The vehicle was affected previously and confirmed fixed by Audi under recall 69Z4 for the occupant sensor. The airbag, seatbelt, Audi presense error light will illuminate at times regardless of whether an occupant is sitting in the passenger seat going on and off sporadically while driving or stationary. The vehicle is eligible to be fixed under warranty, however it appears their original fix under the recall was not adequate in resolving the occupant airbag sensor light and poses a safety hazard to passengers if the airbag were to turn off while an accident occurred. After a recent diagnostic the codes that appeared are similar to what would occur prior to Audi's "fix" to the recall.

Regardless of front seat passenger presence: 'passenger airbag off', 'seatbelt off', and 'pre sense off' warning messages illuminate at car start, restart, drive, park, restart, repeat. Unable to clear warnings. Also appears in vehicle dash warning system. Started noticing intermittently after airbag recall addressed, not sure if exact date. Now, the malfunction is constant.

The shoulder strap of the front seat belt is a few inches from my body when fastened. I am tall and skinny so this may not be an issue with other body types. The problem is due to a rigid seat belt receptacle that is tilted forward and fixed in place. Every other Audi model has a flexible seat belt receptacle which allows the shoulder strap to fit snugly against my body. Only the A3 has this issue. I have the seat back as far forward as is comfortable.
