating that parts were available. I tried to arrange an appointment but was again told, no parts were available and the earliest appointment would be available in may. As of now, the airbag warning light is on, the airbag indicator says “airbag has been disabled” and the diagnostic readout reports “sensor resistance too high".

"pods recall" we took our car in for inspection and we were told that the electrical system to the air bag needs to be beefed up because without the right wiring connection it will cause serious problem if accident occurs. This hasn't hit the recall list yet but it's coming. If the manufacturer knows that it's going to be an issue why cant they just go ahead and fix the recall before hand. They are wanting us to pay $1100 dollars to fix an issue that is soon to be an up and coming recall, based on what I have been reading from the manufacturer itself. What does it take for this recall to go into the works, many deaths or even a lawsuit because they didn't want to fix problem before hand. I know many of these money companies are trying to save a dollar but is it worth the cost of a loved one just to save a buck. We are all trying to save a buck I get it, but this is the companies reputation on the line. You make a product you should want people to feel and be safe. If consumers know you put out a good product and your continuously are trying to improve your product people will stand by you. It shouldnt get to the point of people losing a life or getting seriously injured to fix a issue you could avoid.

There is a recall on our daughters Audi A3 that we have been trying to have fixed for over 2 years. We call, we follow up and are consistently told there is no fix for the problem. The letters we continue to receive say it is about 4 hours of work on the pods system. I am tired of our college daughter paying for a known unsafe vehicle and am reaching out as we have exhausted all possibilities with Audi USA.

I purchased this vehicle in germany back in September 2020. It’s a us spec Audi that has the passenger air bag floor sensor recall that I can’t seem to get fixed by the german Audi dealership. How can I get this recall fixed in case I sell the car or want to ship it back stateside. They won’t ship a car with a potential safety recall outstanding.
