WHAT THE F IS GOING ON. STILL NO REPLACEMENT

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. THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP IN WARRINGTON, PA ON APRIL 29, 2017, 14 MONTHS PAST THE RECALL DATE.

TAKATA RECALL HEAD CURTAIN BAG RECALL FUEL PUMP FLANGE RECALL I'VE HAD NO ACCIDENT OR MALFUNCTION AS YET, BUT WANT THE PRODUCTS TO BE REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SCHEDULE ANY TIME FOR THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V001000 (VISIBILITY AND AIR BAGS) AND 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PARTS MAY BECOME AVAILABLE MID SEPTEMBER 2017.

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. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 1 YEAR SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM AND IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED AND NOBODY CAN TELL US WHEN IT CAN BE FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE!

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 - 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.

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

TAKATA AIRBAG - RECALL DATED FEB 2016 FOR A DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. 9 MONTHS LATER AUDI STILL DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING TO CONTINUE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT HAS A SERIOUS OPEN RECALL.

I HAVE ALREADY FILLED THE ONLINE FORM ABOUT MY VEHICLE BUT WILL ALSO SEND TO AUDI CARE WA1DKAFP8CA096667 I HAD LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING AT 32000 MILES AND WAS TOWED. I WAS TOLD WHEN I WENT FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR LOW OIL PRESSURE, THEY THOUGHT MAY BE THE OIL SWITCH WAS AT FAULT AND I HAD TO PAY FOR IT WITH JUST 32000 MILES ON IT OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING CAME BACK AGAIN WITH STARTING THE ENGINE ON THE DRIVEWAY. HAD TO TOW IT BACK TO JACK INGRAM IN MONTGOMERY AND NOW WAS TOLD ITS THE SEAL OF THE CRANK SHAFT AT FAULT. I THINK ITS A SAFTEY ISSUE WITH WARNING I CANT DRIVE WARNING ONSTRANDED ON THE STREET. I REQUEST YOU ALL TO LOOK INTI OIL LEAK FROM CRAMSHAFT THANKS DINESH

TAKATA RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. SOMETHING I AM PAYING A LOT OF HARD EARNED MONEY FOR MAY POTENTIALLY KILL ME. I CAN'T SELL THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT PAYING A LARGE AMOUNT TO COVER THE DIFFERENCE OF WHAT I OWE ON IT. HOW DO I GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR SELL WITHOUT OWING MONEY?

TAKATA RECALL . I OWN BOTH AN AUDI AND A VW COVERED BY THE APRIL 2016 RECALL. IT'S SIX MONTHS LATER AND HAVE HEARD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING REGARDING REPLACEMENT. I KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ENORMOUS ISSUE BUT WOULD EXPECT AT A MINIMUM A PERIODIC UPDATE REGARDING THE TIMEFRAME. UNLIKE THE DIESEL ISSUE , MY LIFE IS AT RISK WHILE OPERATING THESE VEHICLES.

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.

I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE FIX.
