Loss of power, engine shut off and “airbag enabled” message. Hmm..
Hey guys!
Had my 2020 C43 Wagon since December and I love it!
However, I experienced a couple of issues, one of which just happened today.
Car has just about 4,500km (2,800 miles).
I was driving at normal traffic speed of about 60 km/h (40 m/h) in sport + (I mostly drive in comfort mode) and all of a sudden lost power. I was pressing the gas pedal, but car was slowing down as if I took my foot off. I was able to pull over and stop. As soon as I stopped, engine shut off by itself and I got a message saying “passenger airbag enabled” or something along those lines. I restarted the engine, and drove home without issues. So weird… I will call my dealer to see if they will take it to have a look.
Another problem I have is blind spot monitoring warning triangle in the driver’s side mirror comes on randomly at various speeds (of course, nobody is next to me and driving on the open road without any barriers near by). Dealer took the car in and had it for few days. Apparently they had to open a ticket with the factory techs because they could not figure out what’s up. They “fixed” it. It was OK for about a week, and now it’s back. Annoying to get the warning beeps for no reason when I turn on the indicator.
Wondering if anyone had similar issues and what was the fix?
Thanks and stay safe!

Happened to my 2019 C43 right when I first got it. Also to my buddy's A350 2020.
They flashed both of our software and the problem never came back.
I read it can also be a loose connector under your front seats that throws off that airbag error.
