I own a 2015 audi a3.audi recently had a recall (#69z4) to address an issue with their pods sensor system. Audi claimed the fix as a revised wiring connection and cable routing. My a3 experienced the exact symptoms and issues the recall covered. I took it in for repair however immediately after picking up the car the issue still persists. Dealer says it is actually an issue with the pods sensor itself but that they will not repair this under warranty. I called audi USA who claims the same. It appears their fix is not robust enough to fix the actual problem but they will not correct it further. As it stands now my car still will not allow the airbag to work properly while a passenger is there or not. Airbag warning goes off constantly and "air bag off" light is illuminated nearly all the time but will intermittently go on and off at random times. How ever, after going back into the audi dealership, the representative informed me that I needed to replace the pressure sensor under the front passenger seat. Part number : 8v0898522s and n0152612 would need to be purchased to fix the air bag light issue. The price of the part being $1000 that is not including labor. In the statement on the recall it says that this issue will be resolved. The representative at audi USA insisted that I should go to an authorized audi dealership to get the work done so this when it is completed, I am to send her a copy of the invoice and work order to be reviewed by her supervisor for possible reimbursement. She also stated that I was not the only person experiencing this issue. I however refuse to spend $1000+ to fix the main problem with this recall. This should be included in the recall, not just rerouting the wires and replacing the connector to the sensor but actually replacing the sensor it self and not trying to put a band-aid on the issue. This is a major safety issue. Thank you
