When I have a passenger riding with me the passenger airbag cuts on and off the whole time while I’m driving. This is a major safety concern especially when I have passengers all the time. I’m concerned the airbag will not deploy during an accident.

1st problem my passenger air bag will go on and off sometime while driving even though no one is sitting there. 2nd problem the weather here was -30 for about 10 days and my car stopped working one morning when I turned it on. More precisely steering did not work. When I took it to vw dealer and they had it over night for all ice to melt they said a bunch of water came out from module when they unplugged wire harnes.
Received notice some time ago about recall affecting passenger airbag. Months have passed and Audi here claims still do not have parts for recall. I also earlier filed a complaint about a short in the wiring harness disabling the driver's airbag (which I now believe is a problem with the heated seats since they were excluded from the previous recall for this problem in other models and don't understand why was not a subject for recall as well.
Passenger occupant detection system (pods) recall. My vehicle's passenger occupant detection system is currently malfunctioning and does not recognize the presence of a passenger 100% of the time during all operations stationary and in motion. The passenger airbag off light remains lit 100% of the time, even when a passenger is sitting in the seat during all operations. I received a recall letter, but as of 12:04 18 Aug 2018, my vehicle VIN on the NHTSA and Audi websites are no longer identifying my vehicle as a recalled vehicle, although it has the specific problem identified. Please advise, as this is a safety issue for my family that could result in increased chance of injury or loss of life.
