| Component | SEAT BELTS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The passenger side air bag is permanently disable, even when a passenger is seated on it- it appears the sensor under the seat does is not working properly. This is critical malfunction as the passenger will not be protected in a collision case. Additionally, the seatbelt light comes on to fasten seatbelt even when no one is sat on that seat and won't go away until the belt is fasten. I have been waiting for audi to include my vehicle in the current national recall to fix that problem. |
