2012 Audi A7 Air bags Problems

“I was told today that the airbag light which would not go out is because of a problem with the wiring harness (which even the dealership thinks is a manufacturing problem though I do not know if they told that to Audi) to fix this, and assure that my airbag will deploy, they want over 18 thousand dollars. Audi has disclaimed any liability for this issue and my extended warranty won't cover it because its an airbag issue.”

“Takata recall, my airbag light has been on since april 2018. Audi of annapolis informed me that I have to purchase another steering wheel for $4000 to replace a faulty airbig, why? I have no horn and no air bag and I'm terrified to drive my car. I've been renting cars since april. My car is also overheating when it's idle for 10 minutes, however, when I start driving it cools down. I see recalls for other Audi models, why not the 2012 A7?”

“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. …”

“The contact owns a 2012 Audi A7. The contact stated that the front passenger side air bag off warning indicator illuminated intermittently while the seat was occupied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger seat occupant detection sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v823000 (air bags). The failure mileage was 80,000. ...updated 05/03/17”
