I own a 2015 audi a3.audi recently had a recall (#69z4) to address an issue with their pods sensor system. audi claimed the fix as a revised wiring connection and cable routing. my a3 experienced the exact symptoms and issues the recall covered. i took it in for repair however immediately after picking up the car the issue still persists. dealer says it is actually an issue with the pods sensor itself but that they will not repair this under warranty. i called audi usa who claims the same. it appears their fix is not robust enough to fix the actual problem but they will not correct it further. as it stands now my car still will not allow the airbag to work properly while a passenger is there or not. airbag warning goes off constantly and "air bag off" light is illuminated nearly all the time but will intermittently go on and off at random times. how ever, after going back into the audi dealership, the representative informed me that i needed to replace the pressure sensor under the front passenger seat. part number : 8v0898522s and n0152612 would need to be purchased to fix the air bag light ...

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 ...
