The system intermittently fails to recognize when a passenger is present, or it falsely indicates that a passenger is present when the seat is empty.  This creates uncertainty about whether the passenger airbag will deploy correctly in the event of a collision. The issue has occurred multiple times.  Safety Concern: Because the PODS system directly controls passenger airbag deployment, a malfunction could result in the airbag being disabled when an adult passenger is seated, or unintentionally activated when no one is present. This poses a significant safety risk.  Request: I am reporting this issue as it appears to be a defect in the occupant detection system. Other Audi models from nearby years have had recalls related to PODS malfunctions. I urge NHTSA to investigate whether this defect extends to the 2019 Audi Q5 and to consider issuing a recall if warranted.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q5","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
