Takata recall: first recall notification (69n2) came in april 2016 for driver front airbag. second notification (69o2)came in july for passenger front airbag with the following: "audi recommends avoiding use of the front passenger seat whenever possible until the recall repair has been performed." seriously?! once can assume they recommend avoiding use of the driver seat as well. i believe waiting nine months for a repair is excessive, irresponsible and dangerous.

Takata recall the driver airbag inflator was recalled in february of 2016 and the passenger airbag inflator was recalled in may 2016. it is now december 2016 and audi has no timeline on when the airbags will be replaced. i am forced to drive in a vehicle with serious safety concerns every day. this problem has not been remedied in a timely manner and is risking the safety of consumers such as myself.
The above listed vehicle was in an accident with extensive damage to the vehicle. the airbag on the driver side didn't deploy, which caused major injuries to the forehead and other body parts. the vehicle sustained major front end damage and it is unknown why the airbag didn't deploy. there were no warning signs of airbag being defective or needed to be repaired. *tr
Purchased car from elk grove audi as a certified used vehicle. the seat broke and no airbags deployed. i was at a stop light with one truck in front of me also stopped. a chevy tahoe doing approx 45 mph hit me from behind, she moved over at the last minute so she did not hit me completely from the rear, she ended up hitting the back drivers side and then down the side of the drivers side. i was pushed into the truck in front of me. one of the officers asked if we had purchased the car used since the airbags did not deploy. car was totalled - during the process of the settlement on the car the insurance company informed us that the car had been in an accident before. when we went back to audi about it, they claim they had no knowledge of the previous accident. the reason we do not believe that is because the mileage on the accident claim is exactly the same as one of the service visit to audi 5 days after the claim. *tr

Air bags did not work in a accident in 2010. speed was approximately 25 mpg. accident involved the right side front panel of the vehicle. the vehicle did not stop at a four way stop. received recall notice by audi march 2017. still no resolution to get airbags fixed.
A woman ran a red light heading east, my husband and i were heading north, the woman t-boned us the airbags did not deploy. audi says it was the "angle" of impact. i have police report, the collision shop, and the insurance adjuster all agree airbags should have deployed. *tr
