1st problem my passenger air bag will go on and off sometime while driving even though no one is sitting there. 2nd problem the weather here was -30 for about 10 days and my car stopped working one morning when I turned it on. More precisely steering did not work. When I took it to VW dealer and they had it over night for all ice to melt they said a bunch of water came out from module when they unplugged wire harnes.

Going straight, passing thru a green light, another driver runs red light, T bones A7 (prestige trim) causing noticable damage to exterior on passenger side however airbags failed to deploy. Meanwhile A7 also had impact to driver side which the airbags did diploy with less impact then the passenger side. There is a known recall on other trim levels for the passenger air bag however the prestige trim was not included.

Takata recall -received a notice from Audi dealership that my car's VIN came up that it was unsafe to drive because of the head curtain airbag needed to be replaced. I dropped off car on July 13, 2017. I was called by Audi dealership that no airbags could be ordered so I picked up the car. Today, Tuesday, Oct 31, 2017, I call the same Audi dealership, 1421 wilmington pike, West chester pa 19382 and talked to george in service 610-455-2000, and he stated that the dealership has still not received any replacement airbags.
