My husband test drove a 2015 Audi A7 Prestige at National City Auto Center, 1800 National City Blvd, National City, CA 91950.

When I have a passenger riding with me the passenger airbag cuts on and off the whole time while I’m driving. This is a major safety concern especially when I have passengers all the time. I’m concerned the airbag will not deploy during an accident.
