2017 Audi A4 Air Bags

My 2017 Audi A4, is having a problem with the passenger air bag sensor. Whether there is a person on the passenger seat or not, the air bag sensor with turn on or off without warning and display a message. I have read that this problem has been recalled before.

The passenger side airbag of the car does not detect passengers in the car. The problem was confirmed by the dealer and was notified to me before putting deposit on this vehicle. The deposit was placed in November of 2021 and as of today there is still no update on the fix. I saw on your website that if the manufacturer is not able to fix the issue in a timely manner then to notify. My main concern is that I’ve been waiting for a repair with no update and when I request for one, all I get is “ We’re not sure when the remedy will be available “. If you could please look into this matter and let me know. Thank you so much for your help

Our 2017 A4 suddenly had the passenger airbag warning light illuminate while driving. In addition a different warning stated "safety system malfunction." We took the car to the dealer. They saw that there was a code in the computer but said that this could be "because a wire moved." They claimed it was "fixed" by "restarting" the car.They did no repair despite our protests, and told us to bring it back if it happened again. The next time we drove the car it happened again. We returned to the dealer. They stated the following (1) there is nothing wrong with the car and we should ignore the random intermittent safety light and continue driving; (2) that "probably you won't have a crash during the malfunction, so it should be OK" and "Audi engineering won't pay to fix this under your warranty because "sometimes your seat heater can trigger this warning for no reason if you don't use the seat heater." Audi is refusing to fix this obvious safety error impacting the airbag system.

Passenger air bag notification on gauge cluster indicates that passenger airbag is off when occupied and unoccupied multiple times in a small time period. The indicator goes back and forth between airbag on and airbag off constantly activating an alarm.

MY 2017 AUDI A4 WARRANTY FOR FACTORY JUST ENDED I HAVE A USED CAR WARRANTY ON THE CAR SAFETY RESTRAINT ONE AND KEEPS ON COMING ON PASSENGER SEAT SEEMS MALFUNCTIONING FOR A SEAT POD

Receiving Safety Malfunction warning with airbag symbol repeatedly while trying to drive. I am unsure why this is occurring, however it would seem this is a known recall for numerous 2017 Audi A4 vehicles. Please help.

PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES ON AND OFF RANDOM WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER. DRIVING ON SIDE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS.

FAULTY AUDI A4 PODS SENSOR DESPITE PREVIOUSLY REPLACING RECALLED CONNECTOR. PASSENGER AIRBAG DEACTIVATES AND CAUSES FREQUENT DASH ALARMS. REPLACEMENT / REPAIR NOT COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER OR EXTENDED WARRANTIES. QUOTED REPAIR BY AUDI DEALERSHIP $1700 OUT-OF-POCKET FOR AN OBVIOUSLY FAULTY COMPONENT THAT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING NUMEROUS AUDI VEHICLE MODELS AND YEARS $1700

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IN DASH AND CHIME CONTINUOUSLY GOES OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING) - WITH OR WITHOUT PASSENGER IN SEAT. BROUGHT CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE 'RE-HARNESSED'. ALSO STATED THAT UNTIL THE REPAIR IS DONE THE LIGHT AND CHIME WILL CONTINUE GOING OFF AND THE AIRBAG IS AT RISK OF NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT WILL COST ABOUT $300 TO FIX.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL #18V370000 BUT MY CAR IS NOT IN LIST OF RECALLED CARS. WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, A WARNING MESSAGE SAYS THAT THE BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION, THE AIR BAGS ARE TURNED OFF. A FEW SECONDS TO A MINUTE OR TWO LATER ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYS THE AIR BAGS ARE ON. THIS SEQUENCE CAN APPEAR MANY TIMES IN AN HOUR OF DRIVING OR NOT APPEAR AT ALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH THE DEALER THAT WHEN THE MESSAGE SAYS THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF, THEY REALLY ARE OFF. SO MY PASSENGER SOMETIMES LACKS THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY THE AIR BAGS.

LATELY THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME AN AND I WILL GET A MESSAGE SAYING "SAFETY MALFUNCTION", I AM TAKING IT BY THE SHOP TOMORROW, BUT JUST IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM, IT WILL BE IDENTIFIED. WE WERE DRIVING AND IT CAME ON, THEN WENT OFF THEN CAME BACK ON. ALSO THE IDENTIFY UP BY THE LIGHTS WERE GOING BETWEEN PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF AND ON, AND MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL -- AUDI ISSUED THE RECALL IN JAN 2017 AND STILL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE, I AM UNABLE TO TAKE MY WIFE OR OTHER FAMILY/FRIENDS ANYWHERE IN MY CAR BECAUSE I FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES (BASED ON THE RECALL LETTER'S WARNING OF INJURY/DEATH). I CALLED AUDI OF AMERICA TWICE, AND THEY HAVE NOT STARTED SOURCING PARTS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVE NO RECEIVED PARTS, NOR HAVE THEY REPLACED ANY TAKATA AIRBAGS TO DATE. IT APPEARS THAT EVEN THOUGH A RECALL WAS ISSUED, NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V955000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
