TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL BY LETTER OVER ONE YEAR AGO. I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT TWO DIFFERENT AUDI DEALERSHIPS. BOTH DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A REPAIR ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT THE CURRENT AIRBAG IN MY CAR IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK THAT WHEN INFLATED DURING A CRASH COULD SHOOT METAL FRAGMENTS INTO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS (ME!). THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. I EXPECT AN EXPEDIENT INVESTIGATION AND RESOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD.

TAMARA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FEBRUARY OF 2016 NOTIFYING ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ONE YEAR LATER THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION FROM AUDI TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A TIME BOMB. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

TAKATA RECALL I FEEL PARANOID,SCARED AND WORRIED TO DRIVE ANYWHERE IN MY CAR, THIS IS NEGLIGENCE AND IT HAS TAKEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AND NOTHING IS GOING ON. I CANT BELIEVE SUCH A COMPANY ISNT BEING FORCED TO PRODUCE NEW BAGS!!! ITS ABSURD.
