*** takata recall *** i am filing a complaint with nhtsa because i feel i am driving a, so to speak, "loaded gun." i find it completely irresponsible that my vehicle maker, audi, as well as takata, have not reached out to me regarding a very serious defect in my car. as you are well aware, this is a problem that has led to serious harm and death, yet, by sheer coincidence, i just so happened to stumble upon this story and find that my car is one of the affected. to make matters worse, i find out that there is no remedy to this problem. neither takata nor audi are taking measures to get my car off the road protecting me and my family.

Takata recall. i own a 2012 audi q5. i drive my 2 young children to school in my audi and have no other alternative mode of transportation. i feel incredibly nervous and in danger driving my children and myself in such an unsafe vehicle. audi refuses to give me a loaner vehicle and has no time frame as to when repairs may be done. i contacted audi headquarters and my local dealer several times voicing my safety concern. i was told by both parties that each other were to blame for the lack of resolution. it's unbelievable to me, that audi, being an expensive luxury brand, would give me such a run around and have no protocol on how to handle this takata recall situation. it's shocking how blatantly audi has no regard for their customers safety. my husband's vehicle, acura tl 2012 had the same recall. acura dealer instructed my husband to stop driving the car immediately and provided a loaner for concern of my husbands safety. within 2 months, they fixed the vehicle and all is well. it was a painless experience he greatly appreciated. i expected the same fair treatment from audi being a premier luxury car brand. i don't understand why audi doesn't feel any obligation to ensure the safety of their customers. all i'm asking for is a safe vehicle to drive until they can repair my q5. it is a huge disappointment. i hope you can help remedy my desperate concern. thank you. *tr

Takata recall and more: audi has not resolved this issue since april 2016 and sees no solution in sight. they are not offering to buy back the vehicles, fix them or provide a loaner as a result of this extremely dangerous issue. i am stuck in a dangerous vehicle with no solution in sight. on top of that, since the purchase of this vehicle in september 2015 we have had all sorts of problems including a loose moonroof that had to be fixed 3 times in a month. 4 recalls and 7 visits to service department in a year and 5 months. makes no sense for such an expensive vehicle and the service of audi of america has been exactly as bad as the car.

It's been over a year! this is ridiculous! dealer wasn't willing to rent me a car like volkswagen did for my friend and that air bag was replaced in 3 months....i've been driving my death machine for a year they only offered me to trade up for another car but they didn't have the colors i wanted. now there are 2 airbag recalls on my car and no solution! *tr

Takata recall has been 10 months, driving around a soon 10 month old baby. no rental car provided by dealership, called corporate 3 times over the 10 month period and explained my situation with the baby and they have no heart. god forbid something is to happen. how is audi not offering rentals like toyota and acura. disgrace to not offer car rentals or comparable trade ins.

Takata recall. it has been 15 months since the recall and audi has offered nothing, such as a car rental as other manufacturer's have done. i have called many audi dealerships and the corporate offices requesting an equal trade-in on an unaffected q5 model, such as the 2013 i believe is not recalled; or a car rental. i have a 14 month old and cannot drive the baby around in this vehicle. audi has told me not to worry - 'there have been no fatalities in german made vehicles due to the takata recall'. i am very disappointed and ask assistance or remedy resolved immediately.

Takata recall: it's been 9 months and still no remedy?

Tacata air bag recall - safety recall 69n1 ... 2 years and counting the part is not available, audi is doing nothing to help. i have small children, this is a ridiculous the part is not available.
