2011 Audi Q5 complaints

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON ROUTE 30 (GREENSBURG PA) WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION WHICH NEARLY CAUSED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE ISSUE INVOLVED THE FRONT DRIVE CHAIN AND SUPPORT. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE RELATED TO AUDI'S. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 6OK MIKES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR WAS DETECTED IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ODOR WAS SO STRONG THAT THE WINDOWS HAD TO BE ROLLED DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,284.

ENGINE FAIL DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V082000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE I BROUGHT OUR CAR IN TO THE AUDI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. I'M CONCERNED THAT CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT REPRESENTS A GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. WHAT IS BEING DONE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?

TAKATA RECALL! THE ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND THE PASSENGER DOOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ONE OF THE DOORS HAVE TROUBLE LOCKING AND THE OTHER CAN'T SENSE THE REMOTE FOR UNLOCKING, IT NEEDS TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED ON.THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR WEEKS AND EXPENDED 2K WITH CHANGING THIS AND THAT BUT NOTHING WAS FIXED. THE ISSUE IS STILL EXISTS. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON!

ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND VERY EXPENSIVE IGNITION COIL/ SPARK PLUG REPAIRS ARE ALWAYS THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THE FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED ON WHEN IT'S THE IGNITION COILS/ SPARK PLUGS. WHEN THE IGNITION COILS/ SPARK PLUGS ARE THE ISSUE, THE CAR SHAKES.

TAKATA RECALL THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED A FIX TO MY DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NOW THEY ARE FILING CHAPTER 11. WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE?

PANORAMIC SUNROOF START LEAKING WATER WHEN RAIN AND PANORAMIC FOAM SWELLS, FOAM BECOMES RUSIED AND BUILDS CORROSION.

OIL LEAKS BADLY FROM REAR MAIN SEAL AND TIMING COVER.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT: NEW COUNTRY AUDI GREENWICH 181 WEST PUTNAM AVENUE, GREENWICH, CT 06830 AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR 8 DAYS I WENT IN GARAGE TO CRANK IT. THE CAR CRANKED BUT SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT IT OFF. I TRIED TO RE CRANK IT BUT IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I CALLED AUDI AND HAD IT TOWED IN. THEY TOLD ME THE "LIFETIME" TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED. THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST BETWEEN $4,000 AND $7,000 TO FIX. I DID SOME QUICK SEARCHING AND SAW OTHER FOLKS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE CAR HAS 98,000 MILES , ALWAYS SERVICED BY AUDI. I CALLED AUDI AND TOLD THEM THIS APPEARS TO BE A RE OCCURRING ISSUE AND I THOUGH THEY SHOULD HANDLE THE FIX. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COST. I TOLD THEM TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, THE FIRST WAS "OIL CONSUMPTION" WHICH THEY REPAIRED FOR FREE. ANOTHER $7,000 FIX. I JUST SAW A EPISODE ON "NEWS 5 INVESTIGATES" CHICAGO DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH A VW, AND ALSO LISTING AUDI'S 2011. ITS ON THEIR WEBSITE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. IT HAS TAKEN TOO LONG TO GET MY AIRBAGS AG. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS IT IS A HIGH RISH OF INJURY OR DEATH. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST OF 2016. THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED

TAKATA RECALL ISSUED IN 2016 BUT MY DEALER HAS BEEN WAITING OVER 6 WEEKS FOR PARTS TO DO THE INTERIM REPAIR. AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED BUT I REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT

TAKATA RECALL," DEALER IS UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS NOT AVAILABLE. FEAR OF GETTING HURT. NO INCIDENT YET.

RECEIVING LEFT HEADLIGHT DIPPED ERROR. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH AUDI ACROSS MODEL RANGE POSSIBLY DUE TO DESIGN ISSUE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL CAMPAIGN NOT IMPLEMENTED ON MY VEHICLE YET. AUDI JUST PERFORMED AN AUDI RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IGNITER HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT ADDRESS THE RECALL. AUDI APPEARS TO BE TELLING CONSUMERS HOWEVER THAT IT DOES.

WHILE TAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE AUDI Q5 3.2 TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THE AUDI Q5 STALLED AND STOPPED AND WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE WORKING PROPERLY; HOWEVER, THE GEARS WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE. THE AUDI Q5 DISPLAYED AN ERROR MESSAGE "GEARBOX MALFUNCTION; YOU CAN CONTINUE DRIVING (LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY)". AFTER REPEATEDLY RESTARTING THE AUDI Q5 AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION IT EVENTUALLY ENGAGED THE GEARS ALLOWING THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN OUT OF TRAFFIC. FROM THAT POINT ON, IT DISPLAYED THIS MESSAGE ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY, BEING THE WORST IN THE MORNING, ALSO LOSING REVERSE GEAR. I DO A LOT OF HWY DRIVING AND ALWAYS WORRY IF I WILL GET KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS IT HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE ENTERING THE HWY ALSO. AUDI HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT IGNORANT, PRETENDING MY CAR IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ADMITTING TO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THIS IS THEIR FACTORY PROBLEM WHICH THEY QUOTE 10K TO FIX, 2X CARS TRADE IN VALUE OR WHOLESALE VALUE.

MY VEHICLE WENT TO THE AUDI FIFE DEALERSHIP. ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I TRIED TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS ADVISED THAT MY CAR HAD -0-TRADE IN VALUE. THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT ON A TRADE-IN. THEY SAID IT WAS WORTHLESS. I TOWED THE VEHICLE HOME AND I NOTICED ON MY PAPERWORK THAT THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETED "3" RECALLS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION OR KNOWLEDGE. I ASKED SERVICE WHY THEY COMPLETED THESE RECALLS ON A WORTHLESS VEHICLE THAT I HAD TO TOW HOME. A VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS DEALERSHIP IS COLLECTING OVER $14,000 FOR RECALLS THAT I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE ON A VEHICLE THAT THEY SAID WAS WORTHLESS. I CAN'T EVEN VERIFY IF THE DEALERSHIP ACTUALLY DID THE RECALLS. THIS IS AN UNETHICAL PRACTICE FOR THIS DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME MY VEHICLE IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT AN ENGINE; WON'T ACCEPT ON A TRADE; TOWED MY VEHICLE HOME BUT THEY COLLECT $14,000.

TOOK SUV IN FOR RECALL X3 (2) SEPARATE DEALERS, WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART IN YET TO REPLACE IT. I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION THIS PAST JANUARY 2017 THE AIR BAG DIDNT DEPLOIT.

ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR I AM AWARE OF THE RECALL, I HAVE BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AT 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS BOTH STATE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL. IN JANUARY 2017 I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY! I WAS TOLD BY THE LAST DEALER DURING 2 OTHER RECALLS THAT NJ WILL HAVE SUPPLIES COME THIS FALL! I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL COMPLETED ASAP AS ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR! PLUS HAVING BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT HEAD ON ITS NOT TO REASSURING KNOWING THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY!

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V078 RECALL DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 69N1 SUMMARY: TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. SAFETY RISK: AS REPORTED BY TAKATA: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY: REPLACE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE IT HAS NOW BEEN 17 MONTHS SINCE A RECALL WAS ISSUED. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR AUDI DEALERSHIP ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. EACH TIME, WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PART IS NOT YET READY, AND THAT WE ARE "IN QUEUE FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF REPAIRS." IT IS UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT IN 17 MONTHS, THE RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURERS HAVE NOT PRODUCED ENOUGH PARTS TO MEET THE DEMAND OF A POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY TIMELINE FOR WHEN RECALL REQUESTS WILL BE FULFILLED! AS OF JULY 11,2017, AUDI IS STILL UNABLE TO PROVIDE US OF EVEN A DATE WHEN THIS RECALL CAN BE ADDRESSED.

HELLO, THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR MY 2001 AUDI Q5: START DATE: FEB 09, 2016, AUDI ACTION CODE: 69N1 DESCRIPTION: TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V078 SO THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE AUDI SERVICE (3200 COLUMBIA PIKE, ARLINGTON, VA 22204). I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT CAMPAIGN IS EXPECTED TO START NOT EARLIER THAN SEPTEMBER 2017. SINCE I AM LEAVING THE USA IN AUGUST 2017 AND I AM PLANNING TO BRING MY CAR TO MY COUNTRY BULGARIA, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE WHAT SHOULD I DO. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN ASSIST IN CONNECTING ME WITH THE PRODUCER TAKATA TO HELP ME WITH RESOLVING THE ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AROUND SOME BLIND CURVES WHEN I HEARD A CLANK KIND OF SOUND AND CLICKING AND THEN LOST POWER FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH I COASTED HOME. I WAS VERY LUCKY. I COULD NOT GET THE ENGINE TO START AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE AUDI DEALER HE SAID, ENGINE NO START NO POWER: FOUND ENGINE CRANKS WITHOUT COMPRESSION. FOUND TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND JUMPED TIMING. REMOVED AND INSPECTED VALVES AND FOUND ALL VALVES TO BE BENT. AT THIS TIME WE NEED TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD AND TIMING CHAIN AND RELATED PARTS. PARTS: $4800 LABOR: $4835 TOTAL: $9635.00 REGARDS, I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT ACTUALLY IS SO COMMON THAT SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE WEBSITES ON HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CHAIN FROM DOING THIS. I OF COURSE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT ANY OF THIS BEFORE...BECAUSE NO ONE TOLD ME IT WAS AN ISSUE!!!! OR I WOULD HAVE DONE THE PREVENTATIVE CARE. ALSO, I JUST READ THEY ARE DOING A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH THIS IN NEW JERSEY. I CAN TELL YOU I AM FEELING VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING MY AUDI AGAIN!!! I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THESE CHAINS!

AFTER RUNNING ERRANDS I STARTED MY AUDI Q5. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO IDLE HARD. NO WARNING LIGHTS ECT., BUT ENOUGH FOR CONCERN. DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC JUST BLOCKS AWAY. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE TENSIONER ON THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR METICULOUSLY, AND AM BESIDE MYSELF OVER THIS. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED FILED LAST SPRING IN NEW JERSEY FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. MY ENGINE WAS REBUILT AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL TWO YEARS AGO ON AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. I AM BEING TOLD IT WILL COST ME $13,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE, BUT IS SEEMS THAT THIS WAS AN EXISTING PROBLEM THAT AUDI KEPT FROM ITS CUSTOMERS.

AUDI Q5. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NO REMEDY/TIME FRAME AVAILABLE TO REPAIR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT RECALL, FUEL PUMP CRACKS AND ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE ISSUES. *SMD UPDATED 04/19/2017. *JS

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG ON MY VEHICLE SINCE FEB 2016. I HAVE BEEN CALLING AUDI DEALERSHIPS SINCE OCTOBER 2016 TO GET THE SERVICE COMPLETE BUT WAS INITIALLY TOLD IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY END OF 2016. IT IS NOW MID-MARCH 2017 AND HAVING JUST SPOKEN TO AUDI, THEY ARE SAYING THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE YET. THEY HAVE SAID THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS MORE APPLICABLE TO HOT-HUMID STATES AND CALIFORNIA IS NOT ONE OF THEM. HOWEVER, I DO DRIVE TO OTHER HOT-HUMID STATES FREQUENTLY AND THIS IS A MAJOR CAUSE FOR CONCERN.

WE WERE TRANSFERRED FROM CHICAGO TO GERMANY AT THE END OF 2014 AND AS THE AUDI RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG AND FUEL FLANGE WERE NOW AVAILABLE WE SCHEDULED THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE ON 11/12 JAN 2017. THE DEALER HAD THE RECALLS IN THE SYSTEM AND PRINTED THEM OUT AS A SERVICE ORDER FOR REPAIR. ON 12TH JANUARY THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID AUDI AG WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIRS. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY 13 FEB 2017 AND THE DEALERS SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE DANIEL CARR SAID THEY WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE AND THAT THE DEALER HAS NO WAY OF ORDERING THE PARTS WITHOUT AUDI AG AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT AN AMERICAN DEALERSHIP IN THE US.

I HAVE BEEN TREATED SO BADLY THAT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUDI. THE MANAGER HAS TERRIBLE LEADERSHIP OF THE DEALERSHIP AND MY SERVICE EXPERIENCE WAS A ABSOLUTE DISASTER. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER SINCE I PURCHASED BY Q5 (NEVER MISSED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND ALWAYS DID IT AT THE DEALERSHIP). THE ENGINE HAS LEAKED OIL THE ENTIRE TIME. 3 YEARS AGO AUDI REPLACED THE PISTONS DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT (THEY PAID FOR IT). 4 DAYS BEFORE MY REGULARLY SCHEDULED SERVICE APPOINTMENT MY ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING IT HOME FROM WORK THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAD A HALF-MILE WARNING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING. IF I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. WHEN I GOT IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED IT OFF IT WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER 4-5 ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURNOVER. SO I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ASSESSMENT. THE NEXT DAY THEY TELL ME ENGINE CAR WAS WORTHLESS AND THAT I MUST PUT IN A NEW ENGINE FOR $11,000. THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN ENGINES FAIL AROUND 105,000. MINE HAS 107,000. I ASKED WHY THEY DID NOT ALERT ME TO THIS RISK AS I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN SOONER. I ARGUED BACK UNTIL THEY REDUCED THE PRICE TO $6,300 FOR NEW ENGINE ON A 6 YEAR OLD CAR, AND THEY WOULD OFFER ME $8,500 TO TRADE IT IN ON A NEW ONE. I DO NOT HAVE $6,300 TO DO INVEST. BESIDES, THE ENGINE IN THE Q5 HAS HAD ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT AS A PRE-CERTIFIED VEHICLE IN 2011. I AM A SINGLE MOM, AND I HAVE HAD TO RENT A CAR ON MY OWN FOR THE LA

TAKATA RECALL AFTER 10 MONTHS OF RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE, THE TAKATA REPLACEMENT BAGS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FROM FROMAUDI DEALER. I ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL IN NOVEMBER REGARDING FUEL PUMP FLANGE -- AFTER CALLING MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, I AM TOLD REPLACEMENT OFFERED BY RECALL NOTICE IS NOT AVAILABLE, MAY NOT BE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS - THIS IS FIRE HAZARD. AUDI LEAVES ME TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH 2 SERIOUS DEFECTS, WHICH THEY KNOW ABOUT, AND MAKE NO EFFORT TO DEAL WITH THE RECALL OR OFFER ME A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTED? *TR

TAKATA RECALL STILL NO SOLUTION. I CAN'T TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE. AUDI DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THEIR WILL BE A SOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL.. NOTHING... HAS HAPPENED, AND I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE BY AUDI.. BUT WANTED TO RECORD THAT NOTHING HAS NEED DONE. THERE IS ALSO A FUEL PUMP FLANGE RECALL THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. NO ISSUES AT THIS TIME.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE NOT RECEIVED INDICATION THAT DRIVER AIRBAG IS AVAILABLE FOR INSTALLATION. THIS CAR IS ALMOST 6 YEARS OLD AND WE LIVE IN A HOT HUMID CLIMATE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE FACTORS INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN AIRBAG PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM AUDI IN APRIL 2016. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE "PART WEREN'T AVAILABLE YET." IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2016 AND WHEN CHECKING ON THIS AGAIN I AM TOLD THE PARTS STILL AREN'T AVAILABLE. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WONDER WHY THE NHTSA DOESN'T FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE AS WELL. I CALLED AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE "NO IDEA WHEN THEY ARE GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM TAKATA." HOWEVER, AUDI IS OBVIOUSLY STILL MAKING THESE CARS AND SINCE THEY CAN FIND NEW AIRBAGS TO PUT IN NEW CARS, WHY ISN'T ANYONE PRESSURING THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE CARS THEY SOLD IN THE PAST BEFORE THEY USE THOSE PARTS ON NEW CARS!!! IT SEEMS THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SINCE TAKATA WILL BE LIABLE IF I DIE IN AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, I HOLD AUDI AND THE NHTSA RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT ANYONE CARES ABOUT PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT CARS A FEW YEARS AGO SINCE THE EXISTING SUPPLY OF GOOD AIRBAGS IS GOING INTO NEW CARS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN SOLD YET. I ALSO FIND IT ODD THAT IN THE PROGRESS TOWARDS COMPLETION REPORT ON YOUR WEBSITE, THERE IS NO DATA AT ALL FOR AUDI, WHICH MAKES ME THINK AUDI HAS DONE NOTHING TO EXPEDITE THIS RECALL WHILE ALL OF THEIR COMPETITORS HAVE. WHY DOES THE NHTSA ALLOW THIS? PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND RESPOND, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I NOW HAVE TWO RECALLS FOR MY 2011 Q5, THE TAKATA AIRBAG AND NOW THE FUEL PUMP THAT COULD BLOW UP. SOUNDS LIKE I AM DRIVING A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND NO ONE IS PRESSURING THE
