2018 Audi A3 Air bags Problems

“I've been waiting since march for Audi nj to repair my airbag (pods) and it's already may 1st this is absurd and completely on the hands of Audi and Audi only. I don't want to risk having anyone in my passenger seat and god forbid get into an accident and it would be on my hands. Audi has to step it up because I'm more than sure I'm not the only one waiting for this to be available to service our cars.”

“Safety recall 69z4 passenger occupant section system (pods) for Audi a3s. I received notice of this recall from Audi in august 2019 and at the time there was no repair available. I was receiving the airbag warning light and audio warning signals indicating that there was a safety system malfunction. The recall repair became available in september and I had the recall completed in late september 2019 at the dealership I purchased the car from brand new. In october of 2019 the safety warnings and audio warnings about my safety systems and my air bag light came on again. …”

“The passenger airbag stays on off mode even when a passenger is sitting in the seat with their seatbelt on. I have taken my car to Audi dealership two times and they tell me I would have to pay $900.00 for a new airbag pod which may not even fix it. Audi also told me it’s not covered with my warranty. I’ve been trying to avoid driving with passengers but it’s my only vehicle and can’t always avoid it.”

“Audi had a recall on my 2018 A3 for a Passenger Occupant Detection System. in July 2023, Audi replaced the PODS Sensor mat. Recently, the same car has encountered the same issue. The PODS light indicates the airbag is off even if a passenger is sitting in the seat. There has been not repair work since July 2023, that would impact the PODS. And the warning lights reappeared after a period of normalcy. I feel this is an incomplete recall remedy and Audi is now wanting to charge me for the repair”
