2015 Audi S3 Air bags Problems

“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.”

“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)”

“I got a passenger airbag off problem on the second year, and keep going back to dealership to check the problem until I got a recall notice. After having the passenger airbag sensor repaired recall, the car still comes up the same problem plus the passenger seatbelt off light up. The Audi dealership now tell me that the pods sensor is faulty and let me pay for its safety problems. I have no idea what have it done with my car after recall, and I feel really disappointed with Audi right now.”

“Audi recall 69z4 messed up my passenger airbag and seatbelt warning sign. Had no issue until after the recall, so I called Audi immediately after and they claimed I had to replace some sensor that had 'nothing' to do with the sensor they 'fixed' from the recall. When the car starts the passenger seatbelt warning sign keeps blinking with the airbag light on when there is no passenger. When there is a passenger and the car starts there is no seatbelt warning sign and the passenger airbag is turned off. …”

“Regarding: NHTSA campaign# 19v474000 recall# 69z4 vehicle was taking into Audi dealership in cuyahoga falls oh and completed the safety recall fix. 11 months later, the pods system indicated another circuit failure. Take back into same dealership and confirmed same safety recall failure. Would not honor the 12mth/12k warranty as I was about 5k miles past. They want about $700 to fix. I am deciding not to have them fix it. I have heard this problem keeps happening. So right now I have no passenger air bags and looking for a way to bypass the pods circuit to stay on always I guess.”
