Without cause a passenger airbag malfunction light has come up, dealership says this is not covered under recall or vehicle warranty.
I first received notice of this recall in 1/22. My Audi dealer has continuously stated that Audi does not send them enough kits to remedy this recall.
After dealership did the second repair to the airbag recall, the airbag light came on and has been on solid . When taking the car back to the dealership to have it fixed ,we were clear about the whole thing over the phone . The dealership proceeded to charge me for a diagnostic test as well as claiming to not have seen any recalls on the car . Dealership claimed the whole airbag needed to be replaced yet the car has never been in an accident. Bottom line the initial recall isn’t finished . Dealership explained car would be safe to drive , even tho the safety system is currently malfunctioning .
The vehicle is subject to a passenger occupant detection system / pods safety recall involving the front passenger seat occupant-detection system and passenger airbag status. The concern is that the system may incorrectly detect whether a passenger is seated and may switch off or affect the front passenger airbag when the seat is occupied. This is being reported because the recall remedy was not completed, was delayed, was not properly resolved, or the concern remains unresolved. A malfunctioning passenger occupant detection system can affect whether the passenger airbag deploys as intended in a crash. The issue involves the airbag system, front passenger seat occupant detection, related sensors/modules, and related electrical components. No crash, fire, injury, or fatality occurred. The vehicle/component is available for inspection, and Audi recall documents, service records, communications, and any warning-light or passenger-airbag-status evidence are available if requested.
