All Air Bags Complaints
Driving on my commute to work. Airbag and passenger seat recognition light came on. Error on my car screen says safety system malfunction. Undetermined if it’s both the driver and or passenger seat. Safety at risk should there be an accident and airbag not deployed. Warning lights have been on since September 1, 2025. It comes on and off at random times. 3rd party auto repair confirmed service codes indicates it is a system failure.
THE TRIM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT SEATS IS LOOSE AND BROKEN, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY PROPERLY IF NOT ADDRESSED BY AUDI. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $2700 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT IT IS CUSTOMER PAY DUE TO BEING OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
DRIVER SEAT: THE PLASTIC HOUSING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT, NEAR THE HEADREST, HAVE POPPED OPEN AND PULLED AWAY FROM THE SEAT. THE IS THE AREA WHERE THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE STORED AND DEPLOY FROM DURING A COLLISION. PASSENGER SEAT: THE PLASTIC HOUSING HAS POPPED/PULLED AWAY ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, NEAR THE HEADREST. THIS IS WHERE THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE STORED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY. OCCURS WITH TEMPERATURE CHANGES OR WORSENS WHEN PASSENGER/DRIVER IN RESPECTIVE SEAT.
