1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2020

When a person or item is in the front passenger seat there will be an intermittent error and the passenger side airbag will disable. It doesn't happen every time but as time goes on it happens more often. . I've contacted 'Audi chattanooga' about the issue and they say a recall to fix said problem has already been completed yet the problem persists.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

The passenger side air bag is permanently disable, even when a passenger is seated on it- it appears the sensor under the seat does is not working properly. This is critical malfunction as the passenger will not be protected in a collision case. Additionally, the seatbelt light comes on to fasten seatbelt even when no one is sat on that seat and won't go away until the belt is fasten. I have been waiting for Audi to include my vehicle in the current national recall to fix that problem.
