Takata recall no parts available. went to prestige audi to state my concern about a rental or loaner car. they told me to drive the car like that. it isnt to dangerous. this recall can cause a fatality. why do i have to wait. i need answers . i drive around alot

Takata recall. i have been to my dealership with regards to the recall here in houston. and the only thing they say is that they are aware but they don't know what audi is going to do about it. they have no timeline or table as to when they will begin repairs.

Takata recall my complain is the lack of importance by audi and takata when they dont have a time table as to when parts are going to become available to fix this problem and they dont care if you have to sit your spouse or children and potentially expose them to a tragedy, should you be involved in a auto accident. in my case i have 2 vehicles, different manufacturers and both of them have the same recall for the air bags.

Takata recall: this complaint is in regard to passenger airbag only, what about the driver. i contacted audi usa, 800-822-2834 and confirmed with the rep ( vince) that there is no guarantee available regarding the driver airbag not affected by the recall. audi usa is not able/willing to provide a letter indicating that there is no need to be concerned re; driver air bag and more importantly , that it is safe.. i find this to be very inappropriate, i live in miami, fl. a highly humid and hot state which takata has reported airbag inflator could potentially rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute high humidity and temperature cycling. i know for a fact can be deadly if airbag deploys. i was informed by the audi/ rep that the only way to be sure is to " take the car apart to confirm manufacturer of airbag." this is highly unacceptable. i do not feel safe driving my vehicle and should not have to deny a family/friend transportation ( passenger ) because i have a recalled airbag with a "repair solution pending." in addition, i am making my car payments towards a car that i now feel unsafe, and cannot allow a passenger to accompany me. i am requesting a prompt answer to my complaint in hopes that we can come to an agreement and solution towards this problem.

Takata recall. after receiving notice of the recall, we cannot place our disabled son in the front seat such that we can keep and eye on him, as he can't control his impulses. it is not safe to place him in the back as he almost caused an accident when my wife was driving. this is an extreme hardship, and audi won't provide me a loaner car or a solution. is there a class action suit involving this issue? audi has provided no help, and takata can't be reached. what we we supposed to do?

I did not receive a notice that audi supposedly sent that my 2008 a4 sedan has a takata air bag that will be replaced.

Takata recall. received notice that passenger airbag is unsafe and is recalled. there is no solution available to this date. i drive with a person who is claustrophobic and must sit in the passenger side. i also drive a group of friends and we need to use the passenger seat as well as the rear seats. this is dangerous and i request a speedy remedy/ replacement air bag.

Takata recall: the recall notice was issued in july. 2016. as of dec. 2016 no repairs have been possible, nor parts available until "the spring". the passenger seat is unsafe for use, rendering the auto extremely dysfunctional for at least 9+ months. inexcusable!

Takata recall. i was notified at the beginning of july that my vehicle was affected by the takata recall for the passenger side airbag, but that no solution was available. i requested more information both from my local audi dealership as well as from audi usa and received no definitive answer. the best estimate the dealership could give me was 8 months to a year before a solution. this means that i can not safely have a passenger in the vehicle or our infant int he back seat for that period of time, essentially rendering the vehicle useless. this does not seem like a reasonable time period to me and i would like the nhtsa to evaluate the situation.

Informed by audi of recall. no remedy, no timetable for repair, no offer ofloaner car, just advised to not drive with passengers indefinitely. talked to two audi dealers and heard same story. they do not address loss of use of not being able to safely transport passengers yet they say do not disconnect airbags. other auto brands affected by this recall are making repairs and providing loaner/rental cars. i assume the vw diesel scandal is affecting their desire to protect and take care of their customers. it's been 4 months since the notice and as of 10/28 there is no new info or remedy available.

Takata recall

Takata recall - may 27, 2016 with no remedy the recall is for my passenger side only. it is hard to believe that the driver side is not also impacted and there is no recall on it yet since the car and the air bags were all built at the same time and it would seem that they would not put two different brands in the vehicle. i am afraid to drive the vehicle. there is no remedy as of yet. what am i supposed to do? it is unacceptable to be put in this situation. some one should provide me a safe car to drive until this is resolved.

Takata recall i was notified of a recall on my vehicle for the passenger airbag (takata), and was told a solution is pending. it has been over a year since i was notified and a solution is still pending. no further updates or information about a remedy for this recall has been provided or is available. nhtsa recall number: 16v382

Takata recall almost 1 year since receiving our recall letter and still no fix. not acceptable.

Takata recall according to the audi web site, this recall has been open since may 26, 2016, with no remedy available yet. six months seems like an excessive amount of time to address a serious safety issue. i am unable to have anyone ride in the passenger seat, for fear of their injury or death in the event of an accident, and the possible personal liability related to this.
