Tamara recall. my dealer, audi of stratham nh keeps sending me cards to have the airbag replaced. i made an appointment a month ago and when i arrived was told they didn't have it. made another appointment for today, 1/4/19, on the basis of being told that they had it in hand. when i called today they didn't. they blame it on audi, say they are only the dealership. i must have received 15 or more notices from the dealership to have the airbag replaced. i have been driving an unsafe car for 2 years.

Takata recall audi of el paso still has not completed the repair, when contacted them they had no estimated time frame for the repair to be completed
I am a military service member assigned in stuttgart, germany. my vehicle was shipped here in december 2017, at that time there were no open recalls. now my vehicle is affected by the takata airbag recall. below is what i sent audi of america as well as their response. please assist in resolving this matter because audi of usa did not provide a viable, safe solution. thank you my vehicle is in stuttgart, germany and was shipped as part of my military work directed move in october 2017. this vehicle has an open takata airbag recall and yesterday i visited a local german dealership who informed me they would not assist with inspecting my car or replacing an airbag if needed. could you please and urgently let me know how i can resolve this recall issue while my vehicle is in stuttgart, germany? i am very disappointed that a local dealership would not assist considering the risk posed to the driver and other drivers/pedestrians if this airbag issue is not resolved in a timely manner. i also have concerns continuing to drive the vehicle to work if there is an open recall item issued.

Takata recall: we have now received 4 or 5 letters over the past 9 months informing us of the recall and telling us our life may be in danger and to contact our dealer immediately to have the airbag replaced. when i call our dealer (peabody, ma), they inform me they do not have the part and do not know when they will. when i contacted audi usa they indicated it is nhtsa who determines which dealers get the parts and when. if you aren't supplying the parts, don't repeatedly require audi to send me letters telling me my life may be in danger. it's a bit like the boy who cried wolf, i no longer believe you really mean my life is in danger, because if you did, you'd ensure the part is available to fix the problem. the 2 most recent letters are attached.

Takata recall - have not received a notification of when the airbag will be replaced by the dealership.
What the f is going on. still no replacement
Takata recall. the parts are not available at the dealership in warrington, pa on april 29, 2017, 14 months past the recall date.
Takata airbags - the dealership near us that services our audi vehicles will not perform the recall work service. they claim the steering wheel was changed. they quoted us a $2500 price to replace the steering wheel and then they can do the recall work. we bought the car used. we did not change the steering wheel. the steering wheel is an audi s line steering wheel. the car is an s line as indicated on various parts throughout the car. i went to luxury haus where we bought the car and they went out of business. i contacted audi of america and they could not explain the issue but closed our case with no written explanation. i spoke to the person handling my case and they could not explain it to me as they were not qualified. i asked to speak to a qualified person so i can at least understand what the problem is. i never received an explanation either written or verbal over the phone. we did not change the steering wheel. the steering wheel matches the make and model of the car. the steering wheel is an audi product. we don't understand why we need to spend $2500 to get another same steering wheel in order to get this safety recall completed. i am scared to drive the car. it is 6 years old. the dealership told us we cannot trade the car in until we address the recall. i could not try to sell it privately knowing this safety problem exists and dumping this problem onto someone else. it seems very unfair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 audi q5. the contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 18v082000 (air bags) was received in march of 2017. after contacting the dealer (lynnbrook audi in lynnbrook, ny), the contact was informed that the parts needed to repair the defect were not available. the contact was instructed to contact the manufacturer. the manufacturer was not notified. the contact had not experienced a failure.
Takata recall - we are first-time parents and had infant twin boys. we had bought this car for more room and safety and then the recall happened. we asked our dealer repeatedly for a fix and even contacted audi usa but they told us there was nothing they could do. we had friends and relatives with other car brands whose dealers gave them loaners or rental cars but audi offered us nothing. ultimately, we traded in the car because we were so worried.
Takata recall - i was made aware of the takata airbag recall via usps postal mail service in april of 2016 by audi of america inc. located at 3800 hamlin road, auburn hills mi 48326. since then, i have made multiple inquiries to audi service departments as to how long it would take for my airbag replacement. each time i was told that as soon as the parts were available, i would be informed and asked to bring in my vehicle for service. at this point, i am experiencing anxiety when driving my vehicle and decided that i would trade it in for a new vehicle in order to feel safe while on the road. while at the farmington hills dealership, i was informed that the value of my trade-in would only be $12,000 because they are not able to resell the vehicle due to the faulty airbags. as a consequence, any vehicle that i purchase would have a $10,000 debt rolled in because of the difference between my trade-in value and the balance of my existing car loan. if someone is to experience financial damages as a result of the faulty airbags, it should be takata and not me as a consumer. i am requesting that audi take my trade-in at its full value [not take the faulty airbags into consideration] and i am submitting this complaint in the hopes that we can arrive at a mutually beneficial outcome (where i am not responsible for the fact that the car cannot be resold) and avoid additional or further litigation.
Takata recall - this recall was started in february of 2016 yet i was never informed by audi that my vehicle needed the air bag fixed and the audi website states that a solution is still pending. i also have a second recall related to the fuel pump that began in september of 2016. i need to know if the vehicle can already be fixed for the takata recall and until what date i have to take it to an audi dealer for repair.

I purchased this vehicle on september 1st 2016. when i found out it has airbag problems i went back to the dealer and told them that audi did not have remedy to fix the airbags on october 2016. i had an open heart surgery in 2013 and driving in the vehicle with defected airbags was not an option. i traded this vehicle at the same dealership and lost my trade in value of $9000.someone has to be responsible for this and i think if dealership cannot recoup my loss of $9000, than audi should reimburse me for my loss. i was couldn't take a chance to drive in unsafe vehicle and wait till now to replace airbags. i was not disclosed at the time of sale that there was no remedy available from manufacturer to fix airbags in 10/2016. i have my initial contract for vehicle purchase. i do not have this vehicle in my possession any longer and traded in on another at the same dealership.
Takata recall why is the "remedy" for the driver airbag inflator not yet available? the recall date is a full 6 months old. this is preposterous when audi and takata know the fix involves the installation of a new inflator...we have no incident (death or injury) to report at this time. how many deaths are needed to force the hand of takata and/or audi?
What must be done for manufacturers to start honoring nhtsa recall # 16v078, i drive a vehicle that dealerships claim lacking of manufacturers procedure to address manufacturers recall # 69n1 . i do drive the vehicle around and hate to be a statistic do to lack of a procedure implementation.

Takata recall: i find it completely unbelievable, scary and a huge lack of interest and consideration for the safety of drivers that the schedule for addressing the takata recall is so drawn out. i was notified in april of the recall and am now told that it will not be addressed until 2018. i have no choice but to drive my car to get to work, and every day i have to worry about whether or not the airbag is a liability and harmful to my life and that of my family's. it is inexcusable that a company is willing to take on that liability.
Takata recall: this has been known since february 9, 2016. i have not been notified until i went in almost 1 year after purchasing the vehicle to get my vehicle appraised and it wasn't even audi until i went there and was told to wait until there is a part for the airbags or if i feel that unsafe to trade it in for another vehicle. which is also unfair because it's true trade-in value isn't $21,00-$24,000. so failure to notify owner and this is what i found online: "remedy: replace driver airbag inflator. recall status: recall incomplete. remedy not yet available " according to safercar.gov this has become a growing safety issue for my passengers, pets, and myself. it is a disappointment and makes me not want to rely on audi and drive the vehicle i have purchased after working hard in earning it. they are taking quiet some time and should have thought of another alternative beside the obvious remedy: replace driver airbag inflator. recall status: recall incomplete. remedy not yet available.

Takata recall we got a communication from audi in april 2016 that we will receive a follow-up letter on the next steps to get the airbag fixed. two months later i got the exact same message from the dealer - "we do not not when you will receive the follow-up letter but it will be many months." this is not particularly useful since it is a critical safety issue. looking from better guidance and communication from audi usa and takata. thanks.
Takata recall. i would like my airbags replaced immediately. audi currently "has no remedy available." i find this life threatening and unacceptable.
I find it unacceptable that there is a takata airbag recall and the replacement part is not available. i demand an immediate fix.

Takata recall: i received the takata recall 69n1 for takata sdi driver frontal airbag for my 2012 audi q5. the recall notice also notifies me that a recall repair is not yet available due to unavailable parts. audi of america informed me that they are not loaning out vehicles to those affected by the recall since not audi vehicles world wide have not had a injury or death due to the airbag. i do not want to be the first audi death or injury due to the airbag especially since i like in a very humid area (central alabama) which i have been told that the airbags are more likely to deploy broken in humid areas. i do not feel safe driving my car. i cannot spend months crossing my fingers that i will not get in an accident while waiting for parts. i would like a car available for me to drive. thank you. *tr
