TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE NOW HAD TWO OFFICIAL NOTICES THAT MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL, BUT THE AUDI DEALER IN SF (ROYAL AUTO GROUP) STILL SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS AND CAN'T FIX IT. ADDITIONALLY, THEY WON'T GIVE ME A LOANER WHILE I WAIT. THIS MEANS I AM DRIVING AN INCREDIBLY UNSAFE CAR AROUND SIMPLY BECAUSE BUREAUCRACY IS GETTING IN THE WAY OF FIXING IT.

TAKATA RECALL | MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALLED AIRBAG AND WHILE THE MANUFACTURER IS ALLEGEDLY UNABLE TO REPLACE IT, FOR REASONS UNCLEAR, I'VE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT'WHICH IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION.
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.

MY A4 RANDOMLY SWITCHES INTO NEUTRAL AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NO CONTROL AND HAVE COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD ON ONE OCCASION WHEN "DRIVE" WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE. MY DASHBOARD SCREEN FLASHES OVER THE PRND TRANSMISSION INDICATORS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO, SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUDI DEALER IN SOUTH ORLANDO. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS GONE BAD AND WILL COST $3100 TO REPAIR. THE CAR ALSO WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE ABOUT EVERY 3RD OR 4TH TIME I SELECT THIS GEAR. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ON 2004-2006 MODELS, SO I WOULD ASSUME AUDI WILL RECALL THIS MODEL YEAR AS WELL. MY A4 HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER SINCE NEW. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ELEVATED TO A RECALL STATUS ALREADY GIVEN THE PREVIOUS HISTORY OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE SAME MODELS.
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. MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A CRITICAL, POTENTIALLY LIFE-OR-DEATH RECALL. HOWEVER, NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN PRESENTED.
IT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND I GO TO PARK IT. WHEN I PASS REVERSE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT MORE OFTEN AFTER IT RAINS. MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO A MAJOR FAULT. CODE P0706: TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR TELLS THE TCM THE POSITION OF THE GEAR LEVER. IT ALSO CONTAINS A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, WHICH ENSURES THAT YOU CAN ONLY START YOUR CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO SET ARE: FAULTY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR MISADJUSTED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR OPEN OR SHORTED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR HARNESS FAULTY PCM IT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THE A4 AUDI'S. ITS DANGEROUS AND ITS NOT ANYTHING THAT OWNERS OF THE AUDIS DID OR DID NOT DO. I HAVE NEVER NEGLECTED MY CAR. IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ENEVATABLE BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED DURING THE MANUFACTURING.
MY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO TELLING ME THAT MY DYNAMIC HEADLIGHT RANGE CONTROL IS NO LONGER WORKING PROPERLY.

TAKATA RECALL-MY 2008 AUDI A4 HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR MUCH GREATER THAN ONE YEAR. I AM AT THE AUDI DEALER TODAY FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND AGAIN I HAVE BEEN PRESENTED WITH A REMINDER THAT MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL AND THAT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS NO ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT! I HAVE BEEN PATIENT LISTENING TO THE CORPORATE-SPEAK ABOUT HOW THIS IS A NOT AN AUDI PROBLEM, BUT A TAKATA PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, I BELIEVE THAT VOLKSWAGEN AG, THE OWNER OF AUDI SHOULD OWN THIS PROBLEM AND NOT CONTINUE TO PASS IT OFF TO A FINANCIALLY UNACCOUNTABLE INTERNATIONAL PARTS MANUFACTURER. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DEALER TRADE-IN BECAUSE OF THIS UNFULFILLED RECALL. AT THIS TIME MY FINANCIAL LOSS IS NOT INSIGNIFICANT, HOWEVER THE SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO LIFE THREATENING INJURY CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED BY AUDI OR VOLKSWAGEN. PATIENCE AND REASONABLE UNDERSTANDING CAN BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE BY CORPORATE GREED. I NOW REFUSE TO ACCEPT CONTINUED DELAY FROM THE MOST PROFITABLE DIVISION OF VOLKSWAGEN AG.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED MY PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG RECALL (DIR2) NOTICE DATED MARCH 2017 AND IT ADVISES THAT BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, THAT AUDI RECOMMENDS AVOIDING USE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHENEVER POSSIBLE UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THIS VEHICLE IS MY FAMILY'S PRIMARY VEHICLE AND IS USED BY THE DRIVER AND ONE OR MORE PASSENGERS NEARLY EVERY DAY. WE HAVE A SECOND VEHICLE, A 2007 FORD RANGER WHICH ALSO HAS A TAKATA PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG RECALL WITH NO DATE FOR REPAIR. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY LOCAL AUDI DEALER WHO HAS STATED THAT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS OR MORE. WE HAVE WAITED FOR THE FORD RANGER AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ALREADY. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SCRAP EITHER OF OUR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND START OVER WITH ANOTHER CAR, NOR CAN WE AFFORD TO RENT A VEHICLE TO REPLACE EITHER OR BOTH OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE FOR OUR FAMILY. THIS LACK OF A SOLUTION ON THE PART OF THE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND BY THE GOVERNMENT OVERSEEING THIS ISSUE IS DEPLORABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND DRIVEN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FROM AUGUST 2011 THRU FEBRUARY 2016. IT WAS RELOCATED TO ILLINOIS IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND THE RECALLED FOR TAKATA AIRBAG DANGER IN MAY 2016. THIS RECALL PROCESS HAS BEEN AN UNETHICAL AND IMMORAL PROCESS WITH IRRESPONSIBLE DELAYS AND LETHAL POSSIBILITIES. THIS SITUATION MUST BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY REGARDLESS OF CONSEQUENCES TO THE MANUFACTURER.
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!
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
