Had the car parked in the driveway for about a week and half. When turned it on for the first time after that period, noticed the airbag light in the odometer panel continue to be on. Checked for any airbag recalls but found none. Although no airbag recalls have been placed on this particular vehicle so far; I found an online source which states that vehicle of this year, make and model may be affected with airbag issues. Since this could be of a major safety concern, Please check and advise on how to go about this.

I am writing with respect to recall report 18V370, possible failure of front passenger seat pods sensing system. Audi notified me of this defect in July 2018 and still has not produced a solution for the recall. Because of the unpredictability as to when or whether the pods sensing system might fail (including immediately before impact), I can't allow anyone to sit in the affected seat. I believe Audi is being delinquent in its obligation to remedy this issue. My dealer informed me that there would be no solution until at least 2019. I believe this is causing consumer harm and that they should be compelled to remedy the situation immediately. They should be precluded from producing any new vehicles with the corrected part until they completely repair every affected existing vehicle.

An unknown dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available and there was no timeframe for when the part would be available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.

My car has a recall. I've called Audi no timeline told me 3-6 months till can fix. I am also not allowed to sell my car because Audi can't sell the cars. Essentially I'm stuck with an unsafe car until Audi decides they want to fix.
