Audi released a safety recall for the airbags on my vehicle, i have had the safety recall performed twice and i am still getting the same airbag errors. audi has not admitted that they are not sure what is causing the issue again despite replacing parts that were supposedly going to fix the issue. now i have to drive the vehicle with no airbags when the error comes on, which is every time i start the car.
My passenger seat airbag light started coming in randomly. i think it might be the sensor that sees if a small child is in the seat, in which case it turns off the airbag. but, when no one is in the seat, i get an alert every time i start the car, and it beeps for minutes. plus, i think its telling me the airbag will not deploy if wrecked! my car is just out of warranty (4.5 years old, 39k miles)
Passenger air bag is constantly turning itself off. sometimes when someone is in the seat, sometimes if nothing is in the seat. i can even have it trip if i place an ipad or even a to-go back of food. very annoying. mentioned it twice to dealerships, but was always told "it might be wet" or "everything found in order" even though my vcds is logging all of these errors. doesn't matter if the car is stationary or moving. it will cycle between thinking someone is in the seat and someone isn't. been happening for years. not exactly thrilled about letting my wife or kid ride in the passenger seat.
Passenger seat occupancy sensor srs airbag light warning comes up whether or not there is a seated passenger. passenger is not being detected and airbag stays off. happens when stationary or in motion. vehicle is always giving warning sounds that seat belt is not fastened. issue tested by dealer. seems to be common known issue with recent audi's. others to have reported same issue.
The passenger occupancy detection sensor in the front passenger seat is malfunctioning. this is even after the recent recall for the vehicle. audi states that this is just wear and tear on the car and say it will cost $1300 to fix. in the meantime, the airbag light is on and airbags are not functioning.
My car's passenger side front seat abruptly developed a sensor failure. the "passenger airbag off" light is lit, signaling the airbag won't deploy despite a passenger sitting in the seat. this is dangerous. there has been a recall issued in june 2018 on 140k audi cars with similar problem, my model has yet to be included, and there are likely more cars with similar malfunction.
