UPON STARTING THE CAR, THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM SHOWS A MESSAGE THAT AUDI PRE SENSE IS NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE WORKING FINE, BUT IF PRE SENSE IS NOT WORKING IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE SEAT BELTS WILL TIGHTEN AND THE AIRBAG COULD GO OFF IF IT MALFUNCTIONS. THE AUDI DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT MAY BE NOTHING AND IT MAY RESET ITSELF. THE CAR HAS 12000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A PROBLEM. I SAW ONLINE THAT A BUNCH OF OTHER AUDI OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND THE SEAT BELTS TIGHENED WHILE THE DRIVER WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN JANUARY 2017, AND THIS ONLY JUST HAPPENED 6/2/2018 AND EVERY DAY SINCE.
