2015 Audi A3 Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1525002
Internal NHTSA #	11163725
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	AUDI
Model	A3
Model Year	2015
File date	26/12/18
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Passenger occupant detection system failure, resulting in illuminated air bag malfunction indicator lamp. Excessive resistance in the occupant sensor mat of the front passenger seat, indicating an internally failing sensor and resulting in the vehicle air bag system becoming disabled. Audi has issued recalls for other vehicle models in this year for this exact defect, and the resolution in those instances is to install an updated part with a protective cover that will prevent premature failure of the new sensor. Audi has not expanded the recall to include the audi a3 as of the date of this writing. This particular vehicle is a 2015 audi a3 premium plus fwd sedan with sport seats and 1. 8l gasoline engine. Audi does not appear to offer a replacement part at this time, possibly an indication that the part has been designated obsolete if the vw audi group is currently investigating the issue and updating the part. Unfortunately, this leaves consumers without a repair option while operating a vehicle without a functioning safety restraint system. Diagnostic trouble code: 9577755 / b1225 1b ; identical trouble code associated with the active recall(s) that as of yet are not extended to the a3 vehicles.
